Require 'cl during byte-compilation/interactive load, for the `assert' macro. (allout-mode-deactivate-hook): New hook, is run when allout mode deactivates. (allout-developer): New allout customization subgroup. (allout-run-unit-tests-on-load): New allout-developer customization variable, when true allout unit tests are run towards end of file load/eval. (allout-inhibit-auto-fill): Disable auto-fill activity even during auto-fill-mode. (allout-resumptions): Removed, to be replaced by... (allout-add-resumptions): Register variable settings to be reinstated by `allout-do-resumptions'. The settings are made buffer-local, but the locality/globality of the suspended setting is restored on resumption. (allout-do-resumptions): Reinstate all settings suspended using `allout-add-resumptions'. (allout-test-resumptions): Unit tests (and intermediate variables) for resumptions. (allout-tests-globally-unbound, allout-tests-globally-true) (allout-tests-locally-true): Intermediate variables for resumptions unit tests. (allout-overlay-preparations): Replaces `allout-set-overlay-category'. (allout-exposure-category): Replaces 'allout-overlay-category variable. (allout-mode): Use `allout-add-resumptions' and `allout-do-resumptions' instead of retired `allout-resumptions'. For hook functions, use `local' parameter so hook settings are created and removed as buffer-local settings. Revise (resumptions) setting auto-fill-function so it is set only if already active. (The related fill-function settings are all made in either case, so that activating auto-fill-mode activity will have the custom allout-mode behaviors (hanging indent on topics, if configured for it). Also, remove all allout-exposure-category overlays on mode deactivation. (allout-hotspot-key-handler): New function extracted from `allout-pre-command-business', so the functionality can be used for other purposes, eg as a binding in an overlay. (allout-pre-command-business): Use new `allout-hotspot-key-handler'. (allout-auto-fill): Respect new `allout-inhibit-auto-fill' customization variable. (allout-run-unit-tests): Run the (currently quite small) repertoire of unit tests. Called just before the provide iff user has customized `allout-run-unit-tests-on-load' non-nil.

@node Introduction
@unnumbered Introduction

This manual contains detailed information about various features that
are too specialized to be included in the printed Emacs manual.  It is
intended to be readable by anyone having a basic knowledge of Emacs.
However, certain sections may be intended for a more specialized
audience, such as Elisp authors.  This should be clearly pointed out
at the beginning of these sections.

Certain packages, or collections of related features, have their own
manuals, separate from the main Emacs User's manual.  This manual is
intended as a complement, rather than an alternative, to reading those
additional manuals; in a nutshell, it is a collection of smaller
specialized features, too small or too obscure to justify their own
manual.

Sections intended specifically for Elisp programmers can follow the
style of the Elisp manual.  Other sections should follow the style of
the Emacs manual.
