;;; Commentary:

;; Allout outline minor mode provides extensive outline formatting and
;; and manipulation beyond standard emacs outline mode.  Some features:
;;
;;  - Classic outline-mode topic-oriented navigation and exposure adjustment
;;  - Topic-oriented editing including coherent topic and subtopic
;;    creation, promotion, demotion, cut/paste across depths, etc.
;;  - Incremental search with dynamic exposure and reconcealment of text
;;  - Customizable bullet format - enables programming-language specific
;;    outlining, for code-folding editing.  (Allout code itself is to try it;
;;    formatted as an outline - do ESC-x eval-buffer in allout.el; but
;;    emacs local file variables need to be enabled when the
;;    file was visited - see `enable-local-variables'.)
;;  - Configurable per-file initial exposure settings
;;  - Symmetric-key and key-pair topic encryption, plus symmetric passphrase
;;    mnemonic support, with verification against an established passphrase
;;    (using a stashed encrypted dummy string) and user-supplied hint
;;    maintenance.  (See allout-toggle-current-subtree-encryption docstring.)
;;  - Automatic topic-number maintenance
;;  - "Hot-spot" operation, for single-keystroke maneuvering and
;;    exposure control (see the allout-mode docstring)
;;  - Easy rendering of exposed portions into numbered, latex, indented, etc
;;    outline styles
;;  - Careful attention to whitespace - enabling blank lines between items
;;    and maintenance of hanging indentation (in paragraph auto-fill and
;;    across topic promotion and demotion) of topic bodies consistent with
;;    indentation of their topic header.
;;
;; and more.
;;
;; See the `allout-mode' function's docstring for an introduction to the
;; mode.
;;
;; The latest development version and helpful notes are available at
;; http://myriadicity.net/Sundry/EmacsAllout .
;;
;; The outline menubar additions provide quick reference to many of
;; the features, and see the docstring of the variable `allout-init'
;; for instructions on priming your emacs session for automatic
;; activation of allout-mode.
;;
;; See the docstring of the variables `allout-layout' and
;; `allout-auto-activation' for details on automatic activation of
;; `allout-mode' as a minor mode.  (It has changed since allout
;; 3.x, for those of you that depend on the old method.)
;;
;; Note - the lines beginning with `;;;_' are outline topic headers.
;;        Just `ESC-x eval-buffer' to give it a whirl.

  "*Default allout outline layout specification.

This setting specifies the outline exposure to use when
`allout-layout' has the local value `t'.  This docstring describes the
layout specifications.

A list value specifies a default layout for the current buffer,
to be applied upon activation of `allout-mode'.  Any non-nil
value will automatically trigger `allout-mode', provided
`allout-init' has been called to enable this behavior.

The types of elements in the layout specification are:

 integer - dictate the relative depth to open the corresponding topic(s),
           where:
         - negative numbers force the topic to be closed before opening
           to the absolute value of the number, so all siblings are open
           only to that level.
         - positive numbers open to the relative depth indicated by the
           number, but do not force already opened subtopics to be closed.
         - 0 means to close topic - hide all subitems.
 :   - repeat spec - apply the preceeding element to all siblings at
       current level, *up to* those siblings that would be covered by specs
       following the `:' on the list.  Ie, apply to all topics at level but
       trailing ones accounted for by trailing specs.  \(Only the first of
       multiple colons at the same level is honored - later ones are ignored.)
 *   - completely exposes the topic, including bodies
 +   - exposes all subtopics, but not the bodies
 -   - exposes the body of the corresponding topic, but not subtopics
 list - a nested layout spec, to be applied intricately to its
        corresponding item(s)

Examples:
 '(-2 : 0)
	Collapse the top-level topics to show their children and
        grandchildren, but completely collapse the final top-level topic.
 '(-1 () : 1 0)
	Close the first topic so only the immediate subtopics are shown,
        leave the subsequent topics exposed as they are until the second
	second to last topic, which is exposed at least one level, and
        completely close the last topic.
 '(-2 : -1 *)
        Expose children and grandchildren of all topics at current
	level except the last two; expose children of the second to
	last and completely expose the last one, including its subtopics.

See `allout-expose-topic' for more about the exposure process.

Also, allout's mode-specific provisions will make topic prefixes default
to the comment-start string, if any, of the language of the file.  This
is modulo the setting of `allout-use-mode-specific-leader', which see."

