126 @chapter What is Muse?
128 Emacs Muse is an authoring and publishing environment for Emacs. It
129 simplifies the process of writing documents and publishing them to
130 various output formats.
132 Muse consists of two main parts: an enhanced text-mode for authoring
133 documents and navigating within Muse projects, and a set of publishing
134 styles for generating different kinds of output.
136 This idea is not in any way new. Numerous systems exist -- even one
137 other for Emacs itself (Bhl Mode). What Muse adds to the picture is a
138 more modular environment, with a rather simple core, in which "styles"
139 are derived from to create new styles. Much of Muse's overall
140 functionality is optional. For example, you can use the publisher
141 without the major-mode, or the mode without doing any publishing; or if
142 you don't load the Texinfo or LaTeX modules, those styles won't be
145 The Muse codebase is a departure from emacs-wiki.el version 2.44. The
146 code has been restructured and rewritten, especially its publishing
147 functions. The focus in this revision is on the authoring and publishing
148 aspects, and the "wikiness" has been removed as a default behavior (to
149 be offered again as an optional module). CamelCase words are no longer

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

345 @comment node-name, next, previous, up
346 @chapter Creating and Managing Muse Projects
349 Often you will want to publish all the files within a directory to a
350 particular set of output styles automatically. To support, Muse
351 allows for the creations of "projects". Here is a sample project, to
352 be defined in your @file{.emacs} file.
355 (require 'muse-project)
357 (setq muse-project-alist
358 '(("website" ; my various writings
359 ("~/Pages" :default "index")
360 (:base "html" :path "~/public_html")
361 (:base "pdf" :path "~/public_html/pdf"))))
364 The above defines a project named "website", whose files are located
365 in the directory @file{~/Pages}. The default page to visit is
366 @file{index}. When this project is published, each page will be
367 output as HTML to the directory @file{~/public_html}, and as PDF to
368 the directory @file{~/public_html/pdf}. Within any project page, you
369 may create a link to other pages using the syntax @samp{[[pagename]]}.

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

449 Paragraphs in Muse must be separated by a blank line.
451 @cindex paragraphs, centered
452 @strong{Centered paragraphs and quotations}
454 A line that begins with six or more columns of whitespace (either tabs
455 or spaces) indicates a centered paragraph.
457 @cindex paragraphs, quoted
459 But if a line begins with whitespace, though less than six columns, it
460 indicates a quoted paragraph.
463 @cindex monospace, rendering blocks
464 @cindex HTML, rendering blocks in monospace
465 @strong{Literal paragraphs}
467 The @verb{|<example>|} tag is used for examples, where whitespace should
468 be preserved, the text rendered in monospace, and any characters special
469 to the output style escaped.
472 @cindex HTML, inserting a raw block
473 There is also the @verb{|<literal>|} tag, which causes a marked block to
474 be entirely left alone. This can be used for inserting a hand-coded
475 HTML blocks into HTML output, for example.

478 @comment node-name, next, previous, up
479 @section Levels of headings
482 A heading becomes a chapter or section in printed output -- depending on
483 the style. To indicate a heading, start a new paragraph with one to
484 three asterices, followed by a space and the heading title. Then begin
485 another paragraph to enter the text for that section.
487 Only 3 levels of headings will be published as headings. A fourth level
488 of headings will be marked up, but displayed as plain text.

507 To emphasize text, surround it with certain specially recognized
513 ***very strong emphasis***
515 =verbatim and monospace=
519 While editing a Muse document in Muse mode, these forms of emphasis will
520 be highlighted in a WYSIWYG manner. Each of these forms may span
521 multiple lines, with the exception of the verbatim and monospace form.

