;;; Commentary:

;; Allout outline mode provides extensive outline formatting and
;; and manipulation beyond standard emacs outline mode.  It provides
;; for structured editing of outlines, as well as navigation and
;; exposure.  It also provides for syntax-sensitive text like
;; programming languages.  (For an example, see the allout code
;; itself, which is organized in ;; an outline framework.)
;;
;; Some features:
;;
;;  - classic outline-mode topic-oriented navigation and exposure adjustment
;;  - topic-oriented editing including coherent topic and subtopic
;;    creation, promotion, demotion, cut/paste across depths, etc
;;  - incremental search with dynamic exposure and reconcealment of text
;;  - customizable bullet format enbles programming-language specific
;;    outlining, for ultimate code-folding editing.  (allout code itself is
;;    formatted as an outline - do ESC-x eval-current-buffer in allout.el
;;    to try it out.)
;;  - configurable per-file initial exposure settings
;;  - symmetric-key and key-pair topic encryption, plus reliable key
;;    verification and user-supplied hint maintenance.  (see
;;    allout-toggle-current-subtree-encryption docstring.)
;;  - automatic topic-number maintenance
;;  - "hot-spot" operation, for single-keystroke maneuvering and
;;    exposure control (see the allout-mode docstring)
;;  - easy rendering of exposed portions into numbered, latex, indented, etc
;;    outline styles
;;
;; and more.
;;
;; The outline menubar additions provide quick reference to many of
;; the features, and see the docstring of the variable `allout-init'
;; for instructions on priming your emacs session for automatic
;; activation of allout-mode.
;;
;; See the docstring of the variables `allout-layout' and
;; `allout-auto-activation' for details on automatic activation of
;; `allout-mode' as a minor mode.  (It has changed since allout
;; 3.x, for those of you that depend on the old method.)
;;
;; Note - the lines beginning with `;;;_' are outline topic headers.
;;        Just `ESC-x eval-current-buffer' to give it a whirl.

activated when the file is visited, followed by the equivalent of
`\(allout-expose-topic 0 : -1 -1 0)'.  \(This is the layout used for
the allout.el, itself.)

Also, allout's mode-specific provisions will make topic prefixes default
to the comment-start string, if any, of the language of the file.  This

The idea is to prevent file-system exposure of any un-encrypted stuff, and

 - Yes: encrypt all topics pending encryption, even if it's the one
        currently being edited.  \(In that case, the currently edited topic
        will be automatically decrypted before any user interaction, so they
        can continue editing but the copy on the file system will be
        encrypted.)
        Auto-saves will use the \"All except current topic\" mode if this
        one is selected, to avoid practical difficulties - see below.
 - All except current topic: skip the topic currently being edited, even if
       it's pending encryption.  This may expose the current topic on the
       file sytem, but avoids the nuisance of prompts for the encryption
       key in the middle of editing for, eg, autosaves.

 - No: leave it to the user to encrypt any unencrypted topics.

MODE is one of the following symbols:

  "Toggle minor mode for controlling exposure and editing of text outlines.

Optional arg forces mode to re-initialize iff arg is positive num or
symbol.  Allout outline mode always runs as a minor mode.

Allout outline mode provides extensive outline oriented formatting and
manipulation.  It enables structural editing of outlines, as well as
navigation and exposure.  It also is specifically aimed at
accommodating syntax-sensitive text like programming languages.  \(For
an example, see the allout code itself, which is organized as an allout
outline.)

In addition to outline navigation and exposure, allout includes:

 - topic-oriented repositioning, promotion/demotion, cut, and paste
 - integral outline exposure-layout
 - incremental search with dynamic exposure and reconcealment of hidden text
 - automatic topic-number maintenance
 - easy topic encryption and decryption
 - \"Hot-spot\" operation, for single-keystroke maneuvering and
    exposure control.  \(See the allout-mode docstring.)

and many other features.

Below is a description of the bindings, and then explanation of
special `allout-mode' features and terminology.  See also the outline
menubar additions for quick reference to many of the features, and see
the docstring of the function `allout-init' for instructions on
priming your emacs session for automatic activation of `allout-mode'.