The idea is to prevent file-system exposure of any un-encrypted stuff, and

 - Yes: encrypt all topics pending encryption, even if it's the one
        currently being edited.  \(In that case, the currently edited topic
        will be automatically decrypted before any user interaction, so they
        can continue editing but the copy on the file system will be
        encrypted.)
        Auto-saves will use the \"All except current topic\" mode if this
        one is selected, to avoid practical difficulties - see below.
 - All except current topic: skip the topic currently being edited, even if
       it's pending encryption.  This may expose the current topic on the
       file sytem, but avoids the nuisance of prompts for the encryption
       passphrase in the middle of editing for, eg, autosaves.
       This mode is used for auto-saves for both this option and \"Yes\".
 - No: leave it to the user to encrypt any unencrypted topics.

For practical reasons, auto-saves always use the 'except-current policy

  "Toggle minor mode for controlling exposure and editing of text outlines.
\\<allout-mode-map>

Optional arg forces mode to re-initialize iff arg is positive num or
symbol.  Allout outline mode always runs as a minor mode.

Allout outline mode provides extensive outline oriented formatting and
manipulation.  It enables structural editing of outlines, as well as
navigation and exposure.  It also is specifically aimed at
accommodating syntax-sensitive text like programming languages.  \(For
an example, see the allout code itself, which is organized as an allout
outline.)

In addition to outline navigation and exposure, allout includes:

 - topic-oriented repositioning, promotion/demotion, cut, and paste
 - integral outline exposure-layout
 - incremental search with dynamic exposure and reconcealment of hidden text
 - automatic topic-number maintenance
 - easy topic encryption and decryption
 - \"Hot-spot\" operation, for single-keystroke maneuvering and
    exposure control.  \(See the allout-mode docstring.)

and many other features.

Below is a description of the bindings, and then explanation of
special `allout-mode' features and terminology.  See also the outline
menubar additions for quick reference to many of the features, and see
the docstring of the function `allout-init' for instructions on
priming your emacs session for automatic activation of `allout-mode'.


The bindings are dictated by the `allout-keybindings-list' and
`allout-command-prefix' variables.

                  Topic Encryption

Outline mode supports gpg encryption of topics, with support for
symmetric and key-pair modes, passphrase timeout, passphrase
consistency checking, user-provided hinting for symmetric key
mode, and auto-encryption of topics pending encryption on save.
\(Topics pending encryption are, by default, automatically
encrypted during file saves; if you're editing the contents of
such a topic, it is automatically decrypted for continued
editing.)  The aim is reliable topic privacy while preventing
accidents like neglected encryption before saves, forgetting
which passphrase was used, and other practical pitfalls.

See `allout-toggle-current-subtree-encryption' function docstring and
`allout-encrypt-unencrypted-on-saves' customization variable for details.

		 HOT-SPOT Operation

Hot-spot operation provides a means for easy, single-keystroke outline
navigation and exposure control.

When the text cursor is positioned directly on the bullet character of
a topic, regular characters (a to z) invoke the commands of the
corresponding allout-mode keymap control chars.  For example, \"f\"
would invoke the command typically bound to \"C-c<space>C-f\"
\(\\[allout-forward-current-level] `allout-forward-current-level').

Thus, by positioning the cursor on a topic bullet, you can
execute the outline navigation and manipulation commands with a
single keystroke.  Regular navigation keys (eg, \\[forward-char], \\[next-line]) never get
this special translation, so you can use them to get out of the
hot-spot and back to normal operation.

Note that the command `allout-beginning-of-current-entry' \(\\[allout-beginning-of-current-entry]\)
will move to the hot-spot when the cursor is already located at the
beginning of the current entry, so you usually can hit \\[allout-beginning-of-current-entry]
twice in a row to get to the hot-spot.

			    Terminology

Topic hierarchy constituents - TOPICS and SUBTOPICS:

TOPIC:	A basic, coherent component of an Emacs outline.  It can
	contain and be contained by other topics.
CURRENT topic:
	The visible topic most immediately containing the cursor.
DEPTH:	The degree of nesting of a topic; it increases with
	containment.  Also called the:
LEVEL:	The same as DEPTH.

ANCESTORS:
	The topics that contain a topic.
PARENT:	A topic's immediate ancestor.  It has a depth one less than
	the topic.
OFFSPRING:
	The topics contained by a topic;
SUBTOPIC:
	An immediate offspring of a topic;
CHILDREN:
	The immediate offspring of a topic.
SIBLINGS:
	Topics having the same parent and depth.

