27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; This file provides a simple way to define powerful templates, or
30 ;; macros, if you wish. It is mainly intended for, but not limited to,
31 ;; other programmers to be used for creating shortcuts for editing
32 ;; certain kind of documents. It was originally written to be used by
33 ;; a HTML editing mode written by Nelson Minar <nelson@santafe.edu>,
34 ;; and his html-helper-mode.el is probably the best example of how to
35 ;; use this program.
37 ;; A template is defined as a list of items to be inserted in the
38 ;; current buffer at point. Some of the items can be simple strings,
39 ;; while other can control formatting or define special points of
40 ;; interest in the inserted text.
42 ;; If a template defines a "point of interest" that point is inserted
43 ;; in a buffer-local list of "points of interest" that the user can
44 ;; jump between with the commands `tempo-backward-mark' and
45 ;; `tempo-forward-mark'. If the template definer provides a prompt for
46 ;; the point, and the variable `tempo-interactive' is non-nil, the
47 ;; user will be prompted for a string to be inserted in the buffer,
48 ;; using the minibuffer.
50 ;; The template can also define one point to be replaced with the
51 ;; current region if the template command is called with a prefix (or
52 ;; a non-nil argument).
54 ;; More flexible templates can be created by including lisp symbols,
55 ;; which will be evaluated as variables, or lists, which will be
56 ;; evaluated as lisp expressions.
58 ;; See the documentation for tempo-define-template for the different
59 ;; items that can be used to define a tempo template.
61 ;; One of the more powerful features of tempo templates are automatic
62 ;; completion. With every template can be assigned a special tag that
63 ;; should be recognized by `tempo-complete-tag' and expanded to the
64 ;; complete template. By default the tags are added to a global list
65 ;; of template tags, and are matched against the last word before
66 ;; point. But if you assign your tags to a specific list, you can also
67 ;; specify another method for matching text in the buffer against the
68 ;; tags. In the HTML mode, for instance, the tags are matched against
69 ;; the text between the last `<' and point.
71 ;; When defining a template named `foo', a symbol named
72 ;; `tempo-template-foo' will be created whose value as a variable will
73 ;; be the template definition, and its function value will be an
74 ;; interactive function that inserts the template at the point.
76 ;; The latest tempo.el distribution can be fetched from
77 ;; ftp.lysator.liu.se in the directory /pub/emacs
79 ;; There is also a WWW page at
80 ;; http://www.lysator.liu.se/~davidk/elisp/ which has some information
82 ;;; Known bugs:
84 ;; If the 'o is the first element in a template, strange things can
85 ;; happen when the template is inserted at the beginning of a
86 ;; line. This is due to strange behaviour in open-line. But it should
87 ;; be easily avoided.
89 ;; The 'o tag is also a problem when including the region. This will
90 ;; be looked into.
92 ;; Clicking mouse-2 in the completion buffer gives strange results.
94 ;; There is a bug in some emacs versions that prevents completion from
95 ;; working. If it doesn't work for you, send me a note indicating your
96 ;; emacs version and your problems.
98 ;;; Contributors:
100 ;; These people have given me important feedback and new ideas for
101 ;; tempo.el. Thanks.

224 This function creates a template variable `tempo-template-NAME' and an
225 interactive function `tempo-template-NAME' that inserts the template
226 at the point. The created function is returned.
228 NAME is a string that contains the name of the template, ELEMENTS is a
229 list of elements in the template, TAG is the tag used for completion,
230 DOCUMENTATION is the documentation string for the insertion command
231 created, and TAGLIST (a symbol) is the tag list that TAG (if provided)
232 should be added to). If TAGLIST is nil and TAG is non-nil, TAG is
233 added to `tempo-tags'
235 The elements in ELEMENTS can be of several types:
237 - A string. It is sent to the hooks in `tempo-insert-string-functions',
238 and the result is inserted.
239 - The symbol 'p. This position is saved in `tempo-marks'.
240 - The symbol 'r. If `tempo-insert' is called with ON-REGION non-nil
241 the current region is placed here. Otherwise it works like 'p.
242 - (p PROMPT <NAME> <NOINSERT>) If `tempo-interactive' is non-nil, the
243 user is prompted in the minibuffer with PROMPT for a string to be
244 inserted. If the optional parameter NAME is non-nil, the text is
245 saved for later insertion with the `s' tag. If there already is
246 something saved under NAME that value is used instead and no
247 prompting is made. If NOINSERT is provided and non-nil, nothing is
248 inserted, but text is still saved when a NAME is provided. For
249 clarity, the symbol 'noinsert should be used as argument.
250 - (P PROMPT <NAME> <NOINSERT>) Works just like the previous tag, but
251 forces tempo-interactive to be true.
252 - (r PROMPT <NAME> <NOINSERT>) like the previous, but if
253 `tempo-interactive' is nil and `tempo-insert' is called with
254 ON-REGION non-nil, the current region is placed here. This usually
255 happens when you call the template function with a prefix argument.
256 - (s NAME) Inserts text previously read with the (p ..) construct.
257 Finds the insertion saved under NAME and inserts it. Acts like 'p
258 if tempo-interactive is nil.
259 - '& If there is only whitespace between the line start and point,
260 nothing happens. Otherwise a newline is inserted.
261 - '% If there is only whitespace between point and end-of-line
262 nothing happens. Otherwise a newline is inserted.
263 - 'n inserts a newline.
264 - '> The line is indented using `indent-according-to-mode'. Note that
265 you often should place this item after the text you want on the
266 line.
267 - 'r> Like r, but it also indents the region.
268 - 'n> Inserts a newline and indents line.
269 - 'o Like '% but leaves the point before the newline.
270 - nil. It is ignored.
271 - Anything else. It is evaluated and the result is treated as an
272 element to be inserted. One additional tag is useful for these
273 cases. If an expression returns a list '(l foo bar), the elements
274 after 'l will be inserted according to the usual rules. This makes
275 it possible to return several elements from one expression."