The bindings are dictated by the `allout-keybindings-list' and
`allout-command-prefix' variables.

                  Encrypted Entries

Outline mode supports easily togglable gpg encryption of topics, with
niceities like support for symmetric and key-pair modes, key timeout, key
consistency checking, user-provided hinting for symmetric key mode, and
auto-encryption of topics pending encryption on save.  The aim is to enable
reliable topic privacy while preventing accidents like neglected
encryption, encryption with a mistaken key, forgetting which key was used,
and other practical pitfalls.

See the `allout-toggle-current-subtree-encryption' function and
`allout-encrypt-unencrypted-on-saves' customization variable for details.

		 HOT-SPOT Operation

Hot-spot operation provides a means for easy, single-keystroke outline
navigation and exposure control.

\\<allout-mode-map>
When the text cursor is positioned directly on the bullet character of
a topic, regular characters (a to z) invoke the commands of the
corresponding allout-mode keymap control chars.  For example, \"f\"
would invoke the command typically bound to \"C-c C-f\"
\(\\[allout-forward-current-level] `allout-forward-current-level').

Thus, by positioning the cursor on a topic bullet, you can execute
the outline navigation and manipulation commands with a single
keystroke.  Non-literal chars never get this special translation, so
you can use them to get away from the hot-spot, and back to normal
operation.

Note that the command `allout-beginning-of-current-entry' \(\\[allout-beginning-of-current-entry]\)
will move to the hot-spot when the cursor is already located at the
beginning of the current entry, so you can simply hit \\[allout-beginning-of-current-entry]
twice in a row to get to the hot-spot.

			    Terminology

Topic hierarchy constituents - TOPICS and SUBTOPICS:

TOPIC:	A basic, coherent component of an Emacs outline.  It can
	contain other topics, and it can be subsumed by other topics,
CURRENT topic:
	The visible topic most immediately containing the cursor.
DEPTH:	The degree of nesting of a topic; it increases with
	containment.  Also called the:
LEVEL:	The same as DEPTH.

ANCESTORS:
	The topics that contain a topic.
PARENT:	A topic's immediate ancestor.  It has a depth one less than
	the topic.
OFFSPRING:
	The topics contained by a topic;
SUBTOPIC:
	An immediate offspring of a topic;
CHILDREN:
	The immediate offspring of a topic.
SIBLINGS:
	Topics having the same parent and depth.

Topic text constituents:

HEADER:	The first line of a topic, include the topic PREFIX and header
	text.
PREFIX: The leading text of a topic which distinguishes it from normal
        text.  It has a strict form, which consists of a prefix-lead
        string, padding, and a bullet.  The bullet may be followed by a
        number, indicating the ordinal number of the topic among its
        siblings, a space, and then the header text.

	The relative length of the PREFIX determines the nesting depth
	of the topic.
PREFIX-LEAD:
	The string at the beginning of a topic prefix, normally a `.'.
	It can be customized by changing the setting of
	`allout-header-prefix' and then reinitializing `allout-mode'.

	By setting the prefix-lead to the comment-string of a
	programming language, you can embed outline structuring in
	program code without interfering with the language processing
	of that code.  See `allout-use-mode-specific-leader'
	docstring for more detail.
PREFIX-PADDING:
	Spaces or asterisks which separate the prefix-lead and the
	bullet, according to the depth of the topic.
BULLET: A character at the end of the topic prefix, it must be one of
	the characters listed on `allout-plain-bullets-string' or
        `allout-distinctive-bullets-string'.  (See the documentation
        for these variables for more details.)  The default choice of
	bullet when generating varies in a cycle with the depth of the
	topic.
ENTRY:	The text contained in a topic before any offspring.
BODY:	Same as ENTRY.


EXPOSURE:
 	The state of a topic which determines the on-screen visibility
	of its offspring and contained text.
CONCEALED:
	Topics and entry text whose display is inhibited.  Contiguous
	units of concealed text is represented by `...' ellipses.
	(Ref the `selective-display' var.)

