;;; Commentary:

;; A very concise metalanguage for writing structured statement
;; skeleton insertion commands for programming language modes.  This
;; originated in shell-script mode and was applied to ada-mode's
;; commands which shrunk to one third.  And these commands are now
;; user configurable.

(defun skeleton-insert (definition &optional no-newline)
  "Insert the complex statement skeleton DEFINITION describes very concisely.
If optional NO-NEWLINE is nil the skeleton will end on a line of its own.

DEFINITION is made up as (PROMPT ELEMENT ...).  PROMPT may be nil if not
needed, a prompt-string or an expression for complex read functions.

If ELEMENT is a string or a character it gets inserted (see also
`skeleton-transformation').  Other possibilities are:

	\\n	go to next line and align cursor
	>	indent according to major mode
	<	undent tab-width spaces but not beyond beginning of line
	_	cursor after termination
	&	skip next ELEMENT if previous didn't move point
	|	skip next ELEMENT if previous moved point
	-num	delete num preceding characters
	resume:	skipped, continue here if quit is signaled
	nil	skipped

ELEMENT may itself be DEFINITION with a PROMPT.  The user is prompted
repeatedly for different inputs.  The DEFINITION is processed as often
as the user enters a non-empty string.  \\[keyboard-quit] terminates
skeleton insertion, but continues after `resume:' and positions at `_'
if any.  If PROMPT in such a sub-definition contains a \".. %s ..\" it
is replaced by `skeleton-subprompt'.

Other lisp-expressions are evaluated and the value treated as above.
The following local variables are available:

	str	first time: read a string prompting with PROMPT and insert it
			    if PROMPT is not a string it is evaluated instead
		then: insert previously read string once more
	quit	non-nil when resume: section is entered by keyboard quit
	v1, v2	local variables for memorising anything you want"

entered.  No more of the skeleton will be inserted, except maybe for a
syntactically necessary termination."))
