37 .SH DESCRIPTION | |
38 .I GNU Emacs | |
39 is a version of | |
40 .IR Emacs , | |
41 written by the author of the original (PDP-10) | |
42 .IR Emacs , | |
43 Richard Stallman. | |
44 .br | |
45 The primary documentation of GNU Emacs is in the GNU Emacs Manual, | |
46 which you can read using Info, either from Emacs or as a standalone | |
47 program. | |
48 Please look there for complete and up-to-date documentation. | |
49 This man page is updated only when someone volunteers to do so; the | |
50 Emacs maintainers' priority goal is to minimize the amount of time | |
51 this man page takes away from other more useful projects. | |
52 .br | |
53 The user functionality of GNU Emacs encompasses | |
54 everything other | |
55 .I Emacs | |
56 editors do, and it is easily extensible since its | |
57 editing commands are written in Lisp. | |
58 .PP | |
59 .I Emacs | |
60 has an extensive interactive help facility, | |
61 but the facility assumes that you know how to manipulate | |
62 .I Emacs | |
63 windows and buffers. | |
64 CTRL-h or F1 enters the Help facility. | |
65 Help Tutorial (CTRL-h t) starts an interactive tutorial which can | |
66 teach beginners the fundamentals of | |
67 .I Emacs | |
68 in a few minutes. | |
69 Help Apropos (CTRL-h a) helps you | |
70 find a command given its functionality, Help Character (CTRL-h c) | |
71 describes a given character's effect, and Help Function (CTRL-h f) | |
72 describes a given Lisp function specified by name. | |
73 .PP | |
74 .IR Emacs 's | |
75 Undo can undo several steps of modification to your buffers, so it is | |
76 easy to recover from editing mistakes. | |
77 .PP | |
78 .IR "GNU Emacs" 's | |
79 many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and sending (Mail), | |
80 outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile), running subshells | |
81 within | |
82 .I Emacs | |
83 windows (Shell), running a Lisp read-eval-print loop | |
84 (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy (Doctor), and much more. | |
85 .PP | |
86 There is an extensive reference manual, but | |
87 users of other Emacses | |
88 should have little trouble adapting even | |
89 without a copy. | |
90 Users new to | |
91 .I Emacs | |
92 will be able | |
93 to use basic features fairly rapidly by studying the tutorial and | |
94 using the self-documentation features. | |
95 . | |

97 The following options are of general interest: | |

225 .\" START DELETING HERE IF YOU'RE NOT USING X | |
226 .SS Using Emacs with X | |
227 .I Emacs | |
228 has been tailored to work well with the X window system. | |
229 If you run | |
230 .I Emacs | |
231 from under X windows, it will create its own X window to | |
232 display in. | |
233 You will probably want to start the editor as a background | |
234 process so that you can continue using your original window. | |
235 .PP | |
236 .I Emacs | |
237 can be started with the following X switches: | |
238 .RS | |
239 .TP 8 | |
240 .BI \-\-name " name" | |
241 Specify the name which should be assigned to the initial | |
242 .I Emacs | |
243 window. | |
244 This controls looking up X resources as well as the window title. | |
245 .TP | |
246 .BI \-T " name\fR,\fP " \-\-title " name" | |
247 Specify the title for the initial X window. | |
248 .TP | |
249 .BR \-r ", " \-rv ", " \-\-reverse\-video | |

251 .I Emacs | |
252 window in reverse video. | |
253 .TP | |
254 .BI \-fn " font\fR,\fP " \-\-font " font" | |
255 Set the | |
256 .I Emacs | |
257 window's font to that specified by | |
258 .IR font . | |
259 You will find the various | |
260 .I X | |
261 fonts in the | |
262 .I /usr/lib/X11/fonts | |
263 directory. | |
264 Note that | |
265 .I Emacs | |
266 will only accept fixed width fonts. | |
267 Under the X11 Release 4 font-naming conventions, any font with the | |
268 value "m" or "c" in the eleventh field of the font name is a fixed | |
269 width font. | |
270 Furthermore, fonts whose name are of the form | |
271 .IR width x height | |
272 are generally fixed width, as is the font | |
273 .IR fixed . | |
274 See | |
275 .BR xlsfonts (1) | |
276 for more information. | |
277 | |
278 When you specify a font, be sure to put a space between the | |
279 switch and the font name. | |

288 or a mode name like `ansi8'. | |
289 .TP | |
290 .BI \-bw " pixels\fR,\fP " \-\-border\-width " pixels" | |
291 Set the | |
292 .I Emacs | |
293 window's border width to the number of pixels specified by | |
294 .IR pixels . | |

296 .TP | |
297 .BI \-ib " pixels\fR,\fP " \-\-internal\-border " pixels" | |
298 Set the window's internal border width to the number of pixels specified | |
299 by | |

301 Defaults to one pixel of padding on each side of the window. | |
302 .TP | |
303 .BI \-g " geometry\fR,\fP " \-\-geometry " geometry" | |
304 Set the | |
305 .I Emacs | |
306 window's width, height, and position as specified. | |
307 The geometry specification is in the standard X format; see | |
308 .BR X (7) | |
309 for more information. | |
310 The width and height are specified in characters; the default is | |
311 80 by 24. | |
312 See the Emacs manual, section "Options for Window Size and Position", | |

657 .SH BUGS | |
658 There is a mailing list, bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org, for reporting Emacs | |
659 bugs and fixes. | |
660 But before reporting something as a bug, please try to be sure that | |
661 it really is a bug, not a misunderstanding or a deliberate feature. | |
662 We ask you to read the section ``Reporting Emacs Bugs'' near the | |
663 end of the reference manual (or Info system) for hints on how and | |
664 when to report bugs. | |
665 Also, include the version number of the Emacs you are running in | |
666 \fIevery\fR bug report that you send in. | |
667 | |
668 Do not expect a personal answer to a bug report. | |
669 The purpose of reporting bugs is to get them fixed for everyone | |
670 in the next release, if possible. | |
671 For personal assistance, look in the SERVICE file (see above) for | |
672 a list of people who offer it. | |
673 | |
674 Please do not send anything but bug reports to this mailing list. | |
675 For more information about Emacs mailing lists, see the | |
676 file /usr/local/emacs/etc/MAILINGLISTS. | |
677 Bugs tend actually to be fixed if they can be isolated, so it is | |
678 in your interest to report them in such a way that they can be | |
679 easily reproduced. | |