Topic text constituents:

HEADER:	The first line of a topic, include the topic PREFIX and header
	text.
PREFIX: The leading text of a topic which distinguishes it from normal
        text.  It has a strict form, which consists of a prefix-lead
        string, padding, and a bullet.  The bullet may be followed by a
        number, indicating the ordinal number of the topic among its
        siblings, a space, and then the header text.

	The relative length of the PREFIX determines the nesting depth
	of the topic.
PREFIX-LEAD:
	The string at the beginning of a topic prefix, normally a `.'.
	It can be customized by changing the setting of
	`allout-header-prefix' and then reinitializing `allout-mode'.

	By setting the prefix-lead to the comment-string of a
	programming language, you can embed outline structuring in
	program code without interfering with the language processing
	of that code.  See `allout-use-mode-specific-leader'
	docstring for more detail.
PREFIX-PADDING:
	Spaces or asterisks which separate the prefix-lead and the
	bullet, determining the depth of the topic.
BULLET: A character at the end of the topic prefix, it must be one of
	the characters listed on `allout-plain-bullets-string' or
        `allout-distinctive-bullets-string'.  (See the documentation
        for these variables for more details.)  The default choice of
	bullet when generating topics varies in a cycle with the depth of
	the topic.
ENTRY:	The text contained in a topic before any offspring.
BODY:	Same as ENTRY.


EXPOSURE:
 	The state of a topic which determines the on-screen visibility
	of its offspring and contained text.
CONCEALED:
	Topics and entry text whose display is inhibited.  Contiguous
	units of concealed text is represented by `...' ellipses.

	Concealed topics are effectively collapsed within an ancestor.
CLOSED:	A topic whose immediate offspring and body-text is concealed.
OPEN:	A topic that is not closed, though its offspring or body may be."

Charts are used to capture outline structure, so that outline-altering
routines need assess the structure only once, and then use the chart
for their elaborate manipulations.

Topics are entered in the chart so the last one is at the car.
The entry for each topic consists of an integer indicating the point
at the beginning of the topic.  Charts for offspring consists of a
list containing, recursively, the charts for the respective subtopics.
The chart for a topics' offspring precedes the entry for the topic

  "Outline `pre-command-hook' function for outline buffers.
Implements special behavior when cursor is on bullet character.

When the cursor is on the bullet character, self-insert characters are
reinterpreted as the corresponding control-character in the
`allout-mode-map'.  The `allout-mode' `post-command-hook' insures that
the cursor which has moved as a result of such reinterpretation is
positioned on the bullet character of the destination topic.

The upshot is that you can get easy, single (ie, unmodified) key
outline maneuvering operations by positioning the cursor on the bullet
char.  When in this mode you can use regular cursor-positioning
command/keystrokes to relocate the cursor off of a bullet character to
return to regular interpretation of self-insert characters."

  "Generate a topic prefix suitable for optional arg DEPTH, or current depth.

All the arguments are optional.

PRIOR-BULLET indicates the bullet of the prefix being changed, or
nil if none.  This bullet may be preserved (other options
notwithstanding) if it is on the `allout-distinctive-bullets-string',
for instance.

Second arg NEW indicates that a new topic is being opened after the
topic at point, if non-nil.  Default bullet for new topics, eg, may
be set (contingent to other args) to numbered bullets if previous
sibling is one.  The implication otherwise is that the current topic
is being adjusted - shifted or rebulleted - and we don't consider
bullet or previous sibling.

Third arg DEPTH forces the topic prefix to that depth, regardless of
the current topics' depth.

If SOLICIT is non-nil, then the choice of bullet is solicited from
user.  If it's a character, then that character is offered as the
default, otherwise the one suited to the context \(according to
distinction or depth) is offered.  \(This overrides other options,
including, eg, a distinctive PRIOR-BULLET.)  If non-nil, then the
context-specific bullet is used.

Fifth arg, NUMBER-CONTROL, matters only if `allout-numbered-bullet'
is non-nil *and* soliciting was not explicitly invoked.  Then
NUMBER-CONTROL non-nil forces prefix to either numbered or
denumbered format, depending on the value of the sixth arg, INDEX.

\(Note that NUMBER-CONTROL does *not* apply to level 1 topics.  Sorry...)

