+;; This package is distributed under the terms of the
+;; GNU General Public License, Version 3.
+;; You should have a copy of the GPL with your version of
+;; GNU Emacs or the Texinfo distribution.
+;;
+;;
+;; This package generates Texinfo source fragments from Emacs
+;; docstrings. This avoids documenting functions and variables
+;; in more than one place, and automatically adds Texinfo markup
+;; to docstrings.
+;;
+;; It relies heavily on you following the Elisp documentation
+;; conventions to produce sensible output, check the Elisp manual
+;; for details. In brief:
+;;
+;; * The first line of a docstring should be a complete sentence.
+;; * Arguments to functions should be written in upper case: ARG1..ARGN
+;; * User options (variables users may want to set) should have docstrings
+;; beginning with an asterisk.
+;;
+;; Usage:
+;;
+;; Write comments of the form:
+;;
+;; @c TEXI DOCSTRING MAGIC: my-package-function-or-variable-name
+;;
+;; In your texi source, mypackage.texi. From within an Emacs session
+;; where my-package is loaded, visit mypackage.texi and run
+;; M-x texi-docstring-magic to update all of the documentation strings.
+;;
+;; This will insert @defopt, @deffn and the like underneath the
+;; magic comment strings.
+;;
+;; The default value for user options will be printed.
+;;
+;; Symbols are recognized if they are defined for faces, functions,
+;; or variables (in that order).
+;;
+;; Automatic markup rules:
+;;
+;; 1. Indented lines are gathered into @lisp environment.
+;; 2. Pieces of text `stuff' or surrounded in quotes marked up with @samp.
+;; 3. Words *emphasized* are made @strong{emphasized}
+;; 4. Words sym-bol which are symbols become @code{sym-bol}.
+;; 5. Upper cased words ARG corresponding to arguments become @var{arg}.
+;; In fact, you can any word longer than three letters, so that
+;; metavariables can be used easily.
+;; FIXME: to escape this, use `ARG'
+;; 6. Words 'sym which are lisp-quoted are marked with @code{'sym}.
+;;
+;; -----
+;;
+;; Useful key binding when writing Texinfo:
+;;
+;; (define-key TeXinfo-mode-map "C-cC-d" 'texi-docstring-magic-insert-magic)
+;;
+;; -----
+;;
+;; Useful enhancements to do:
+;;
+;; * Use customize properties (e.g. group, simple types)
+;; * Look for a "texi-docstring" property for symbols
+;; so TeXInfo can be defined directly in case automatic markup
+;; goes badly wrong.
+;; * Add tags to special comments so that user can specify face,
+;; function, or variable binding for a symbol in case more than
+;; one binding exists.
