28 ;; INTRODUCTION:
29 ;;
30 ;; The macro `define-generic-mode' can be used to define small modes
31 ;; which provide basic comment and font-lock support. These modes are
32 ;; intended for the many configuration files and such which are too
33 ;; small for a "real" mode, but still have a regular syntax, comment
34 ;; characters and the like.
35 ;;
36 ;; Each generic mode can define the following:
37 ;;
38 ;; * List of comment-characters. The entries in this list should be
39 ;; either a character, a one or two character string or a cons pair.
40 ;; If the entry is a character or a string, it is added to the
41 ;; mode's syntax table with `comment-start' syntax. If the entry is
42 ;; a cons pair, the elements of the pair are considered to be
43 ;; `comment-start' and `comment-end' respectively. (The latter
44 ;; should be nil if you want comments to end at end of line.)
45 ;; LIMITATIONS: Emacs does not support comment strings of more than
46 ;; two characters in length.
47 ;;
48 ;; * List of keywords to font-lock. Each keyword should be a string.
49 ;; If you have additional keywords which should be highlighted in a
50 ;; face different from `font-lock-keyword-face', you can use the
51 ;; convenience function `generic-make-keywords-list' (which see),
52 ;; and add the result to the following list:
53 ;;
54 ;; * Additional expressions to font-lock. This should be a list of
55 ;; expressions, each of which should be of the same form as those in
56 ;; `font-lock-keywords'.
57 ;;
58 ;; * List of regular expressions to be placed in auto-mode-alist.
59 ;;
60 ;; * List of functions to call to do some additional setup
61 ;;
62 ;; This should pretty much cover basic functionality; if you need much
63 ;; more than this, or you find yourself writing extensive customizations,
64 ;; perhaps you should be writing a major mode instead!
65 ;;
66 ;; EXAMPLE:
67 ;;
68 ;; You can use `define-generic-mode' like this:
69 ;;
70 ;; (define-generic-mode 'foo-generic-mode
71 ;; (list ?%)
72 ;; (list "keyword")
73 ;; nil
74 ;; (list "\\.FOO\\'")
75 ;; (list 'foo-setup-function))
76 ;;
77 ;; to define a new generic-mode `foo-generic-mode', which has '%' as a
78 ;; comment character, and "keyword" as a keyword. When files which
79 ;; end in '.FOO' are loaded, Emacs will go into foo-generic-mode and
80 ;; call foo-setup-function. You can also use the function
81 ;; `foo-generic-mode' (which is interactive) to put a buffer into
82 ;; foo-generic-mode.
83 ;;
84 ;; GOTCHAS:
85 ;;
86 ;; Be careful that your font-lock definitions are correct. Getting
87 ;; them wrong can cause Emacs to continually attempt to fontify! This
88 ;; problem is not specific to generic-mode.

123
124 MODE is the name of the command for the generic mode; it need not
125 be quoted. The optional DOCSTRING is the documentation for the
126 mode command. If you do not supply it, a default documentation
127 string will be used instead.
128
129 COMMENT-LIST is a list, whose entries are either a single
130 character, a one or two character string or a cons pair. If the
131 entry is a character or a string, it is added to the mode's
132 syntax table with `comment-start' syntax. If the entry is a cons
133 pair, the elements of the pair are considered to be
134 `comment-start' and `comment-end' respectively. (The latter
135 should be nil if you want comments to end at end of line.) Note
136 that Emacs has limitations regarding comment characters.
137
138 KEYWORD-LIST is a list of keywords to highlight with
139 `font-lock-keyword-face'. Each keyword should be a string.
140
141 FONT-LOCK-LIST is a list of additional expressions to highlight.
142 Each entry in the list should have the same form as an entry in
143 `font-lock-keywords'.
144
145 AUTO-MODE-LIST is a list of regular expressions to add to
146 `auto-mode-alist'. These regexps are added to `auto-mode-alist'
147 as soon as `define-generic-mode' is called.
148
149 FUNCTION-LIST is a list of functions to call to do some
150 additional setup.
151
152 The optional CUSTOM-KEYWORD-ARGS are pairs of keywords and
153 values. They will be passed to the generated `defcustom' form of
154 the mode hook variable MODE-hook. Defaults to MODE without the
155 possible trailing \"-mode\". (This default may not be a valid
156 customization group defined with `defgroup'. Make sure it is.)
157 You can specify keyword arguments without specifying a docstring.