528 A footnote reference is simply a number in square brackets. To define
529 the footnote, place this definition at the bottom of your file.
530 @samp{footnote-mode} can be used to greatly facilitate the creation of
531 these kinds of footnotes.
533 Footnotes are defined by the same number in brackets occurring at the
534 beginning of a line. Use footnote-mode's @kbd{C-c ! a} command, to very
535 easily insert footnotes while typing. Use @kbd{C-x C-x} to return to

544 Poetry requires that whitespace be preserved, but without resorting to
545 monospace. To indicate this, use the following markup, reminiscent of
549 > A line of Emacs verse;
550 > forgive its being so terse.
553 You can also use the @verb{|<verse>|} tag, if you prefer.
557 A line of Emacs verse;
558 forgive its being so terse.
562 Multiple stanzas may be included in one set of @verb{|<verse>|} tags, as

637 @cindex links, explicit
639 A hyperlink can reference a URL, or another page within a Muse
640 project. In addition, descriptive text can be specified, which should
641 be displayed rather than the link text in output styles that supports
642 link descriptions. The syntax is as follows.
645 [[link target][link description]]
646 [[link target without description]]
649 Thus, the current maintainer's homepage for Muse can be found
650 @samp{[[http://www.mwolson.org/projects/MuseMode.html][here]]},
651 or at @samp{[[http://www.mwolson.org/projects/MuseMode.html]]}.
654 @cindex links, with images
657 Links to images may be used in either the target or the description, or
658 both. Thus, the following code will publish as a clickable image that
659 points to @url{http://www.mwolson.org/}.
662 [[http://www.mwolson.org/][http://www.mwolson.org/static/logos/site-logo.png]]
665 @cindex images, local
666 @cindex images, displaying
667 If a link to a locally-available image is encountered in the link
668 description, Muse mode will attempt to display it if your version of
669 Emacs permits this. The following example will display correctly and
670 publish correctly if a @acronym{PNG} file called @file{TestLogo.png}
671 exists in the @file{../pics/} directory.
674 [[TestPage][../pics/TestLogo.png]]
677 @cindex images, without a description
678 An image link is not required to have a description. The link
679 @samp{[[../myimage.png]]} will display and publish as expected.
683 @cindex Email addresses
684 @cindex images, inlined
685 @strong{Bare URLs and Email addresses}
687 A URL or email address encountered in the input text is published as
688 a hyperlink if the output style supports it. If it is an image URL,

774 You will need to have @command{pyblosxom.cgi} or @command{blosxom.cgi}
775 installed on a machine that you have upload access to.
777 The following additional components are required in order to make the
778 date of blog entries display as something sensible.
782 A script to gather date directives from the entire blog tree into a
783 single file. The file must associate a blog entry with a date.
786 A plugin for (py)blosxom that reads this file.
789 These 2 things are provided for @command{pyblosxom.cgi} in the
790 @file{contrib/pyblosxom} subdirectory. @file{getstamps.py} provides the
791 former service, while @file{hardcodedates.py} provides the latter
792 service. Eventually it is hoped that a @command{blosxom.cgi} plugin and
793 script will be found/written.
795 Here is a sample listing from my @file{timestamps} file, which maps
796 each file to a date. This can really be in any format, as long as your
797 date-gathering script and your plugin can both understand it.

807 @subsection Format of a Blosxom entry and automation
809 Each Blosxom file must include `#date yyyy-mm-dd', or optionally the
810 longer `#date yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm', a title (using the #title directive),
811 plus whatever normal content is desired.
813 The date directive is not used directly by @command{pyblosxom.cgi} or
814 this program. You need to have the two additional items from the former
815 section to make use of this feature.
817 There is a function called @code{muse-blosxom-new-entry} that will
818 automate the process of making a new blog entry. To make use of it, do
823 Customize @code{muse-blosxom-base-directory} to the location that your
824 blog entries are stored.
827 Assign the @code{muse-blosxom-new-entry} function to a key sequence. I
828 use the following code to assign this function to @kbd{C-c p l'}.

842 will be created that corresponds with the title, but in lowercase
843 letters and having special characters converted to underscores. The
844 title and date directives will be inserted automatically.

