+GNU Emacs is much more than a text editor; over the years, it has
+expanded to become an entire workflow environment, impressing
+programmers with its integrated debugging and project-management
+features. It is also a multi-lingual word processor, can handle all
+your email and Usenet news needs, display web pages, and even has a
+diary and a calendar for your appointments!
+
+And when you tire of all the work you can accomplish with it, Emacs
+contains games to play.
+
+@strong{Features include:}
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Special editing modes for @strong{27 programing languages}, including C,
+C@t{++}, Fortran, Java, JavaScript, Lisp, Objective C, Pascal, Perl,
+and Scheme.
+
+@item
+Special @strong{scripting language modes} for Bash, other common shells,
+and creating Makefiles for GNU/Linux, UNIX, Windows/DOS, and VMS
+systems.
+
+@item
+Support for typing and displaying in @strong{60 non- English languages},
+including Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Korean,
+Russian, Vietnamese, and all Western European languages.
+
+@item
+The ability to:
+
+@itemize @minus
+@item
+Create @strong{PostScript output} from plain-text files (special editing
+modes for @LaTeX{} and @TeX{} are included).
+
+@item
+@strong{Compile} and @strong{debug} from inside Emacs.
+
+@item
+Maintain program @strong{ChangeLogs}.
+
+@item
+Flag, move, and delete files and sub-directories recursively
+(@strong{directory navigation}).
+
+@item
+Run @strong{shell commands} from inside Emacs, or even use Emacs itself
+as a shell (Eshell).
+
+@item
+Enjoy the use of extensive @strong{merge} and @strong{diff} functions.
+
+@item
+Take advantage of built-in support for many @strong{version control}
+systems, including Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, Subversion, and CVS.
+
+@item
+And much more!

+Emacs comes with an introductory online tutorial available in many
+languages. This book picks up where that tutorial ends. It explains
+the full range of Emacs's power and contains reference material useful
+to expert users.
+
+Appendices are included, with specific material about X and GTK
+resources, and with details for users of Macintosh and Microsoft OS.
+
+@strong{About the Author:}

+Emacs in 1984/85. He has received the ACM Grace Hopper Award, a
+MacArthur Foundation fellowship, the Electronic Frontier Foundation's
+Pioneer award, and the Takeda Award for Social/Economic Betterment, as
+well as several honorary doctorates.
