You can write new code in Emacs Lisp and + install it as an extension to the editor. However, Emacs Lisp is more + than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming + language in its own right. You can use it as you would any other + programming language. + + Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special + features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling + files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on. Emacs Lisp is + closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands + are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs, + and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables. + + This manual describes Emacs Lisp. Generally speaking, the earlier + chapters describe features of Emacs Lisp that have counterparts in + many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that + are peculiar to Emacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing. + + \vfil + + \leftskip=0pt + \rightskip=0pt + + \parfillskip=0pt\hfil% + ISBN-1-882114-04-3 + + \vskip.5in + }% + \setbox0=\vbox to1in{ + \vfil\hskip.5in + {\price FSF $\bullet$ US\$25.00 $\bullet$ Printed in USA} + \vskip.5in + }% + \rotl0% +} + +\eject\bye |
