(allout-regexp, allout-line-boundary-regexp)
(allout-bob-regexp): Correct grouping and boundaries to fix backwards traversal.
(allout-depth-specific-regexp, allout-depth-one-regexp): New versions that
exploit \\{M\\} regexp syntax, to avoid geometric or worse time in
allout-ascend.
(allout-doublecheck-at-and-shallower): Identify depth threshold below which
topics are checked for and disqualified by containment discontinuities.
(allout-hotspot-key-handler): Correctly handle multiple-key strokes. Remove
some unused variables.
(allout-mode-leaders): Clarify that mode-specific comment-start will be used
(set-allout-regexp): Correctly regexp-quote allout regexps to properly accept
alternative header-leads and primary bullets with regexp-specific characters
(eg, C "/*", mathematica "(*").
Include new regular expressions among those configured.
(allout-infer-header-lead-and-primary-bullet): Rename allout-infer-header-lead.
(allout-recent-depth): Manifest as a variable as well as a function.
(allout-prefix-data): Simplify into an inline instead of a macro, assuming
current match data rather than being explicitly passed it. Establish
allout-recent-depth value as well as allout-recent-prefix-beginning and
allout-recent-prefix-end.
(allout-aberrant-container-p): True when an item's immediate offspring
discontinuously contained. Useful for disqualifying unintended topic prefixes,
likely at low depths.
(allout-goto-prefix-doublechecked): Elaborated version of allout-goto-prefix
which disqualifies aberrant pseudo-items.
(allout-pre-next-prefix): Layer on top of lower-level routines, to get
disqualification of aberrant containers.
(allout-end-of-prefix, allout-end-of-subtree): Disqualify aberrant containers.
(allout-beginning-of-current-entry): Position at start of buffer when in
container (depth 0) entry.
(nullify-allout-prefix-data): Invalidate allout-recent-* prefix data.
(allout-current-bullet): Strip text properties.
(allout-get-prefix-bullet): Use right match groups.
(allout-beginning-of-line, allout-next-heading): Disqualify aberrant containers.
(allout-previous-heading): Disqualify aberrant containers, and change to
regular (rather than inline) function, to allow self-recursion.
(allout-get-invisibility-overlay): Increment so progress is made when the first
overlay is not the sought one.
(allout-end-of-prefix): Disqualify aberrant containers.
(allout-end-of-line): Cycle something like allout-beginning-of-line.
(allout-mode): Make allout-old-style-prefixes (ie, enabling use with outline.el
outlines) functional again. Change the primary bullet along with the
header-lead - level 1 new-style bullets now work.
Engage allout-before-change-handler in mainline emacs, not just xemacs, to do
undo handling.
(allout-before-change-handler): Expose undo changes occurring in hidden
regions. Use allout-get-invisibility-overlay instead of reimplementing it
inline.
(allout-chart-subtree): Use start rather than end of prefix in charts. Use
allout-recent-depth variable.
(allout-chart-siblings): Disqualify aberrant topics.
(allout-beginning-of-current-entry): Position correctly.
(allout-ascend): Use new allout-depth-specific-regexp and
allout-depth-one-regexp for linear instead of O(N^2) or worse behavior.
(allout-ascend-to-depth): Depend on allout-ascend, rather than reimplementing
an algorithm.
(allout-up-current-level): Depend on allout-ascend, rather than reimplementing
an algorithm. Return to start-point if we fail.
(allout-descend-to-depth): Use allout-recent-depth variable instead of function.
(allout-next-sibling): On traversal of numerous intervening topics, resort to
economical allout-next-sibling-leap.
(allout-next-sibling-leap): Specialized version of allout-next-sibling that
uses allout-ascend cleverly, to depend on a regexp search to leap large numbers
of contained topics, rather than arbitrarily many one-by-one traversals.
(allout-next-visible-heading): Disqualify aberrant topics.
(allout-previous-visible-heading): Position consistently when interactive.
(allout-forward-current-level): Base on allout-previous-sibling rather than
(differently) reimplmenting the algorithm. Remove some unused variables.
(allout-solicit-alternate-bullet): Present default choice stripped of text
properties.
(allout-rebullet-heading): Use bullet stripped of text properties.
Register changes using allout-exposure-change-hook. Disregard aberrant topics.
(allout-shift-in): With universal-argument, make topic a peer of it's former
offspring. Simplify the code by separating out allout-shift-out functionality.
(allout-shift-out): With universal-argument, make offspring peers of their
former container, and its siblings. Implement the functionality here, rather
than inappropriately muddling the implementation of allout-shift-in.
(allout-rebullet-topic): Respect additional argument for new parent-child
separation function.
(allout-yank-processing): Use allout-ascend directly.
(allout-show-entry): Disqualify aberrant topics.
(allout-show-children): Handle discontinuous children gracefully, extending the
depth being revealed to expose them and posting a message indicating the
situation.
(allout-show-to-offshoot): Remove obsolete and incorrect comment. Leave cursor
in correct position.
(allout-hide-current-subtree): Use allout-ascend directly. Disqualify aberrant
topics.
(allout-kill-line, allout-kill-topic): Preserve exposure layout in a way that
the yanks can restore it, as used to happen.
(allout-yank-processing): Restore exposure layout as recorded by allout-kill-*,
as used to happen.
(allout-annotate-hidden, allout-hide-by-annotation): New routines for preseving
and restoring exposure layout across kills.
(allout-toggle-subtree-encryption): Run allout-exposure-change-hook.
(allout-encrypt-string): Strip text properties. Rearranged order and
outline-headings for some of the miscellaneous functions.
(allout-resolve-xref): No need to quote the error name in the condition-case
handler section.
(allout-flatten): Classic recursive (and recursively intensive, without
tail-recursion) list-flattener, needed by allout-shift-out when confronted with
discontinuous children.

The pattern is a string that is searched in the source file to find the tagged line. - WHY TAG NAMES ARE GOOD When a user looks for a tag, Emacs first compares the tag with the tag names contained in the tags file. If no match is found, Emacs compares the tag with the patterns. The tag name is then the preferred way to look for tags in the tags file, because when the tag name is present Emacs can find a tag faster and more accurately. These tag names are part of tag lines in the tags file, so we call them "explicit". - WHY IMPLICIT TAG NAMES ARE EVEN BETTER When a tag line has no name, but a name can be deduced from the pattern, we say that the tag line has an implicit tag name. Often tag names are redundant; this happens when the name of a tag is an easily guessable substring of the tag pattern. We define a set of rules to decide whether it is possible to deduce the tag name from the pattern, and make an unnamed tag in those cases. The name deduced from the pattern of an unnamed tag is the implicit name of that tag. When the user looks for a tag, and Emacs finds no explicit tag names that match it, Emacs then looks for an tag whose implicit tag name matches the request. etags.c uses implicit tag names when possible, in order to reduce the size of the tags file. An implicit tag name is deduced from the pattern by discarding the last character if it is one of ` \f\t\n\r()=,;', then taking all the rightmost consecutive characters in the pattern which are not one of those. ===================== end of discussion of tag names ===================== Copyright (c) 2002, 2004, 2006 Free software Foundation, Inc.