If NUMBER-CONTROL is non-nil and sixth arg INDEX is non-nil then
the prefix of the topic is forced to be numbered.  Non-nil
NUMBER-CONTROL and nil INDEX forces non-numbered format on the
bullet.  Non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL and non-nil, non-number INDEX means
that the index for the numbered prefix will be derived, by counting
siblings back to start of level.  If INDEX is a number, then that
number is used as the index for the numbered prefix (allowing, eg,
sequential renumbering to not require this function counting back the
index for each successive sibling)."
;;;_    . Code:
  ;; The options are ordered in likely frequence of use, most common
  ;; highest, least lowest.  Ie, more likely to be doing prefix
  ;; adjustments than soliciting, and yet more than numbering.
  ;; Current prefix is least dominant, but most likely to be commonly
  ;; specified...

New topic is situated after current one, unless optional flag BEFORE

When adding an offspring, it will be added immediately after the parent if
the other offspring are exposed, or after the last child if the offspring
are hidden.  \(The intervening offspring will be exposed in the latter
case.)

If OFFER-RECENT-BULLET is true, offer to use the bullet of the prior sibling.

Nuances:

- Creation of new topics is with respect to the visible topic
  containing the cursor, regardless of intervening concealed ones.

- New headers are generally created after/before the body of a
  topic.  However, they are created right at cursor location if the
  cursor is on a blank line, even if that breaks the current topic
  body.  This is intentional, to provide a simple means for
  deliberately dividing topic bodies.

- Double spacing of topic lists is preserved.  Also, the first
  level two topic is created double-spaced (and so would be
  subsequent siblings, if that's left intact).  Otherwise,
  single-spacing is used.

- Creation of sibling or nested topics is with respect to the topic
  you're starting from, even when creating backwards.  This way you
  can easily create a sibling in front of the current topic without
  having to go to its preceding sibling, and then open forward
  from there."

  "Adjust bullet of current topic prefix.

All args are optional.

If SOLICIT is non-nil, then the choice of bullet is solicited from
user.  If it's a character, then that character is offered as the
default, otherwise the one suited to the context \(according to
distinction or depth) is offered.  If non-nil, then the
context-specific bullet is just used.

Second arg DEPTH forces the topic prefix to that depth, regardless
of the topic's current depth.

Third arg NUMBER-CONTROL can force the prefix to or away from
numbered form.  It has effect only if `allout-numbered-bullet' is
non-nil and soliciting was not explicitly invoked (via first arg).
Its effect, numbering or denumbering, then depends on the setting
of the forth arg, INDEX.

If NUMBER-CONTROL is non-nil and forth arg INDEX is nil, then the
prefix of the topic is forced to be non-numbered.  Null index and
non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL forces denumbering.  Non-nil INDEX (and
non-nil NUMBER-CONTROL) forces a numbered-prefix form.  If non-nil
INDEX is a number, then that number is used for the numbered
prefix.  Non-nil and non-number means that the index for the
numbered prefix will be derived by allout-make-topic-prefix.

Fifth arg DO-SUCCESSORS t means re-resolve count on succeeding
siblings.

Cf vars `allout-stylish-prefixes', `allout-old-style-prefixes',
and `allout-numbered-bullet', which all affect the behavior of
this function."

Use the more convenient frontend, `allout-new-exposure', if you don't

variable-keyed mode-activation/auto-exposure feature of allout outline
mode.  See the respective documentation strings for more details.

Cursor is left at start position.

SPEC is either a number or a list.

Successive specs on a list are applied to successive sibling topics.

A simple spec \(either a number, one of a few symbols, or the null
list) dictates the exposure for the corresponding topic.

Non-null lists recursively designate exposure specs for respective
subtopics of the current topic.

The `:' repeat spec is used to specify exposure for any number of
successive siblings, up to the trailing ones for which there are
explicit specs following the `:'.

Simple (numeric and null-list) specs are interpreted as follows:

 Numbers indicate the relative depth to open the corresponding topic.
     - negative numbers force the topic to be closed before opening to the
       absolute value of the number, so all siblings are open only to
       that level.
     - positive numbers open to the relative depth indicated by the
       number, but do not force already opened subtopics to be closed.
     - 0 means to close topic - hide all offspring.
  :  - `repeat'
       apply prior element to all siblings at current level, *up to*
       those siblings that would be covered by specs following the `:'
       on the list.  Ie, apply to all topics at level but the last
       ones.  \(Only first of multiple colons at same level is
       respected - subsequent ones are discarded.)
  *  - completely opens the topic, including bodies.
  +  - shows all the sub headers, but not the bodies
  -  - exposes the body of the corresponding topic.

