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
428944160c8a Move here from ../../lispref

parents:

20 than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming

24 Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special

parents:

25 features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling

parents:

26 files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on. Emacs Lisp is
428944160c8a Move here from ../../lispref
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
27 closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
428944160c8a Move here from ../../lispref

28 are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
428944160c8a Move here from ../../lispref
