e5167999 | 24 | ;;; Commentary: |

26 | ;;; Abstract: | |
27 | ;;; | |
28 | ;;; The following defines an association list for files to be | |
29 | ;;; automatically inserted when a new file is created, and a function | |
30 | ;;; which automatically inserts these files; the idea is to insert | |
31 | ;;; default files much as the mode is automatically set using | |
32 | ;;; auto-mode-alist. | |
33 | ;;; | |
34 | ;;; The auto-insert-alist consists of dotted pairs of | |
35 | ;;; ( REGEXP . FILENAME ) where REGEXP is a regular expression, and | |
36 | ;;; FILENAME is the file name of a file which is to be inserted into | |
37 | ;;; all new files matching the regular expression with which it is | |
38 | ;;; paired. | |
39 | ;;; | |
40 | ;;; To use: | |
41 | ;;; load autoinsert.el | |
42 | ;;; setq auto-insert-directory to an appropriate value, which | |
43 | ;;; must end in "/" | |
