Define describe-coding-system instead of describe-current-coding-system in help-map and mule-menu-keymap. In mule-menu-keymap, enable set-buffer-process-coding-system only when the current buffer has been associated with some subprocess. (set-language-info): Doc-string modified because input-method is not a valid KEY argument now. (leim-list-file-name, leim-list-header, leim-list-entry-regexp): New variables. (update-leim-list-file, update-all-leim-list-files): New functions. (current-input-method): Doc-string modified because the value is now input method name. (defualt-input-method, previous-input-method): Likewise. (current-input-method-title): Doc-string modified because now each input method does not have to set this variable. (input-method-alist): New variable. (register-input-method): Register input method in input-method-alist. (read-language-and-input-method-name): Deleted. (read-input-method-name): New function. (activate-input-method, select-input-method, toggle-input-method): Modified for the above change. (read-multilingual-string): Likewise. (describe-current-input-method): Renamed from describe-input-method. (describe-input-method): New function. (describe-language-environment): Do not put a vacant line at the top of *Help* buffer. Show a title string of each input method.

;;; Commentary:

;; Commands to optimize spaces to tabs or expand tabs to spaces in a region
;; (`tabify' and `untabify').  The variable tab-width does the obvious.

;;; Code:

;;;###autoload
(defun untabify (start end)
  "Convert all tabs in region to multiple spaces, preserving columns.
Called non-interactively, the region is specified by arguments
START and END, rather than by the position of point and mark.
The variable `tab-width' controls the spacing of tab stops."
  (interactive "r")
  (save-excursion
    (save-restriction
      (narrow-to-region (point-min) end)
      (goto-char start)
      (while (search-forward "\t" nil t)	; faster than re-search
	(let ((tab-beg (point))
	      (column (current-column))
	      (indent-tabs-mode nil))
	  (skip-chars-backward "\t" start)
	  (delete-region tab-beg (point))
	  (indent-to column))))))

;;;###autoload
(defun tabify (start end)
  "Convert multiple spaces in region to tabs when possible.
A group of spaces is partially replaced by tabs
when this can be done without changing the column they end at.

  (interactive "r")
