184 \(`_') in skeleton around next REGIONS words, if REGIONS is positive.
185 If REGIONS is negative, wrap REGIONS preceding interregions into first
186 REGIONS interesting positions \(successive `_'s) in skeleton.
188 An interregion is the stretch of text between two contiguous marked
189 points. If you marked A B C [] (where [] is the cursor) in
190 alphabetical order, the 3 interregions are simply the last 3 regions.
191 But if you marked B A [] C, the interregions are B-A, A-[], []-C.
193 The optional third argument STR, if specified, is the value for the
194 variable `str' within the skeleton. When this is non-nil, the
195 interactor gets ignored, and this should be a valid skeleton element.
197 SKELETON is made up as (INTERACTOR ELEMENT ...). INTERACTOR may be nil if
198 not needed, a prompt-string or an expression for complex read functions.
200 If ELEMENT is a string or a character it gets inserted (see also
201 `skeleton-transformation-function'). Other possibilities are:
203 \\n go to next line and indent according to mode
204 _ interesting point, interregion here
205 - interesting point, no interregion interaction, overrides
206 interesting point set by _
207 > indent line (or interregion if > _) according to major mode
208 @ add position to `skeleton-positions'
209 & do next ELEMENT if previous moved point
210 | do next ELEMENT if previous didn't move point
211 -num delete num preceding characters (see `skeleton-untabify')
212 resume: skipped, continue here if quit is signaled
215 After termination, point will be positioned at the last occurrence of -
216 or at the first occurrence of _ or at the end of the inserted text.
218 Further elements can be defined via `skeleton-further-elements'. ELEMENT may
219 itself be a SKELETON with an INTERACTOR. The user is prompted repeatedly for
220 different inputs. The SKELETON is processed as often as the user enters a
221 non-empty string. \\[keyboard-quit] terminates skeleton insertion, but
222 continues after `resume:' and positions at `_' if any. If INTERACTOR in such
223 a subskeleton is a prompt-string which contains a \".. %s ..\" it is
224 formatted with `skeleton-subprompt'. Such an INTERACTOR may also be a list of
225 strings with the subskeleton being repeated once for each string.
227 Quoted Lisp expressions are evaluated for their side-effects.
228 Other Lisp expressions are evaluated and the value treated as above.
229 Note that expressions may not return t since this implies an
230 endless loop. Modes can define other symbols by locally setting them
231 to any valid skeleton element. The following local variables are
234 str first time: read a string according to INTERACTOR
235 then: insert previously read string once more
