31 Most of the GNU Emacs text editor is written in the programming
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
32 language called Emacs Lisp. You can write new code in Emacs Lisp and
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
33 install it as an extension to the editor. However, Emacs Lisp is more
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
34 than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
35 language in its own right. You can use it as you would any other
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
36 programming language.
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:

37
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:

38 Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
39 features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
40 files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on. Emacs Lisp is
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
41 closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
42 are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
43 and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables.

45 This manual describes Emacs Lisp. Generally speaking, the earlier
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
46 chapters describe features of Emacs Lisp that have counterparts in
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
47 many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
48 are peculiar to Emacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.
