;;; Commentary:

;; This file provides a simple way to define powerful templates, or
;; macros, if you wish. It is mainly intended for, but not limited to,
;; other programmers to be used for creating shortcuts for editing
;; certain kind of documents. It was originally written to be used by
;; a HTML editing mode written by Nelson Minar <[e-mail]>,
;; and his html-helper-mode.el is probably the best example of how to
;; use this program.

;; A template is defined as a list of items to be inserted in the
;; current buffer at point. Some of the items can be simple strings,
;; while other can control formatting or define special points of
;; interest in the inserted text.

;; If a template defines a "point of interest" that point is inserted
;; in a buffer-local list of "points of interest" that the user can
;; jump between with the commands `tempo-backward-mark' and
;; `tempo-forward-mark'. If the template definer provides a prompt for
;; the point, and the variable `tempo-interactive' is non-nil, the
;; user will be prompted for a string to be inserted in the buffer,
;; using the minibuffer.

;; The template can also define one point to be replaced with the
;; current region if the template command is called with a prefix (or
;; a non-nil argument).

;; More flexible templates can be created by including lisp symbols,
;; which will be evaluated as variables, or lists, which will be
;; evaluated as lisp expressions.

;; See the documentation for tempo-define-template for the different
;; items that can be used to define a tempo template.

;; One of the more powerful features of tempo templates are automatic
;; completion. With every template can be assigned a special tag that
;; should be recognized by `tempo-complete-tag' and expanded to the
;; complete template. By default the tags are added to a global list
;; of template tags, and are matched against the last word before
;; point. But if you assign your tags to a specific list, you can also
;; specify another method for matching text in the buffer against the
;; tags. In the HTML mode, for instance, the tags are matched against
;; the text between the last `<' and point.

;; When defining a template named `foo', a symbol named
;; `tempo-template-foo' will be created whose value as a variable will
;; be the template definition, and its function value will be an
;; interactive function that inserts the template at the point.

;; The latest tempo.el distribution can be fetched from
;; ftp.lysator.liu.se in the directory /pub/emacs

;; There is also a WWW page at
;; http://www.lysator.liu.se/~davidk/elisp/ which has some information

;;; Known bugs:

;; If the 'o is the first element in a template, strange things can
;; happen when the template is inserted at the beginning of a
;; line. This is due to strange behavior in open-line. But it should
;; be easily avoided.

;; The 'o tag is also a problem when including the region. This will
;; be looked into.

;; Clicking mouse-2 in the completion buffer gives strange results.

;; There is a bug in some emacs versions that prevents completion from
;; working. If it doesn't work for you, send me a note indicating your
;; emacs version and your problems.

;;; Contributors:

;; These people have given me important feedback and new ideas for
;; tempo.el. Thanks.

(defun tempo-define-template (name elements &optional tag documentation taglist)
  "Define a template.
This function creates a template variable `tempo-template-NAME' and an
interactive function `tempo-template-NAME' that inserts the template
at the point.  The created function is returned.

NAME is a string that contains the name of the template, ELEMENTS is a
list of elements in the template, TAG is the tag used for completion,
DOCUMENTATION is the documentation string for the insertion command
created, and TAGLIST (a symbol) is the tag list that TAG (if provided)
should be added to.  If TAGLIST is nil and TAG is non-nil, TAG is
added to `tempo-tags'.

The elements in ELEMENTS can be of several types:

 - A string: It is sent to the hooks in `tempo-insert-string-functions',
   and the result is inserted.
 - The symbol `p': This position is saved in `tempo-marks'.
 - The symbol `r': If `tempo-insert' is called with ON-REGION non-nil
   the current region is placed here.  Otherwise it works like `p'.
 - (p PROMPT <NAME> <NOINSERT>): If `tempo-interactive' is non-nil, the
   user is prompted in the minibuffer with PROMPT for a string to be
   inserted.  If the optional parameter NAME is non-nil, the text is
   saved for later insertion with the `s' tag.  If there already is
   something saved under NAME that value is used instead and no
   prompting is made.  If NOINSERT is provided and non-nil, nothing is
   inserted, but text is still saved when a NAME is provided.  For
   clarity, the symbol `noinsert' should be used as argument.
 - (P PROMPT <NAME> <NOINSERT>): Works just like the previous tag, but
   forces `tempo-interactive' to be true.
 - (r PROMPT <NAME> <NOINSERT>): Like the previous tag, but if
   `tempo-interactive' is nil and `tempo-insert' is called with
   ON-REGION non-nil, the current region is placed here.  This usually
   happens when you call the template function with a prefix argument.
 - (s NAME): Inserts text previously read with the (p ..) construct.
   Finds the insertion saved under NAME and inserts it.  Acts like `p'
   if tempo-interactive is nil.
 - `&': If there is only whitespace between the line start and point,
   nothing happens.  Otherwise a newline is inserted.
 - `%': If there is only whitespace between point and end of line,
   nothing happens.  Otherwise a newline is inserted.
 - `n': Inserts a newline.
 - `>': The line is indented using `indent-according-to-mode'.  Note
   that you often should place this item after the text you want on
   the line.
 - `r>': Like `r', but it also indents the region.
 - (r> PROMPT <NAME> <NOINSERT>): Like (r ...), but is also indents
   the region.
 - `n>': Inserts a newline and indents line.
 - `o': Like `%' but leaves the point before the newline.
 - nil: It is ignored.
 - Anything else: It is evaluated and the result is treated as an
   element to be inserted.  One additional tag is useful for these
   cases.  If an expression returns a list '(l foo bar), the elements
   after `l' will be inserted according to the usual rules.  This makes
   it possible to return several elements from one expression."

  "Look for a tag and expand it.
All the tags in the tag lists in `tempo-local-tags'
\(this includes `tempo-tags') are searched for a match for the text
before the point.  The way the string to match for is determined can
be altered with the variable `tempo-match-finder'.  If
`tempo-match-finder' returns nil, then the results are the same as
no match at all.

If a single match is found, the corresponding template is expanded in
place of the matching string.

If a partial completion or no match at all is found, and SILENT is
non-nil, the function will give a signal.

If a partial completion is found and `tempo-show-completion-buffer' is
non-nil, a buffer containing possible completions is displayed."
