146 @chapter What is Muse?
148 Emacs Muse is an authoring and publishing environment for Emacs. It
149 simplifies the process of writing documents and publishing them to
150 various output formats.
152 Muse consists of two main parts: an enhanced text-mode for authoring
153 documents and navigating within Muse projects, and a set of publishing
154 styles for generating different kinds of output.
156 This idea is not in any way new. Numerous systems exist -- even one
157 other for Emacs itself (Bhl Mode). What Muse adds to the picture is a
158 more modular environment, with a rather simple core, in which "styles"
159 are derived from to create new styles. Much of Muse's overall
160 functionality is optional. For example, you can use the publisher
161 without the major-mode, or the mode without doing any publishing; or if
162 you don't load the Texinfo or LaTeX modules, those styles won't be
165 The Muse codebase is a departure from emacs-wiki.el version 2.44. The
166 code has been restructured and rewritten, especially its publishing
167 functions. The focus in this revision is on the authoring and publishing
168 aspects, and the "wikiness" has been removed as a default behavior
169 (available in the optional @file{muse-wiki} module). CamelCase words are
170 no longer special by default.

279 @chapter Compiling and Installing Muse
281 Muse may be compiled and installed on your machine.
283 @subheading Compilation
285 This is an optional step, since Emacs Lisp source code does not
286 necessarily have to be byte-compiled. It will yield a speed increase,
289 A working copy of Emacs or XEmacs is needed in order to compile the
290 Emacs Muse. By default, the program that is installed with the name
291 @command{emacs} will be used.
293 If you want to use the @command{xemacs} binary to perform the
294 compilation, you would need to edit @file{Makefile.defs} in the
295 top-level directory as follows. You can put either a full path to an
296 Emacs or XEmacs binary or just the command name, as long as it is in the
301 SITEFLAG = -no-site-file
304 Running @code{make} should compile the Muse source files in the
305 @file{lisp} directory.
307 @subheading Installation
309 Muse may be installed into your file hierarchy by doing the following.
311 Edit the @file{Makefile.defs} file so that @env{ELISPDIR} points to
312 where you want the source and compiled Muse files to be installed and
313 @env{INFODIR} indicates where to put the Muse manual. Of course, you
314 will want to edit @env{EMACS} and @env{SITEFLAG} as shown in the
315 Compilation section if you are using XEmacs.
317 If you are installing Muse on a Debian or Ubuntu system, you might want
318 to change the value of @env{INSTALLINFO} as specified in
319 @file{Makefile.defs}.
321 If you wish to install Muse to different locations than the defaults
322 specify, edit @file{Makefile.defs} accordingly.
324 Run @code{make} as a normal user.
326 Run @code{make install} as the root user if you have chosen installation
327 locations that require this.
330 @node Getting Started, Projects, Installation, Top
331 @comment node-name, next, previous, up
332 @chapter Getting Started
335 To use Muse, add the directory containing its files to your
336 @code{load-path} variable, in your @file{.emacs} file. Then, load in
337 the authoring mode, and the styles you wish to publish to. An example
341 (add-to-list 'load-path "<path to Muse>")
343 (require 'muse-mode) ; load authoring mode
345 (require 'muse-html) ; load publishing styles I use
346 (require 'muse-latex)
347 (require 'muse-texinfo)
348 (require 'muse-docbook)
351 Once loaded, the command @kbd{M-x muse-publish-this-file} will publish
352 an input document to any available style. If you enable
353 @file{muse-mode} within a buffer, by typing @kbd{M-x muse-mode}, this
354 command will be bound to @kbd{C-c C-t}.
356 If the currently opened file is part of a defined project in
357 @code{muse-project-alist}, it may be published using @kbd{C-c C-p}.
359 You should also type @kbd{M-x customize-group}, and give the name
360 @samp{muse}. Each of the options has its own documentation.

