;;; Commentary:

;; This file provides a simple way to define powerful templates, or
;; macros, if you wish. It is mainly intended for, but not limited to,
;; other programmers to be used for creating shortcuts for editing
;; certain kind of documents. It was originally written to be used by
;; a HTML editing mode written by Nelson Minar <[e-mail]>, and
;; his html-helper-mode.el is probably the best example of how to use
;; this program.

;; A template is defined as a list of items to be inserted in the
;; current buffer at point. Some of the items can be simple strings,
;; while other can control formatting or define special points of
;; interest in the inserted text.

;; If a template defines a "point of interest" that point is inserted
;; in a buffer-local list of "points of interest" that the user can
;; jump between with the commands `tempo-backward-mark' and
;; `tempo-forward-mark'. If the template definer provides a prompt for
;; the point, and the variable `tempo-interactive' is non-nil, the
;; user will be prompted for a string to be inserted in the buffer,
;; using the minibuffer.

;; The template can also define one point to be replaced with the
;; current region if the template command is called with a prefix (or
;; a non-nil argument).

;; More flexible templates can be created by including lisp symbols,
;; which will be evaluated as variables, or lists, which will will be
;; evaluated as lisp expressions.

;; See the documentation for tempo-define-template for the different
;; items that can be used to define a tempo template.

;; One of the more powerful features of tempo templates are automatic
;; completion. With every template can be assigned a special tag that
;; should be recognized by `tempo-complete-tag' and expanded to the
;; complete template. By default the tags are added to a global list
;; of template tags, and are matched against the last word before
;; point. But if you assign your tags to a specific list, you can also
;; specify another method for matching text in the buffer against the
;; tags. In the HTML mode, for instance, the tags are matched against
;; the text between the last `<' and point.

;; When defining a template named `foo', a symbol named
;; `tempo-template-foo' will be created whose value as a variable will
;; be the template definition, and its function value will be an
;; interactive function that inserts the template at the point.

;; Full documentation for tempo.el can be found on the World Wide Web
;; at http://www.lysator.liu.se:7500/~davidk/tempo.html (not yet
;; completed)

(defun tempo-define-template (name elements &optional tag documentation taglist)
  "Define a template.
This function creates a template variable `tempo-template-NAME' and an
interactive function `tempo-template-NAME' that inserts the template
at the point.  The created function is returned.

NAME is a string that contains the name of the template, ELEMENTS is a
list of elements in the template, TAG is the tag used for completion,
DOCUMENTATION is the documentation string for the insertion command
created, and TAGLIST (a symbol) is the tag list that TAG (if provided)
should be added to).  If TAGLIST is nil and TAG is non-nil, TAG is
added to `tempo-tags'

The elements in ELEMENTS can be of several types:

 - A string. It is sent to the hooks in `tempo-insert-string-functions',
   and the result is inserted.
 - The symbol 'p. This position is saved in `tempo-marks'.
 - The symbol 'r. If `tempo-insert' is called with ON-REGION non-nil
   the current region is placed here. Otherwise it works like 'p.
 - (p PROMPT <NAME>) If `tempo-interactive' is non-nil, the user is
   prompted in the minbuffer with PROMPT for a string to be inserted.
   If the optional parameter NAME is non-nil, the text is saved for
   later insertion with the `s' tag.
   If `tempo-interactive is nil, it works like 'p.
 - (r PROMPT) like the previous, but if `tempo-interactive' is nil
   and `tempo-insert' is called with ON-REGION non-nil, the current
   region is placed here.
 - (s NAME) Inserts text previously read with the (p ..) construct.
   Finds the insertion saved under NAME and inserts it. Acts like 'p
   if tempo-interactive is nil.
 - '& If there is only whitespace between the line start and point,
   nothing happens. Otherwise a newline is inserted.
 - '% If there is only whitespace between point and end-of-line
   nothing happens. Otherwise a newline is inserted.
 - 'n inserts a newline.
 - '> The line is indented using `indent-according-to-mode'. Note that
   you often should place this item after the text you want on the
   line.
 - 'n> inserts a newline and indents line.
 - nil. It is ignored.
 - Anything else. It is evaluated and the result is parsed again."

If COMPLETION-FUNCTION is a string, it should contain a regular

`tempo-complete-tag' calls `re-search-backward' with this string, and
the string between the first \\( and \\) is used for matching against
each string in the tag list. If one is found, the whole text between
the first \\( and the point is replaced with the inserted template.

You will probably want to include \\ \= at the end of the regexp to make
sure that the string is matched only against text adjacent to the
