Use allout invisible-text overlays instead of selective display for concealed text. Also, lots of general cleanup, and improved compatibility code. (allout-version) Incremented, corrected, revised, and refined module commentary. (provide 'allout): Moved to the bottom, added a require of overlay. (allout-encrypt-unencrypted-on-saves): Defaults to t instead of `except-current'. (allout-write-file-hook-handler): Minimize delay. (count-trailing-whitespace-region): New function so auto-encryption of current topic can resituate cursor exactly. PGP/GPG encryption trims trailing whitespace from lines, which must be accounted for across encryption then decryption. (allout-command-prefix): Now defaults to "\C-c<space>" rather than just plain "\C-c", to avoid intruding on user's keybinding space. (allout-toggle-current-subtree-encryption): Pass along fetch-pass parameter, so user request to provide a new password is done. (allout-outside-normal-auto-fill-function, allout-auto-fill): Refined mechanism for auto-filling behavior while in allout mode. (allout-mode): Explicitly specify the mode map in the docstring. Clarify provision for various write-file hook var names. Adjusted for invisible-text overlays instead of selective-display. (allout-depth): Really return 0 if not within any topic. This rectifies `allout-beginning-of-level' and sequence numbering errors that occur when cutting and pasting numbered topics. Changed from a in-line subst to a regular function, as well. (allout-pre-next-prefix): Renamed from allout-pre-next-preface. (allout-end-of-subtree, allout-end-of-subtree) (allout-end-of-entry, allout-end-of-current-heading) (allout-next-visible-heading, allout-open-topic, allout-show-entry) (allout-show-children, allout-show-to-offshoot) (allout-hide-current-entry, allout-show-current-entry): Rectified handling of trailing blank lines between items. (allout-line-boundary-regexp, set-allout-regexp, allout-depth) (allout-current-depth, allout-unprotected, allout-hidden-p) (allout-on-current-heading-p, allout-listify-exposed) (allout-chart-subtree, allout-goto-prefix) (allout-back-to-current-heading, allout-get-body-text) (allout-snug-back, allout-flag-current-subtree, allout-show-all) (allout-hide-region-body, allout-toggle-subtree-encryption) (allout-encrypt-string, allout-encrypted-key-info) (allout-next-topic-pending-encryption, allout-encrypt-decrypted) (allout-file-vars-section-data): Adjusted for use with invisible-text overlays instead of selective-display. (allout-kill-line, allout-kill-topic, allout-yank-processing): Reworked for use with invisible text overlays. (allout-current-topic-collapsed-p): New function. (allout-hide-current-subtree): Use allout-current-topic-collapsed-p to know when to close the containing topic. (allout-pre-command-business, allout-post-command-business): Simplify undo-batching and dynamic isearch exposure. (allout-set-overlay-category): New for invisible-text overlays. Sets properties of allout-overlay-category, used by allout-flag-region to set invisible-text overlay properties. (allout-get-invisibility-overlay): Get the first qualifying invisibility overlay, so we can find the extent of it. (allout-back-to-visible-text): Get to just before the beginnining of the current invisibility overlay, if any. (allout-overlay-insert-in-front-handler) (allout-overlay-interior-modification-handler) (allout-before-change-handler, allout-isearch-end-handler): New functions to handle extraordinary actions affecting concealed text. (allout-flag-region): Use overlays instead of selective-display for invisible text - by inheritence from the properties of allout-overlay-category in mainline emacs, and applied property-by-property in xemacs, some recent versions of which don't inherit the properties from the category. Provisions to respond to concealed-text edits simplified drastically. (allout-isearch-rectification, allout-isearch-was-font-lock) (allout-isearch-expose, allout-enwrap-isearch) (allout-isearch-abort, allout-pre-was-isearching) (allout-isearch-prior-pos, allout-isearch-did-quit) (allout-isearch-dynamic-expose) (allout-hide-current-entry-completely): Functions deleted. (allout-undo-aggregation): Explicit undo aggregation no longer necessary due to transition away from selective-display. (set-allout-regexp, allout-up-current-level) (allout-next-visible-heading, allout-forward-current-level) (allout-open-topic, allout-reindent-body, allout-rebullet-topic) (allout-kill-line, allout-yank-processing, allout-show-children) (allout-expose-topic, allout-old-expose-topic) (allout-listify-exposed, allout-insert-latex-header) (allout-toggle-subtree-encryption, allout-encrypt-string) (remove-from-invisibility-spec, allout-hide-current-subtree): Ditched unused variables.

This directory contains the source files for the C component of GNU Emacs.
Nothing in this directory is needed for using Emacs once it is built
and installed, if the dumped Emacs (on Unix systems) or the Emacs
executable and map files (on VMS systems) are copied elsewhere.

See the files ../README and then ../INSTALL for installation instructions.

Under GNU and Unix systems, the file `Makefile.in' is used as a
template by the script `../configure' to produce `Makefile.c'.  The
same script then uses `cpp' to produce the machine-dependent
`Makefile' from `Makefile.c'; `Makefile' is the file which actually
controls the compilation of Emacs.  Most of this should work
transparently to the user; you should only need to run `../configure',
and then type `make'.

See the file VMSBUILD in this directory for instructions on compiling,
linking and building Emacs on VMS.

The files `*.com' and `temacs.opt' are used on VMS only.
The files `vlimit.h', `ioclt.h' and `param.h' are stubs to
allow compilation on VMS with the minimum amount of #ifdefs.

`uaf.h' contains VMS uaf structure definitions.  This is only needed if
you define READ_SYSUAF.  This should only be done for single-user
systems where you are not overly concerned with security, since it
either requires that you install Emacs with SYSPRV or make SYSUAF.DAT
world readable.  Otherwise, Emacs can determine information about the
current user, but no one else.