365 @chapter Creating and Managing Muse Projects
368 Often you will want to publish all the files within a directory to a
369 particular set of output styles automatically. To support, Muse
370 allows for the creations of "projects". Here is a sample project, to
371 be defined in your @file{.emacs} file.
374 (require 'muse-project)
376 (setq muse-project-alist
377 '(("website" ; my various writings
378 ("~/Pages" :default "index")
379 (:base "html" :path "~/public_html")
380 (:base "pdf" :path "~/public_html/pdf"))))
383 The above defines a project named "website", whose files are located
384 in the directory @file{~/Pages}. The default page to visit is
385 @file{index}. When this project is published, each page will be
386 output as HTML to the directory @file{~/public_html}, and as PDF to
387 the directory @file{~/public_html/pdf}. Within any project page, you
388 may create a link to other pages using the syntax @samp{[[pagename]]}.
390 By default, Muse expects all project files to have the file extension
391 @file{.muse}. Files without this extension will not be associated with
392 Muse mode and will not be considered part of any project, even if they
393 are within a project directory.
395 If you don't want to use @file{.muse}, you can customize the extension
396 by setting the value of @code{muse-file-extension}.
398 If you don't want to use any extension at all, and want Muse to
399 autodetect project files based on their location, then add the following
400 to your Muse settings file.
403 (setq muse-file-extension nil
407 If you would like to include only some files from a directory in a Muse
408 project, you may use a regexp in place of @file{~/Pages} in the example.

492 @chapter Rules for Using Markup
495 A Muse document uses special, contextual markup rules to determine how
496 to format the output result. For example, if a paragraph is indented,
497 Muse assumes it should be quoted.
499 There are not too many markup rules, and all of them strive to be as
500 simple as possible so that you can focus on document creation, rather

530 Paragraphs in Muse must be separated by a blank line.
532 @cindex paragraphs, centered
533 @subheading Centered paragraphs and quotations
535 A line that begins with six or more columns of whitespace (either tabs
536 or spaces) indicates a centered paragraph. Alternatively, you can use
537 the @verb{|<center>|} tag to surround regions that are to be published as
540 @cindex paragraphs, quoted
542 But if a line begins with whitespace, though less than six columns, it
543 indicates a quoted paragraph. Alternatively, you can use the
544 @verb{|<quote>|} tag to surround regions that are to be published as
548 @cindex monospace, rendering blocks
549 @cindex HTML, rendering blocks in monospace
550 @subheading Literal paragraphs
552 The @verb{|<example>|} tag is used for examples, where whitespace should
553 be preserved, the text rendered in monospace, and any characters special
554 to the output style escaped.
557 @cindex HTML, inserting a raw block
558 There is also the @verb{|<literal>|} tag, which causes a marked block to
559 be entirely left alone. This can be used for inserting a hand-coded
560 HTML blocks into HTML output, for example.

567 A heading becomes a chapter or section in printed output -- depending on
568 the style. To indicate a heading, start a new paragraph with one or
569 more asterices, followed by a space and the heading title. Then begin
570 another paragraph to enter the text for that section.
572 All levels of headings will be published. Most publishing styles only
573 distinguish the between the first 4 levels, however.

590 Directives are lines beginning with the @samp{#} character that come
591 before any paragraphs or sections in the document. Directives are of
592 the form ``#directive content of directive''. You can use any
593 combination of uppercase and lowercase letters for directives, even if
594 the directive is not in the list below.
596 The @code{muse-publishing-directive} function may be used in header and
597 footer text to access directives. For example, to access the
598 @samp{#title} directive, use @code{(muse-publishing-directive "title")}.
600 The following is a list of directives that Muse uses.

807 A URL or email address encountered in the input text is published as a
808 hyperlink. These kind of links are called @dfn{implicit links} because
809 they are not separated from the rest of the Muse document in any way.
811 Some characters in URLs will prevent Muse from recognizing them as
812 implicit links. If you want to link to a URL containing spaces or any of
813 the characters ``][,"'`()<>^'', you will have to make the link
814 explicit. The punctuation characters ``.,;:'' are also not recognized as
815 part of a URL when they appear at its end. For information on how to
816 make an explicit link, see @ref{Explicit Links,,Hyperlinks and email
817 addresses with descriptions}.