1128 @cindex blog, journal style
1130 The module facilitates the keeping and publication of a journal. When
1131 publishing to HTML, it assumes the form of a web log, or blog.
1133 The input format for each entry is as follows.
1136 * 20040317: Title of entry
1141 "You know who you are. It comes down to a simple gut check: You
1142 either love what you do or you don't. Period." -- P. Bronson
1146 The "qotd", or Quote of the Day, is entirely optional. When generated
1147 to HTML, this entry is rendered as the following.
1151 <div class="entry-qotd">
1152 <h3>Quote of the Day:</h3>
1153 <p>"You know who you are. It comes down to a simple gut
1154 check: You either love what you do or you don't. Period."
1157 <div class="entry-body">
1158 <div class="entry-head">
1159 <div class="entry-date">
1160 <span class="date">March 17, 2004</span>
1162 <div class="entry-title">
1163 <h2>Title of entry</h2>
1166 <div class="entry-text">
1167 <p>Text for the entry.</p>
1173 The plurality of "div" tags makes it possible to display the entries in
1174 any form you wish, using a CSS style.
1176 Also, an .RDF file can be generated from your journal by publishing it
1177 with the "rdf" style. It uses the first two sentences of the first
1178 paragraph of each entry as its "description", and auto-generates tags
1179 for linking to the various entries.

1427 The @code{muse-poem} module makes it easy to attractively publish and
1428 reference poems in the following format, using the "memoir" module for
1429 LaTeX publishing. It will also markup poems for every other output
1430 style, though none are nearly as pretty.
1439 Annotations, history, notes, etc.
1442 Once a poem is written in this format, just publish it to PDF using the
1443 @code{poem-pdf} style. To make an inlined reference to a poem that
1444 you've written -- for example, from a blog page -- there is a "poem" tag
1445 defined by this module.
1448 <poem title="name.of.poem.page">
1451 Let's assume the template above was called @file{name.of.poem.page};

1643 (REGEXP/SYMBOL TEXT-BEGIN-GROUP REPLACEMENT-TEXT/FUNCTION/SYMBOL)
1648 A regular expression, or symbol whose value is a regular expression,
1649 which is searched for using `re-search-forward'.
1651 @item TEXT-BEGIN-GROUP
1652 The matching group within that regexp which denotes the beginning of the
1653 actual text to be marked up.
1655 @item REPLACEMENT-TEXT
1656 A string that will be passed to `replace-match'.
1658 If it is not a string, but a function, it will be called to determine
1659 what the replacement text should be (it must return a string). If it is
1660 a symbol, the value of that symbol should be a string.
1663 The replacements are done in order, one rule at a time. Writing
1664 the regular expressions can be a tricky business. Note that case
1665 is never ignored. `case-fold-search' is always bound to nil
1666 while processing the markup rules.
1668 @cindex publishing, markup tags
1669 @anchor{muse-publish-markup-tags}
1670 @item muse-publish-markup-tags
1671 A list of tag specifications, for specially marking up text.
1673 XML-style tags are the best way to add custom markup to Muse. This is
1674 easily accomplished by customizing this list of markup tags.
1676 For each entry, the name of the tag is given, whether it expects a
1677 closing tag and/or an optional set of attributes, and a function that
1678 performs whatever action is desired within the delimited region.
1680 The tags themselves are deleted during publishing, before the function
1681 is called. The function is called with three arguments, the beginning
1682 and end of the region surrounded by the tags. If properties are
1683 allowed, they are passed as a third argument in the form of an alist.
1684 The `end' argument to the function is always a marker.
1686 Point is always at the beginning of the region within the tags, when the
1687 function is called. Wherever point is when the function finishes is
1688 where tag markup will resume.
1690 These tag rules are processed once at the beginning of markup, and once
1691 at the end, to catch any tags which may have been inserted in-between.

