;;; Commentary:

;; Description:
;;
;; This Emacs Lisp package provides a major mode for editing Metafont
;; or MetaPost sources.  It includes all the necessary code to set up
;; a major mode including an approriate syntax table, keymap, and a
;; mode-specific pull-down menu.  It also provides a sophisticated set
;; of font-lock patterns, a fancy indentation function adapted from
;; AUCTeX's latex.el, and some basic mode-specific editing functions
;; such as functions to move to the beginning or end of the enclosing
;; environment, or to mark, re-indent, or comment-out environments.
;; On the other hand, it doesn't yet provide any functionality for
;; running Metafont or MetaPost in a shell buffer form within Emacs,
;; but such functionality might be added later, either as part of this
;; package or as a separate Emacs Lisp package.

;; Installation:
;;
;; An interface to running Metafont or MetaPost as a shell process
;; from within Emacs is currently under development as a separate
;; Emacs Lisp package (meta-buf.el).  In order to have that package
;; loaded automatically when first entering Metafont or MetaPost mode,
;; you might use the load-hook provided in this package by adding
;; these lines to your startup file:
;;
;;  (add-hook 'meta-mode-load-hook
;;            (lambda () (require 'meta-buf)))
;;
;; The add-on package loaded this way may in turn make use of the
;; mode-hooks provided in this package to activate additional features
;; when entering Metafont or MetaPost mode.

;; Font Lock Support:
;;
;; If you are using global-font-lock-mode (introduced in Emacs 19.31),
;; fontification in Metafont and/or MetaPost mode will be activated
;; automatically.  To speed up fontification for the rather complex
;; patterns used in these modes, it may be a good idea to activate
;; lazy-lock as a font-lock-support-mode (introduced in Emacs 19.32)
;; by adding these lines to your startup file:
;;
;;  (global-font-lock-mode t)
;;  (setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode)
;;
;; If you are using an older version of Emacs, which doesn't provide
;; global-font-lock-mode or font-lock-support-mode, you can also
;; activate fontification in Metafont and/or MetaPost mode by adding
;; the following lines to your startup file:
;;
;;  (add-hook 'meta-common-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
;;  (add-hook 'meta-common-mode-hook 'turn-on-lazy-lock)

;; Customization:
;;
;; Following the usual Emacs Lisp coding conventions, the major modes
;; defined in this package provide several hook variables to allow for
;; local customization when entering the modes.  In particular, there
;; is a `meta-common-mode-hook' which applies to both modes as well as
;; `metafont-mode-hook' and `metapost-mode-hook' which apply to the
;; individual modes.  In addition, there are several variables and
;; regexps controlling e.g. the behavior of the indentation function,
;; which may be customized via `edit-options'.  Please refer to the
;; docstrings in the code below for details.

;; Availability:
;;
;; This package is currently available via my "TeX Software" WWW page:
;;
;;  http://www.thphy.uni-duesseldorf.de/~vieth/subjects/tex/software.html
;;
;; As of this version 1.0, this package will be uploaded to CTAN
;; archives, where it shall find a permanent home, presumably in
;; tex-archive/support/emacs-modes.  It will also be submitted for
;; integration into the GNU Emacs distribution at that time.
;;
;; History:
;;
;; v 0.0 -- 1997/02/01  UV  Started writing meta-mode.el.
;; v 0.1 -- 1997/02/02  UV  Added preliminary set of font-lock patterns.
;; v 0.2 -- 1997/02/03  UV  Improved and debugged font-lock patterns.
;;                          Added indent-line-function for TAB.
;; v 0.3 -- 1997/02/17  UV  Improved font-lock patterns and syntax table.
;;                          Improved and debbuged indentation function.
;; v 0.4 -- 1997/02/18  UV  Added functions to indent regions for M-C-q,
;;                          also added a preliminary mode-specific menu.
;; v 0.5 -- 1997/02/19  UV  Added functions to skip to next or previous
;;                          defun and to re-indent or comment-out defuns.
;; v 0.6 -- 1997/02/20  UV  More debugging, testing and clean-up.
;; v 0.7 -- 1997/02/22  UV  Use easymenu to define mode-specific menu.
;; v 0.8 -- 1997/02/24  UV  Added completion function for M-TAB.
;; v 0.9 -- 1997/03/08  UV  Added fill-paragraph function for comments.
;;                          Also fixed a few remaining font-lock problems.
;;                          Added meta-mode-load-hook to load meta-buf.el.
;; v 1.0 -- 1997/04/07  UV  Cleanup for official public release.
;;
;; Historical Footnote:
;;
;; This package was begun on February 1, 1997, exactly 20 years after
;; the genesis of TeX took place according to Don Knuth's own account
;; (cf.  ``The Errors of TeX'', reprinted in ``Literate Programming'',
;; Chapter 10, p. 249).  What better date could there be to choose?