832 @cindex inter-project links
833 The @command{muse-wiki} module also allows for InterWiki links. These
834 are similar to WikiWords, but they specify both the project and page of
835 a file. The names of your project entries in @code{muse-project-alist}
836 will be used as InterWiki names by default. Several examples follow.
839 Blog::DocumentingMuse
844 In the first case, the interwiki delimiter is @samp{::}, @samp{Blog} is
845 the project name, and @samp{DocumentingMuse} is the page name. In the
846 second example, @samp{#} is the interwiki delimiter. If the name of a
847 project occurs by itself in text, like the third case, it will be
848 colorized and published as a link to the default page of the given
851 Customization of interwiki links may be accomplished by editing the
852 @code{muse-wiki-interwiki-alist} option.

876 This behavior may be toggled with @kbd{C-c C-i}, or disabled permanently
877 by setting the @code{muse-colors-inline-images} option to @code{nil}.
879 The method for finding images may be altered by customizing the
880 @code{muse-colors-inline-image-method} option. One useful value for
881 this option is @code{muse-colors-use-publishing-directory}, which tells
882 Muse mode to look in the directory where the current file will be
883 published. The default is to look in the current directory. Relative
884 paths like @samp{../pics/} should work for either setting.
886 Eventually, it is hoped that Muse will be able to copy images from the a
887 ``source'' directory to a publishing directory by customizing
888 @code{muse-project-alist}, but this has not been implemented yet.

893 The following example will display correctly and publish correctly if a

906 centered caption below the picture. Formats that do not support
907 centering the image will instead leave it against the left margin.
910 [[../pics/mycat.png][My cat Dexter]]
913 Images with captions may only occur in their own paragraphs, with no
914 text on the same line. Otherwise, the published output will not be

982 Muse has several built-in tags that may prove useful during publishing.
983 @xref{muse-publish-markup-tags}, to see how to customize the tags that
984 Muse uses, as well as make your own tags.
988 If a tag takes arguments, it will look like this, where ``tagname'' is
992 <tagname arg1="string1" arg2="string2">
995 If you want the tag to look like it came straight from an XHTML
996 document, you can alternatively do the following.
999 <tagname arg1="string1" arg2="string2" />
1002 If a tag surrounds some text, it will look like this.
1005 <tagname>Some text</tagname>
1008 If a tag surrounds a large region, it will look like this.
1017 @subheading Tag listing
1019 This is the complete list of tags that Muse accepts, including those
1020 that were mentioned in previous sections.
1025 If publishing to HTML, surround the given text with a @verb{|<span>|}
1026 tag. It takes one argument called ``name'' that specifies the class
1027 attribute of the @verb{|<span>|} tag.
1029 If publishing to a different format, do nothing extra to the text.
1032 Treat the text surrounded by the tag as if they were enclosed in equal
1033 signs, that is, make it monospace.
1036 Run a command on the region, replacing the region with the result of the
1037 command. The command is specified with the ``interp'' argument. If no
1038 value for ``interp'' is given, pass the entire region to the shell.
1040 The ``markup'' argument controls how this section is marked up.
1042 If it is omitted, publish the region with the normal Muse rules.
1044 If "nil", do not mark up the region at all, but prevent Muse from
1045 further interpreting it.
1047 If "example", treat the region as if it was surrounded by the
1048 @verb{|<example>|} tag.
1050 If "verse", treat the region as if it was surrounded by the
1051 @verb{|<verse>|} tag, to preserve newlines.
1053 Otherwise, it should be the name of a function to call, with the buffer
1054 narrowed to the region.
1057 Treat the entire region as a comment. If the option
1058 @var{muse-publish-comments-p} is nil, delete the region, otherwise
