* verilog-mode.el (verilog-library-extensions): Enable .sv filename extensions to call verilog-mode. (verilog-auto, verilog-auto-inst, verilog-faq) (verilog-submit-bug-report): Update author support URLs. (verilog-delete-auto, verilog-auto-inout-module) (verilog-auto-inout-comp, verilog-auto): Add AUTOINOUTCOMP for creating complemented testbench modules. Suggested by Yishay Belkind. (verilog-auto-inst-port, verilog-simplify-range-expression): When verilog-auto-inst-param-value is set, don't require a AUTO_TEMPLATE to expand parameter substitutions. Suggested by Yishay Belkind. (verilog-auto-inst-param-value): Add safe variable. (verilog-re-search-forward, verilog-re-search-backward): Fix returning wrong search results on Emacs 22.1. (verilog-modi-cache-results, verilog-auto): Fix warning message about "toggling font-lock-mode." (verilog-auto): Fix loosing font-lock on errors. (verilog-auto-inst-param-value, verilog-mode-version) (verilog-mode-version-date, verilog-read-inst-param-value) (verilog-auto-inst, verilog-auto-inst-param) (verilog-auto-inst-port, verilog-simplify-range-expression): Allow parameters to be replaced with their values, on the expansion of an AUTOINST with Verilog 2001 style parameter settings. Suggested by David Rogoff. * verilog-mode.el (verilog-beg-block-re-ordered, verilog-calc-1): Better support for the property statement. Sometimes this keyword introduces a statement which requires an endproperty keyword, and sometimes it doesn't, dependening on the work before the property word. If property is prefixed with assert, assume or cover keyword, then the statement is ended with a ';' Otherwise, property is like task or specify, and is followed by some number of statements, which are ended with an endproperty keyword. (electric-verilog-tab): Support Emacs 22.2 style handling of tab in a highlighted region: indent each line in region according to mode. Supply this so it works in XEmacs and older Emacs.

;;; Commentary:

;; This package provides a pre-packaged `Electric Help Mode' for
;; browsing on-line help screens.  There is one entry point,
;; `with-electric-help'; all you have to give it is a no-argument
;; function that generates the actual text of the help into the current
;; buffer.

;; To make this the default, you must do
;; (require 'ehelp)
;; (define-key global-map "\C-h" 'ehelp-command)
;; (define-key global-map [help] 'ehelp-command)
;; (define-key global-map [f1] 'ehelp-command)

  "Pop up an \"electric\" help buffer.
THUNK is a function of no arguments which is called to initialize the
contents of BUFFER.  BUFFER defaults to `*Help*'.  BUFFER will be
erased before THUNK is called unless NOERASE is non-nil.  THUNK will
be called while BUFFER is current and with `standard-output' bound to
the buffer specified by BUFFER.

If THUNK returns nil, we display BUFFER starting at the top, and
shrink the window to fit.  If THUNK returns non-nil, we don't do those things.

After THUNK has been called, this function \"electrically\" pops up a window
in which BUFFER is displayed and allows the user to scroll through that buffer
in `electric-help-mode'. The window's height will be at least MINHEIGHT if
this value is non-nil.

If THUNK returns nil, we display BUFFER starting at the top, and
shrink the window to fit if `electric-help-shrink-window' is non-nil.
If THUNK returns non-nil, we don't do those things.

When the user exits (with `electric-help-exit', or otherwise), the help
buffer's window disappears (i.e., we use `save-window-excursion'), and
BUFFER is put into `default-major-mode' (or `fundamental-mode')."
