17 Most of the GNU Emacs text editor is written in the programming | |
18 language called Emacs Lisp. You can write new code in Emacs Lisp and | |
19 install it as an extension to the editor. However, Emacs Lisp is more | |
20 than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming | |
21 language in its own right. You can use it as you would any other | |
22 programming language. | |
23 | |
24 Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special | |
25 features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling | |
26 files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on. Emacs Lisp is | |
27 closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands | |
28 are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs, | |
29 and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables. | |

31 This manual describes Emacs Lisp. Generally speaking, the earlier | |
32 chapters describe features of Emacs Lisp that have counterparts in | |
33 many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that | |
34 are peculiar to Emacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing. | |