1059 publish it using the comment syntax of the current publishing style.
1062 Publish a Table of Contents. This will either be inserted in-place or
1063 at the beginning of the document, depending on your publishing style.
1064 It does not have a delimiting tag.
1066 By default, only 2 levels of headings will be included in the generated
1067 Table of Contents. To change this globally, customize the
1068 @var{muse-publish-contents-depth} option. To change this only for the
1069 current tag, use the ``depth'' argument.
1072 Publish the region in monospace, preserving the newlines in the region.
1073 This is useful for snippets of code.
1076 Insert the given file at the current location during publishing. The
1077 basic use of this tag is as follows, replacing ``included_file'' with
1078 the name of the file that you want to include.
1081 <include file="included_file">
1084 The ``markup'' argument controls how this section is marked up.
1086 If it is omitted, publish the included text with the normal Muse
1089 If "nil", do not mark up the included text at all.
1091 If "example", treat the included text as if it was surrounded by the
1092 @verb{|<example>|} tag.
1094 If "verse", treat the included text as if it was surrounded by the
1095 @verb{|<verse>|} tag, to preserve newlines.
1097 Otherwise, it should be the name of a function to call after inserting
1098 the file with the buffer narrowed to the section inserted.
1101 Evaluate the Emacs Lisp expressions between the initial and ending tags.
1102 The result is then inserted into the document, so you do not need to
1103 explicitly call @code{insert}. All text properties are removed from the
1106 This tag takes the ``markup'' argument. See the description of
1107 @verb{|<command>|} for details.
1110 Make sure that the text enclosed by this tag is published without
1111 escaping it in any way. This is useful for inserting markup directly
1112 into the published document, when Muse does not provide the desired
1116 Mark up the text between the initial and ending tags. The markup
1117 command to use may be specified by the ``function'' argument. The
1118 standard Muse markup routines are used by default if no ``function''
1119 argument is provided.
1121 This is useful for marking up regions in headers and footers. One
1122 example that comes to mind is generating a published index of all of the
1123 files in the current project by doing the following.
1126 <markup><lisp>(muse-index-as-string t t)</lisp></markup>
1130 Run the @command{perl} language interpreter on the region, replacing the
1131 region with the result of the command.
1133 This tag takes the ``markup'' argument. See the description of
1134 @verb{|<command>|} for details.
1137 Run the @command{python} language interpreter on the region, replacing
1138 the region with the result of the command.
1140 This tag takes the ``markup'' argument. See the description of
1141 @verb{|<command>|} for details.
1144 Publish the region as a blockquote. This will either be inserted
1145 in-place or at the beginning of the document, depending on your
1146 publishing style. It does not have a delimiting tag.
1149 Run the @command{ruby} language interpreter on the region, replacing the
1150 region with the result of the command.
1152 This tag takes the ``markup'' argument. See the description of
1153 @verb{|<command>|} for details.
1156 This is used when you want to prevent Muse from trying to interpret some
1157 markup. Surround the markup in @verb{|<verbatim>|} and
1158 @verb{|</verbatim>|}, and it will not be interpreted.
1160 This tag was used often in previous versions of Muse because they did
1161 not support whole-document escaping of specials. Now, it will only be
1162 needed for other tags, and perhaps footnotes as well.
1165 Preserve the newlines in the region. In formats like HTML, newlines are
1166 removed by default, hence the need for this tag. In other publishing
1167 styles, this tag may cause the text to be indented slightly in a way
1168 that looks nice for poetry and prose.

