27;; End User Interface
28;; ==================
29;; The variable `mail-user-agent' contains a symbol indicating which
30;; Emacs mail package end users would like to use to compose outgoing
72fe4615
RS
31;; mail. See that variable for details (it is no longer defined in
32;; this file).

34;; Lisp Package Authors
35;; ====================
72fe4615
RS
36;; reporter.el was written primarily for Emacs Lisp package authors so
37;; that their users can more easily report bugs. When invoked,
38;; `reporter-submit-bug-report' will set up an outgoing mail buffer
39;; with the appropriate bug report address, including a lisp
40;; expression the maintainer of the package can evaluate to completely
41;; reproduce the environment in which the bug was observed (e.g. by
42;; using `eval-last-sexp'). This package proved especially useful
43;; during my development of CC Mode, which is highly dependent on its
c71437cf 44;; configuration variables.

74string.
4f40f169 75
87617309 76Default behavior is to not prompt (i.e. nil). If you want reporter to
c71437cf 77prompt, you should `let' bind this variable before calling

83When non-nil, this must be a list of variable symbols. When a
84variable containing a list value is formatted in the bug report mail
85buffer, it normally is compacted so that its value fits one the fewest
86number of lines. If the variable's symbol appears in this list, its
87value is printed in a more verbose style, specifically, one elemental
88sexp per line.
89
90Note that this variable is not buffer-local so you should never just

214VARLIST is the list of variables to dump. Each element in
215VARLIST can be a variable symbol, or a cons cell. If a symbol,
216this will be passed to `reporter-dump-variable' for insertion
217into the mail buffer. If a cons cell, the car must be a variable
218symbol and the cdr must be a function which will be `funcall'd
219with arguments the symbol and the mail buffer being composed. Use
220this to write your own custom variable value printers for
221specific variables.
222
223Note that the global variable `reporter-eval-buffer' will be bound to
224the buffer in which `reporter-submit-bug-report' was invoked. If you
225want to print the value of a buffer local variable, you should wrap
226the `eval' call in your custom printer inside a `set-buffer' (and
227probably a `save-excursion'). `reporter-dump-variable' handles this
228properly.
