Got rid of all byte-compiler warnings on Emacs Load ada-xref.el before ada-prj.el, so that the Project menu is created when ada-prj tries to add to it. (ada-activate-keys-for-case): Suppress the characters that are not part of the Ada syntax. Better compatibility with else-mode (ada-adjust-case-interactive): When auto-casing is not active, correctly insert newlines (used to insert only ^M). Prevent the syntax table from being changed in case of an error (or '_' becomes part of a word and some commands are confused). Do nothing if ada-auto-case is nil. (ada-after-keyword-p): Ignore keywords that are also attributes (ada-batch-reformat): Update usage comment (ada-call-from-contextual-menu): New function (ada-case-read-exceptions): Reinitialize the casing exception list first to nil first, so that the casing exception file can be shared. (ada-check-defun-name): Handles "configure" keyword for gnatdist files. (ada-compile-goto-error): Fix regexp used to detect a file:line anywhere in the error message (ada-contextual-menu-last-point): New variable (ada-create-keymap): If the variable delete-key-deletes-forward is t on XEmacs, it means that DEL should delete one character forward. (ada-create-menu): Use :included instead of :visible for XEmacs. New submenu "Options". (ada-end-stmt-re): Correctly indent "select ... then abort" statements. (ada-fill-comment-paragraph): Correctly delete all leading '--' even if they don't match ada-fill-comment-prefix Fix handling of paragraphs on the first or last line of a file. (ada-format-paramlist): Fix handling of default parameter values. (ada-get-body-name): New function. (ada-get-current-indent): Optimized by searchling directly for an existing generic part or a statement outside of it. Handle ada-indent-align-comments when indenting comments Replaced some regexps by testing directly the next character. This results in a huge speedup on some files. New indentation scheme for renames statements. Stop looking for the 'while' or 'for' associated with a 'loop' at the first semicolon encountered. A "return" can also match an anonymous access subprogram declaration. (ada-get-indent-noindent): Ignore strings and comments when looking for the keywords "record" and "private". (ada-goto-matching-decl-start): When matching "if", make sure we are not in fact seeing "end if". Ignore "when" statements except when initial keyword was "begin". Fix handling of nested procedures. Add a recursive call to this function to skip over other 'end' statmts. Fix indentation for "when .. => begin" (ada-in-open-paren-p): Fix indentation for complex boolean expressions, where 'and then', 'or else' and parenthesis statements are mixed up. (ada-in-paramlist-p): Skip comments while searching for the beginning Fix handling of operator declarations. (ada-indent-align-comments): New variable (ada-indent-current): Change the syntax table only in the protected section, so that we are sure it is restored correctly. (ada-indent-on-previous-lines): Use ada-use-indent and ada-with-indent Correctly indent "select ... then" (ada-indent-region): Slight speedup. (ada-indent-renames): New variable. (ada-last-which-function-subprog, ada-last-which-function-line): New variables (ada-looking-at-semi-private): Correctly indent the 'private' keyword when it is the first word in a package declaration. (ada-loose-case-word): Stop searching if at the end of the buffer. (ada-loose-case-word, ada-capitalize-word): Recase the whole word even if point is not initially at the end of the word. (ada-matching-decl-start-re): Add "when". (ada-mode): Add support for abbrev-mode, outline-mode and which-func-mode Override the old find-file.el entry in ff-special-constructs since it is using the obsolete ada-spec-suffix variable (ada-no-auto-case): New function (ada-scan-paramlist): When parsing the argument type, accept spaces (as in "X 'Class", generated by Rational Rose). (ada-other-file-name): No longer loads the other file. (ada-popup-menu): Save and restore the current buffer and cursor position before and after displaying the menu. (ada-search-ignore-complex-boolean): New function. (ada-uncomment-region): Emacs21 already knows how to delete comments not starting in the first column. (ada-use-indent): New variable (ada-which-function): New function. (ada-with-indent): New variable (ada-xemacs): evaluate it at compile time too, so that ada-mode.el can be batch-compiled from the command line.

README for Edition 2.5 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.

* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
texinfo.tex.

* Report Lisp Manual bugs to [e-mail].  We don't read
these bug reports until it's time for a new edition.  To report other
Emacs bugs, use [e-mail].  To ask questions, use the
newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.

* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
900 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost two
megabytes.

* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
using TeX.  

* You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
For info, send mail to [e-mail] or phone [phone].  Buying a
manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
development work.

** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:

** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
manual is included in this distribution.

The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
`elisp.texi'.  It contains @include commands to include all the
chapters that make up the manual.  In addition, `elisp.texi' has
the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
@titlespec command.

To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
commands in the shell:

% ./configure
% make index.texi
% make elisp.dvi

*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
with `make-permuted-index'.  

** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run
`./configure' and `make elisp'.  To install the Info files, run
`make install'.