	Concealed topics are effectively collapsed within an ancestor.
CLOSED:	A topic whose immediate offspring and body-text is concealed.
OPEN:	A topic that is not closed, though its offspring or body may be."

  "Generate a topic prefix suitable for optional arg DEPTH, or current depth.

All the arguments are optional.

PRIOR-BULLET indicates the bullet of the prefix being changed, or
nil if none.  This bullet may be preserved (other options
notwithstanding) if it is on the `allout-distinctive-bullets-string',
for instance.

Second arg NEW indicates that a new topic is being opened after the
topic at point, if non-nil.  Default bullet for new topics, eg, may
be set (contingent to other args) to numbered bullets if previous
sibling is one.  The implication otherwise is that the current topic
is being adjusted - shifted or rebulleted - and we don't consider
bullet or previous sibling.

Third arg DEPTH forces the topic prefix to that depth, regardless of
the current topics' depth.

If SOLICIT is non-nil, then the choice of bullet is solicited from
user.  If it's a character, then that character is offered as the
default, otherwise the one suited to the context \(according to
distinction or depth) is offered.  \(This overrides other options,
including, eg, a distinctive PRIOR-BULLET.)  If non-nil, then the
context-specific bullet is used.

Fifth arg, NUMBER-CONTROL, matters only if `allout-numbered-bullet'
is non-nil *and* soliciting was not explicitly invoked.  Then
NUMBER-CONTROL non-nil forces prefix to either numbered or
denumbered format, depending on the value of the sixth arg, INDEX.

\(Note that NUMBER-CONTROL does *not* apply to level 1 topics.  Sorry...)

If NUMBER-CONTROL is non-nil and sixth arg INDEX is non-nil then
the prefix of the topic is forced to be numbered.  Non-nil
NUMBER-CONTROL and nil INDEX forces non-numbered format on the
bullet.  Non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL and non-nil, non-number INDEX means
that the index for the numbered prefix will be derived, by counting
siblings back to start of level.  If INDEX is a number, then that
number is used as the index for the numbered prefix (allowing, eg,
sequential renumbering to not require this function counting back the
index for each successive sibling)."
;;;_    . Code:
  ;; The options are ordered in likely frequence of use, most common
  ;; highest, least lowest.  Ie, more likely to be doing prefix
  ;; adjustments than soliciting, and yet more than numbering.
  ;; Current prefix is least dominant, but most likely to be commonly
  ;; specified...

  "Open a new topic at depth DEPTH.

New topic is situated after current one, unless optional flag BEFORE
is non-nil, or unless current line is complete empty (not even
whitespace), in which case open is done on current line.

If USE_RECENT_BULLET is true, offer to use the bullet of the prior sibling.

Nuances:

- Creation of new topics is with respect to the visible topic
  containing the cursor, regardless of intervening concealed ones.

- New headers are generally created after/before the body of a
  topic.  However, they are created right at cursor location if the
  cursor is on a blank line, even if that breaks the current topic
  body.  This is intentional, to provide a simple means for
  deliberately dividing topic bodies.

- Double spacing of topic lists is preserved.  Also, the first
  level two topic is created double-spaced (and so would be
  subsequent siblings, if that's left intact).  Otherwise,
  single-spacing is used.

- Creation of sibling or nested topics is with respect to the topic
  you're starting from, even when creating backwards.  This way you
  can easily create a sibling in front of the current topic without
  having to go to its preceding sibling, and then open forward
  from there."

  "Adjust bullet of current topic prefix.

All args are optional.

If SOLICIT is non-nil, then the choice of bullet is solicited from
user.  If it's a character, then that character is offered as the
default, otherwise the one suited to the context \(according to
distinction or depth) is offered.  If non-nil, then the
context-specific bullet is just used.

Second arg DEPTH forces the topic prefix to that depth, regardless
of the topic's current depth.

Third arg NUMBER-CONTROL can force the prefix to or away from
numbered form.  It has effect only if `allout-numbered-bullet' is
non-nil and soliciting was not explicitly invoked (via first arg).
Its effect, numbering or denumbering, then depends on the setting
of the forth arg, INDEX.

