27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; This file provides routines for getting the "thing" at the location of
30 ;; point, whatever that "thing" happens to be. The "thing" is defined by
31 ;; its beginning and end positions in the buffer.
33 ;; The function bounds-of-thing-at-point finds the beginning and end
34 ;; positions by moving first forward to the end of the "thing", and then
35 ;; backwards to the beginning. By default, it uses the corresponding
36 ;; forward-"thing" operator (eg. forward-word, forward-line).
38 ;; Special cases are allowed for using properties associated with the named
39 ;; "thing":
41 ;; forward-op Function to call to skip forward over a "thing" (or
42 ;; with a negative argument, backward).
44 ;; beginning-op Function to call to skip to the beginning of a "thing".
45 ;; end-op Function to call to skip to the end of a "thing".
47 ;; Reliance on existing operators means that many `things' can be accessed
48 ;; without further code: eg.
49 ;; (thing-at-point 'line)
50 ;; (thing-at-point 'page)
