(add-change-log-entry): Skip copyright notice and copying permission notice at start of file, if any. Make use of terms "entry" and "item" accord with Emacs manual. Simplify the logic for moving point while entering or creating an entry and then an item. (add-change-log-entry-other-window): Doc fix.

;;; Commentary:

;; Provides a global minor mode (toggled by M-x hl-line-mode) to
;; highlight, on a suitable terminal, the line in the current window
;; on which point is (except in a minibuffer window).  Done to satisfy
;; a request for a feature of Lesser Editors.

;; You probably don't really want this; if the cursor is difficult to
;; spot, try changing its colour, relying on `blink-cursor-mode' or
;; both.  The hookery used might affect response noticeably on a slow
;; machine.

;; An overlay is used, active only on the selected window.  Hooks are
;; added to `pre-command-hook' and `post-command-hook' to activate and
;; deactivate (by deleting) the overlay.  `hl-line-unhighlight', on
;; `pre-command-hook', deactivates it unconditionally in case the
;; command changes the selected window.  (It does so rather than
;; keeping track of changes in the selected window).
;; `hl-line-highlight', on `post-command-hook', activates it again
;; across the window width.

;; You could make variable `hl-line-mode' buffer-local to avoid
;; highlighting specific buffers.
