;;; Commentary:

;; INTRODUCTION:
;;
;; The macro `define-generic-mode' can be used to define small modes
;; which provide basic comment and font-lock support.  These modes are
;; intended for the many configuration files and such which are too
;; small for a "real" mode, but still have a regular syntax, comment
;; characters and the like.
;;
;; Each generic mode can define the following:
;;
;; * List of comment-characters.  The elements of this list should be
;;   either a character, a one or two character string, or a cons
;;   cell.  If the entry is a character or a string, it is added to
;;   the mode's syntax table with "comment starter" syntax.  If the
;;   entry is a cons cell, the `car' and `cdr' of the pair are
;;   considered the "comment starter" and "comment ender"
;;   respectively.  (The latter should be nil if you want comments to
;;   end at the end of the line.)  Emacs does not support comment
;;   strings of more than two characters in length.
;;
;; * List of keywords to font-lock.  Each keyword should be a string.
;;   If you have additional keywords which should be highlighted in a
;;   face different from `font-lock-keyword-face', you can use the
;;   convenience function `generic-make-keywords-list' (which see),
;;   and add the result to the following list:
;;
;; * Additional expressions to font-lock.  This should be a list of
;;   expressions, each of which should be of the same form as those in
;;   `font-lock-keywords'.
;;
;; * List of regular expressions to be placed in auto-mode-alist.
;;
;; * List of functions to call to do some additional setup
;;
;; This should pretty much cover basic functionality; if you need much
;; more than this, or you find yourself writing extensive customizations,
;; perhaps you should be writing a major mode instead!
;;
;; EXAMPLE:
;;
;; You can use `define-generic-mode' like this:
;;
;;   (define-generic-mode 'foo-generic-mode
;;     (list ?%)
;;     (list "keyword")
;;     nil
;;     (list "\\.FOO\\'")
;;     (list 'foo-setup-function))
;;
;; to define a new generic-mode `foo-generic-mode', which has '%' as a
;; comment character, and "keyword" as a keyword.  When files which
;; end in '.FOO' are loaded, Emacs will go into foo-generic-mode and
;; call foo-setup-function.  You can also use the function
;; `foo-generic-mode' (which is interactive) to put a buffer into
;; foo-generic-mode.
;;
;; GOTCHAS:
;;
;; Be careful that your font-lock definitions are correct.  Getting
;; them wrong can cause Emacs to continually attempt to fontify! This
;; problem is not specific to generic-mode.

MODE is the name of the command for the generic mode; don't quote it.
The optional DOCSTRING is the documentation for the mode command.  If
you do not supply it, `define-generic-mode' uses a default
documentation string instead.

COMMENT-LIST is a list in which each element is either a character, a
string of one or two characters, or a cons cell.  A character or a
string is set up in the mode's syntax table as a \"comment starter\".
If the entry is a cons cell, the `car' is set up as a \"comment
starter\" and the `cdr' as a \"comment ender\".  (Use nil for the
latter if you want comments to end at the end of the line.)  Note that
the syntax table has limitations about what comment starters and
enders are actually possible.

KEYWORD-LIST is a list of keywords to highlight with
`font-lock-keyword-face'.  Each keyword should be a string.

FONT-LOCK-LIST is a list of additional expressions to highlight.  Each
element of this list should have the same form as an element of
`font-lock-keywords'.

AUTO-MODE-LIST is a list of regular expressions to add to
`auto-mode-alist'.  These regular expressions are added when Emacs
runs the macro expansion.

FUNCTION-LIST is a list of functions to call to do some additional
setup.  The mode command calls these functions just before it runs the
mode hook `MODE-hook'.

See the file generic-x.el for some examples of `define-generic-mode'."