1211 You will need to have @command{pyblosxom.cgi} or @command{blosxom.cgi}
1212 installed on a machine that you have upload access to.
1214 The following additional components are required in order to make the
1215 date of blog entries display as something sensible.
1219 A script to gather date directives from the entire blog tree into a
1220 single file. The file must associate a blog entry with a date.
1223 A plugin for (py)blosxom that reads this file.
1226 These 2 things are provided for @command{pyblosxom.cgi} in the
1227 @file{contrib/pyblosxom} subdirectory. @file{getstamps.py} provides the
1228 former service, while @file{hardcodedates.py} provides the latter
1229 service. Eventually it is hoped that a @command{blosxom.cgi} plugin and
1230 script will be found/written.
1232 Here is a sample listing from my @file{timestamps} file, which maps
1233 each file to a date. This can really be in any format, as long as your
1234 date-gathering script and your plugin can both understand it.

1242 The script @file{contrib/pyblosxom/make-blog} demonstrates how to call
1243 @file{getstamps.py}. Note that you will need to set the current
1244 directory to where your Muse files are, execute @file{getstamps.py}, and
1245 then move the generated timestamps file to your publishing directory.

1253 plus whatever normal content is desired.
1255 The date directive is not used directly by @command{pyblosxom.cgi} or
1256 this program. You need to have the two additional items from the former
1257 section to make use of this feature.
1259 There is a function called @code{muse-blosxom-new-entry} that will
1260 automate the process of making a new blog entry. To make use of it, do
1265 Customize @code{muse-blosxom-base-directory} to the location that your

1584 @cindex blog, journal style
1586 The module facilitates the keeping and publication of a journal. When
1587 publishing to HTML, it assumes the form of a web log, or blog.
1589 The input format for each entry is as follows.
1592 * 20040317: Title of entry
1597 "You know who you are. It comes down to a simple gut check: You
1598 either love what you do or you don't. Period." -- P. Bronson
1602 The "qotd", or Quote of the Day, is entirely optional. When generated
1603 to HTML, this entry is rendered as the following.
1607 <div class="entry-qotd">
1608 <h3>Quote of the Day:</h3>
1609 <p>"You know who you are. It comes down to a simple gut
1610 check: You either love what you do or you don't. Period."
1613 <div class="entry-body">
1614 <div class="entry-head">
1615 <div class="entry-date">
1616 <span class="date">March 17, 2004</span>
1618 <div class="entry-title">
1619 <h2>Title of entry</h2>
1622 <div class="entry-text">
1623 <p>Text for the entry.</p>
1629 The plurality of "div" tags makes it possible to display the entries in
1630 any form you wish, using a CSS style.
1632 Also, an .RDF file can be generated from your journal by publishing it
1633 with the "rdf" style. It uses the first two sentences of the first
1634 paragraph of each entry as its "description", and auto-generates tags
1635 for linking to the various entries.

1913 The @code{muse-poem} module makes it easy to attractively publish and
1914 reference poems in the following format, using the "memoir" module for
1915 LaTeX publishing. It will also markup poems for every other output
1916 style, though none are nearly as pretty.
1925 Annotations, history, notes, etc.
1928 Once a poem is written in this format, just publish it to PDF using the
1929 @code{poem-pdf} style. To make an inlined reference to a poem that
1930 you've written -- for example, from a blog page -- there is a "poem" tag
1931 defined by this module.
1934 <poem title="name.of.poem.page">
1937 Let's assume the template above was called @file{name.of.poem.page};
1938 then the above tag would result in this inclusion.

2150 The rules given in this variable are invoked first, followed by whatever
2151 rules are specified by the current style.
2153 Each member of the list is either a function, or a list of the following
2157 (REGEXP/SYMBOL TEXT-BEGIN-GROUP REPLACEMENT-TEXT/FUNCTION/SYMBOL)
2162 A regular expression, or symbol whose value is a regular expression,
2163 which is searched for using `re-search-forward'.
2165 @item TEXT-BEGIN-GROUP
2166 The matching group within that regexp which denotes the beginning of the
2167 actual text to be marked up.
2169 @item REPLACEMENT-TEXT
2170 A string that will be passed to `replace-match'.
2172 If it is not a string, but a function, it will be called to determine
2173 what the replacement text should be (it must return a string). If it is
2174 a symbol, the value of that symbol should be a string.
2177 The replacements are done in order, one rule at a time. Writing
2178 the regular expressions can be a tricky business. Note that case
2179 is never ignored. `case-fold-search' is always bound to nil
2180 while processing the markup rules.

2603 @anchor{muse-publish-markup-tags}
2604 @code{muse-publish-markup-tags}
2606 A list of tag specifications, for specially marking up text.
2608 XML-style tags are the best way to add custom markup to Muse. This is
2609 easily accomplished by customizing this list of markup tags.
2611 For each entry, the name of the tag is given, whether it expects a
2612 closing tag and/or an optional set of attributes, whether it is
2613 nestable, and a function that performs whatever action is desired within
2614 the delimited region.
2616 The tags themselves are deleted during publishing, before the function
2617 is called. The function is called with three arguments, the beginning
2618 and end of the region surrounded by the tags. If properties are
2619 allowed, they are passed as a third argument in the form of an alist.
2620 The `end' argument to the function is always a marker.
2622 Point is always at the beginning of the region within the tags, when the
2623 function is called. Wherever point is when the function finishes is
2624 where tag markup will resume.
2626 These tag rules are processed once at the beginning of markup, and once
2627 at the end, to catch any tags which may have been inserted in-between.