If NUMBER-CONTROL is non-nil and forth arg INDEX is nil, then the
prefix of the topic is forced to be non-numbered.  Null index and
non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL forces denumbering.  Non-nil INDEX (and
non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL) forces a numbered-prefix form.  If non-nil
INDEX is a number, then that number is used for the numbered
prefix.  Non-nil and non-number means that the index for the
numbered prefix will be derived by allout-make-topic-prefix.

Fifth arg DO-SUCCESSORS t means re-resolve count on succeeding
siblings.

Cf vars `allout-stylish-prefixes', `allout-old-style-prefixes',
and `allout-numbered-bullet', which all affect the behavior of
this function."

  "Incidental outline-specific business to be done just after text yanks.

Does depth adjustment of yanked topics, when:

1 the stuff being yanked starts with a valid outline header prefix, and
2 it is being yanked at the end of a line which consists of only a valid
     topic prefix.

Also, adjusts numbering of subsequent siblings when appropriate.

Depth adjustment alters the depth of all the topics being yanked
the amount it takes to make the first topic have the depth of the
header into which it's being yanked.

The point is left in front of yanked, adjusted topics, rather than
at the end (and vice-versa with the mark).  Non-adjusted yanks,

Non-topic yanks work no differently than normal yanks.

If a topic is being yanked into a bare topic prefix, the depth of the
yanked topic is adjusted to the depth of the topic prefix.

  1 we're yanking in an `allout-mode' buffer
  2 the stuff being yanked starts with a valid outline header prefix, and
  3 it is being yanked at the end of a line which consists of only a valid

The point is left in front of yanked, adjusted topics, rather than
at the end (and vice-versa with the mark).  Non-adjusted yanks,
however, (ones that don't qualify for adjustment) are handled

  "Apply exposure specs to successive outline topic items.

Use the more convenient frontend, `allout-new-exposure', if you don't
need evaluation of the arguments, or even better, the `allout-layout'
variable-keyed mode-activation/auto-exposure feature of allout outline
mode.  See the respective documentation strings for more details.

Cursor is left at start position.

SPEC is either a number or a list.

Successive specs on a list are applied to successive sibling topics.

A simple spec \(either a number, one of a few symbols, or the null
list) dictates the exposure for the corresponding topic.

Non-null lists recursively designate exposure specs for respective
subtopics of the current topic.

The `:' repeat spec is used to specify exposure for any number of
successive siblings, up to the trailing ones for which there are
explicit specs following the `:'.

Simple (numeric and null-list) specs are interpreted as follows:

 Numbers indicate the relative depth to open the corresponding topic.
     - negative numbers force the topic to be closed before opening to the
       absolute value of the number, so all siblings are open only to
       that level.
     - positive numbers open to the relative depth indicated by the
       number, but do not force already opened subtopics to be closed.
     - 0 means to close topic - hide all offspring.
  :  - `repeat'
       apply prior element to all siblings at current level, *up to*
       those siblings that would be covered by specs following the `:'
       on the list.  Ie, apply to all topics at level but the last
       ones.  \(Only first of multiple colons at same level is
       respected - subsequent ones are discarded.)
  *  - completely opens the topic, including bodies.
  +  - shows all the sub headers, but not the bodies
  -  - exposes the body of the corresponding topic.

Examples:
\(allout-expose-topic '(-1 : 0))
	Close this and all following topics at current level, exposing
	only their immediate children, but close down the last topic
	at this current level completely.
\(allout-expose-topic '(-1 () : 1 0))
	Close current topic so only the immediate subtopics are shown;
	show the children in the second to last topic, and completely
	close the last one.
\(allout-expose-topic '(-2 : -1 *))
        Expose children and grandchildren of all topics at current
	level except the last two; expose children of the second to
	last and completely open the last one."

  "Deprecated.  Use `allout-expose-topic' \(with different schema
format) instead.

Dictate wholesale exposure scheme for current topic, according to SPEC.

SPEC is either a number or a list.  Optional successive args
dictate exposure for subsequent siblings of current topic.