Examples:
\(allout-expose-topic '(-1 : 0))
	Close this and all following topics at current level, exposing
	only their immediate children, but close down the last topic
	at this current level completely.
\(allout-expose-topic '(-1 () : 1 0))
	Close current topic so only the immediate subtopics are shown;
	show the children in the second to last topic, and completely
	close the last one.
\(allout-expose-topic '(-2 : -1 *))
        Expose children and grandchildren of all topics at current
	level except the last two; expose children of the second to
	last and completely open the last one."

  "Deprecated.  Use `allout-expose-topic' \(with different schema

Dictate wholesale exposure scheme for current topic, according to SPEC.

SPEC is either a number or a list.  Optional successive args
dictate exposure for subsequent siblings of current topic.

A simple spec (either a number, a special symbol, or the null list)
dictates the overall exposure for a topic.  Non null lists are
composite specs whose first element dictates the overall exposure for
a topic, with the subsequent elements in the list interpreted as specs
that dictate the exposure for the successive offspring of the topic.

Simple (numeric and null-list) specs are interpreted as follows:

 - Numbers indicate the relative depth to open the corresponding topic:
  - negative numbers force the topic to be close before opening to the
    absolute value of the number.
  - positive numbers just open to the relative depth indicated by the number.
  - 0 just closes
 - `*' completely opens the topic, including bodies.
 - `+' shows all the sub headers, but not the bodies
 - `-' exposes the body and immediate offspring of the corresponding topic.

If the spec is a list, the first element must be a number, which
dictates the exposure depth of the topic as a whole.  Subsequent
elements of the list are nested SPECs, dictating the specific exposure
for the corresponding offspring of the topic.

Optional FOLLOWERS arguments dictate exposure for succeeding siblings."

  "Encrypt clear or decrypt encoded text of visibly-containing topic's contents.

Optional FETCH-PASS universal argument provokes key-pair encryption with
single universal argument.  With doubled universal argument \(value = 16),
it forces prompting for the passphrase regardless of availability from the
passphrase cache.  With no universal argument, the appropriate passphrase
is obtained from the cache, if available, else from the user.

Currently only GnuPG encryption is supported.

\**NOTE WELL** that the encrypted text must be ascii-armored.  For gnupg
encryption, include the option ``armor'' in your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file.

Both symmetric-key and key-pair encryption is implemented.  Symmetric is
the default, use a single \(x4) universal argument for keypair mode.

Encrypted topic's bullet is set to a `~' to signal that the contents of the
topic \(body and subtopics, but not heading) is pending encryption or
encrypted.  `*' asterisk immediately after the bullet signals that the body
is encrypted, its' absence means the topic is meant to be encrypted but is
not.  When a file with topics pending encryption is saved, topics pending
encryption are encrypted.  See allout-encrypt-unencrypted-on-saves for
auto-encryption specifics.

\**NOTE WELL** that automatic encryption that happens during saves will
default to symmetric encryption - you must manually \(re)encrypt key-pair
encrypted topics if you want them to continue to use the key-pair cipher.

Level-1 topics, with prefix consisting solely of an `*' asterisk, cannot be
encrypted.  If you want to encrypt the contents of a top-level topic, use
\\[allout-shift-in] to increase its depth.

  Passphrase Caching

The encryption passphrase is solicited if not currently available in the
passphrase cache from a recent encryption action.

The solicited passphrase is retained for reuse in a buffer-specific cache
for some set period of time \(default, 60 seconds), after which the string
is nulled.  The passphrase cache timeout is customized by setting
`pgg-passphrase-cache-expiry'.

  Symmetric Passphrase Hinting and Verification

If the file previously had no associated passphrase, or had a different
passphrase than specified, the user is prompted to repeat the new one for
corroboration.  A random string encrypted by the new passphrase is set on
the buffer-specific variable `allout-passphrase-verifier-string', for
confirmation of the passphrase when next obtained, before encrypting or
decrypting anything with it.  This helps avoid mistakenly shifting between
keys.

If allout customization var `allout-passphrase-verifier-handling' is
non-nil, an entry for `allout-passphrase-verifier-string' and its value is
added to an Emacs 'local variables' section at the end of the file, which
is created if necessary.  That setting is for retention of the passphrase
verifier across emacs sessions.

Similarly, `allout-passphrase-hint-string' stores a user-provided reminder
about their passphrase, and `allout-passphrase-hint-handling' specifies
when the hint is presented, or if passphrase hints are disabled.  If
enabled \(see the `allout-passphrase-hint-handling' docstring for details),
the hint string is stored in the local-variables section of the file, and
solicited whenever the passphrase is changed."