2854 John Wiegley started Muse upon realizing that EmacsWiki had some serious
2855 limitations. Around February 2004, he started making "emacs-wiki version
2856 3.00 APLHA", which eventually became known as Muse.
2858 Most of those who frequent the emacs-wiki mailing list continued to use
2859 emacs-wiki, mainly because Planner hasn't been ported over to it.
2861 As of 2004-12-01, Michael Olson became the maintainer of Muse, as per

2892 @c This file is intended to be included in another file.
2895 Copyright @copyright{} 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
2896 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA.
2898 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
2899 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
2902 @appendixsec Preamble
2904 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
2905 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
2906 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
2907 software---to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
2908 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
2909 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
2910 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
2911 the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
2914 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
2915 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
2916 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
2917 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
2918 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
2919 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
2921 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
2922 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
2923 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
2924 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
2926 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
2927 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
2928 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
2929 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
2932 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
2933 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
2934 distribute and/or modify the software.
2936 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
2937 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
2938 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
2939 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
2940 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
2941 authors' reputations.
2943 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
2944 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
2945 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
2946 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
2947 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
2949 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
2950 modification follow.
2953 @appendixsec TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
2956 @center TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
2961 This License applies to any program or other work which contains
2962 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
2963 under the terms of this General Public License. The ``Program'', below,
2964 refers to any such program or work, and a ``work based on the Program''
2965 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
2966 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
2967 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
2968 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
2969 the term ``modification''.) Each licensee is addressed as ``you''.
2971 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
2972 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
2973 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
2974 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
2975 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
2976 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
2979 You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
2980 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
2981 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
2982 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
2983 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
2984 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
2985 along with the Program.
2987 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
2988 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2991 You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
2992 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
2993 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
2994 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
2998 You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
2999 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
3002 You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
3003 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
3004 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
3005 parties under the terms of this License.
3008 If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
3009 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
3010 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
3011 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
3012 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
3013 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
3014 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
3015 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
3016 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
3017 the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
3020 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
3021 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
3022 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
3023 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
3024 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
3025 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
3026 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
3027 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
3028 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
3030 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
3031 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
3032 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
3033 collective works based on the Program.
3035 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
3036 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
3037 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
3038 the scope of this License.
3041 You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
3042 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
3043 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
3047 Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
3048 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
3049 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
3052 Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
3053 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
3054 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
3055 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
3056 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
3057 customarily used for software interchange; or,
3060 Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
3061 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
3062 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
3063 received the program in object code or executable form with such
3064 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
3067 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
3068 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
3069 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
3070 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
3071 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
3072 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
3073 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
3074 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
3075 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
3076 itself accompanies the executable.
3078 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
3079 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
3080 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
3081 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
3082 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
3085 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
3086 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
3087 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
3088 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
3089 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
3090 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
3091 parties remain in full compliance.
3094 You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
3095 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
3096 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
3097 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
3098 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
3099 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
3100 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
3101 the Program or works based on it.
3104 Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
3105 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
3106 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
3107 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
3108 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
3109 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
3113 If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
3114 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
3115 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
3116 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
3117 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
3118 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
3119 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
3120 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
3121 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
3122 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
3123 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
3124 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
3126 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
3127 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
3128 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
3131 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
3132 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
3133 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
3134 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
3135 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
3136 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
3137 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
3138 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
3139 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
3142 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
3143 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
3146 If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
3147 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
3148 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
3149 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
3150 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
3151 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
3152 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
3155 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
3156 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
3157 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
3158 address new problems or concerns.
3160 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
3161 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and ``any
3162 later version'', you have the option of following the terms and conditions
3163 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
3164 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
3165 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
3169 If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
3170 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
3171 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
3172 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
3173 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
3174 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
3175 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
3178 @heading NO WARRANTY
3185 BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
3186 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
3187 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
3188 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM ``AS IS'' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
3189 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

3215 @appendixsec Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
3217 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
3218 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
3219 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
3221 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
3222 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
3223 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
3224 the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

3247 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
3248 when it starts in an interactive mode:
3251 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19@var{yy} @var{name of author}
3252 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
3253 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
3254 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
3257 The hypothetical commands @samp{show w} and @samp{show c} should show
3258 the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the
3259 commands you use may be called something other than @samp{show w} and
3260 @samp{show c}; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items---whatever
3263 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
3264 school, if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if
3265 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
3268 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program

3275 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
3276 proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
3277 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
3278 library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
3279 Public License instead of this License.