A simple spec (either a number, a special symbol, or the null list)
dictates the overall exposure for a topic.  Non null lists are
composite specs whose first element dictates the overall exposure for
a topic, with the subsequent elements in the list interpreted as specs
that dictate the exposure for the successive offspring of the topic.

Simple (numeric and null-list) specs are interpreted as follows:

 - Numbers indicate the relative depth to open the corresponding topic:
  - negative numbers force the topic to be close before opening to the
    absolute value of the number.
  - positive numbers just open to the relative depth indicated by the number.
  - 0 just closes
 - `*' completely opens the topic, including bodies.
 - `+' shows all the sub headers, but not the bodies
 - `-' exposes the body and immediate offspring of the corresponding topic.

If the spec is a list, the first element must be a number, which
dictates the exposure depth of the topic as a whole.  Subsequent
elements of the list are nested SPECs, dictating the specific exposure
for the corresponding offspring of the topic.

Optional FOLLOWERS arguments dictate exposure for succeeding siblings."

  "Encrypt clear text or decrypt encoded contents of a topic.

Contents includes body and subtopics.

Currently only GnuPG encryption is supported.

\**NOTE WELL** that the encrypted text must be ascii-armored.  For gnupg
encryption, include the option ``armor'' in your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file.

Both symmetric-key and key-pair encryption is implemented.  Symmetric is
the default, use a single \(x4) universal argument for keypair mode.

Encrypted topic's bullet is set to a `~' to signal that the contents of the
topic \(body and subtopics, but not heading) is pending encryption or
encrypted.  An `*' asterisk immediately after the bullet signals that the
body is encrypted, its absence means it's meant to be encrypted but is not
- it's \"disclosed\".  When a file with disclosed topics is saved, the user
prompted for an ok to \(symmetric-key) encrypt the disclosed topics.  NOTE
WELL that you must explicitly \(re)encrypt key-pair encrypted topics if you
want them to continue to be in key-pair mode.

Level-1 topics, with prefix consisting solely of an `*' asterisk, cannot be
encrypted.  If you want to encrypt the contents of a top-level topic, use
\\[allout-shift-in] to increase its depth.

Failed transformation does not change the an entry being encrypted -
instead, the key is re-solicited and the transformation is retried.
\\[keyboard-quit] to abort.

Decryption does symmetric or key-pair key mode depending on how the text
was encrypted.  The encryption key is solicited if not currently available
from the key cache from a recent prior encryption action.

Optional FETCH-KEY universal argument is used for two purposes - to provoke
key-pair instead of symmetric encryption, or to provoke clearing of the key
cache so keys are freshly fetched.

 - Without any universal arguments, then the appropriate key for the is
   obtained from the cache, if available, else from the user.

 - If FETCH-KEY is the result of one universal argument - ie, equal to 4 -
   then key-pair encryption is used.

 - With repeated universal argument - equal to 16 - then the key cache is
   cleared before any encryption transformations, to force prompting of the
   user for the key.

The solicited key is retained for reuse in a buffer-specific cache for some
set period of time \(default, 60 seconds), after which the string is
nulled.  `mailcrypt' provides the key caching functionality.  You can
adjust the key cache timeout by ajdusting the setting of the elisp variable
`mc-passwd-timeout'.

If the file previously had no associated key, or had a different key than
specified, the user is prompted to repeat the new one for corroboration.  A
random string encrypted by the new key is set on the buffer-specific
variable `allout-key-verifier-string', for confirmation of the key when
next obtained, before encrypting or decrypting anything with it.  This
helps avoid mistakenly shifting between keys.

If allout customization var `allout-key-verifier-handling' is non-nil, an
entry for `allout-key-verifier-string' and its value is added to an Emacs
'local variables' section at the end of the file, which is created if
necessary.  That setting is for retention of the key verifier across emacs
sessions.

Similarly, `allout-key-hint-string' stores a user-provided reminder about
their key, and `allout-key-hint-handling' specifies when the hint is
presented, or if key hints are disabled.  If enabled \(see the
`allout-key-hint-handling' docstring for details), the hint string is
stored in the local-variables section of the file, and solicited whenever
the key is changed."