1790 John Wiegley started Muse upon realizing that EmacsWiki had some serious
1791 limitations. Around February 2004, he started making "emacs-wiki version
1792 3.00 APLHA", which eventually became known as Muse.
1794 Most of those who frequent the emacs-wiki mailing list continued to use
1795 emacs-wiki, mainly because Planner hasn't been ported over to it.
1797 As of 2004-12-01, Michael Olson became the maintainer of Muse, as per
1798 John Wiegley's request.

1831 Copyright @copyright{} 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
1832 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA.
1834 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
1835 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
1838 @appendixsec Preamble
1840 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
1841 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
1842 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
1843 software---to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
1844 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
1845 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
1846 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
1847 the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
1850 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
1851 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
1852 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
1853 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
1854 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
1855 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
1857 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
1858 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
1859 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
1860 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
1862 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
1863 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
1864 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
1865 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
1868 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
1869 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
1870 distribute and/or modify the software.
1872 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
1873 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
1874 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
1875 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
1876 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
1877 authors' reputations.
1879 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
1880 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
1881 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
1882 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
1883 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
1885 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
1886 modification follow.
1889 @appendixsec TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
1892 @center TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
1897 This License applies to any program or other work which contains
1898 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
1899 under the terms of this General Public License. The ``Program'', below,
1900 refers to any such program or work, and a ``work based on the Program''
1901 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
1902 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
1903 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
1904 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
1905 the term ``modification''.) Each licensee is addressed as ``you''.
1907 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
1908 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
1909 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
1910 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
1911 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
1912 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1915 You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
1916 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
1917 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
1918 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
1919 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
1920 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
1921 along with the Program.
1923 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
1924 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
1927 You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
1928 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
1929 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
1930 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
1934 You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
1935 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
1938 You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
1939 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
1940 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
1941 parties under the terms of this License.
1944 If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
1945 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
1946 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
1947 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
1948 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
1949 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
1950 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
1951 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
1952 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
1953 the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
1956 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
1957 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
1958 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
1959 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
1960 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
1961 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
1962 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
1963 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
1964 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
1966 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
1967 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
1968 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
1969 collective works based on the Program.
1971 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
1972 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
1973 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
1974 the scope of this License.
1977 You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
1978 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
1979 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
1983 Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
1984 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1985 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
1988 Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
1989 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
1990 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
1991 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
1992 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
1993 customarily used for software interchange; or,
1996 Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
1997 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
1998 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
1999 received the program in object code or executable form with such
2000 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
2003 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
2004 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
2005 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
2006 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
2007 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
2008 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
2009 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
2010 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
2011 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
2012 itself accompanies the executable.
2014 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
2015 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
2016 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
2017 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
2018 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
2021 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
2022 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
2023 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
2024 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
2025 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
2026 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
2027 parties remain in full compliance.
2030 You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
2031 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
2032 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
2033 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
2034 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
2035 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
2036 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
2037 the Program or works based on it.
2040 Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
2041 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
2042 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
2043 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
2044 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
2045 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
2049 If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
2050 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
2051 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
2052 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
2053 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
2054 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
2055 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
2056 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
2057 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
2058 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
2059 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
2060 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
2062 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
2063 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
2064 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
2067 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
2068 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
2069 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
2070 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
2071 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
2072 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
2073 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
2074 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
2075 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
2078 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
2079 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
2082 If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
2083 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
2084 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
2085 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
2086 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
2087 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
2088 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
2091 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
2092 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
2093 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
2094 address new problems or concerns.
2096 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
2097 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and ``any
2098 later version'', you have the option of following the terms and conditions
2099 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
2100 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
2101 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
2105 If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
2106 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
2107 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
2108 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
2109 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
2110 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
2111 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
2114 @heading NO WARRANTY
2121 BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
2122 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
2123 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
2124 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM ``AS IS'' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED

2153 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
2154 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
2155 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
2157 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
2158 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
2159 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
2160 the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
