26 ;;; Commentary:
27
28 ;; This package provides Emacs support for Octave.
29 ;; It defines Octave mode, a major mode for editing
30 ;; Octave code.
31
32 ;; The file octave-inf.el contains code for interacting with an inferior
33 ;; Octave process using comint.
34
35 ;; See the documentation of `octave-mode' and
36 ;; `run-octave' for further information on usage and customization.

538 "Major mode for editing Octave code.
539
540 This mode makes it easier to write Octave code by helping with
541 indentation, doing some of the typing for you (with Abbrev mode) and by
542 showing keywords, comments, strings, etc. in different faces (with
543 Font Lock mode on terminals that support it).
544
545 Octave itself is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
546 computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for
547 solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically. Function definitions
548 can also be stored in files, and it can be used in a batch mode (which
549 is why you need this mode!).
550
551 The latest released version of Octave is always available via anonymous
552 ftp from ftp.octave.org in the directory `/pub/octave'. Complete
553 source and binaries for several popular systems are available.
554
555 Type \\[list-abbrevs] to display the built-in abbrevs for Octave keywords.

561
562 Variables you can use to customize Octave mode
563 ==============================================
564
565 `octave-auto-indent'
566 Non-nil means indent current line after a semicolon or space.
567 Default is nil.
568
569 `octave-auto-newline'
570 Non-nil means auto-insert a newline and indent after a semicolon.
571 Default is nil.
572
573 `octave-blink-matching-block'
574 Non-nil means show matching begin of block when inserting a space,
575 newline or semicolon after an else or end keyword. Default is t.
576
577 `octave-block-offset'
578 Extra indentation applied to statements in block structures.
579 Default is 2.
580
581 `octave-continuation-offset'
582 Extra indentation applied to Octave continuation lines.
583 Default is 4.
584
585 `octave-continuation-string'
586 String used for Octave continuation lines.
587 Default is a backslash.
588
589 `octave-send-echo-input'
590 Non-nil means always display `inferior-octave-buffer' after sending a
591 command to the inferior Octave process.
592
593 `octave-send-line-auto-forward'
594 Non-nil means always go to the next unsent line of Octave code after
595 sending a line to the inferior Octave process.
596
597 `octave-send-echo-input'
598 Non-nil means echo input sent to the inferior Octave process.
599
600 Turning on Octave mode runs the hook `octave-mode-hook'.
601
602 To begin using this mode for all `.m' files that you edit, add the
603 following lines to your `.emacs' file:
604
605 (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(\"\\\\.m\\\\'\" . octave-mode))
606
607 To automatically turn on the abbrev and auto-fill features,
608 add the following lines to your `.emacs' file as well:
609
610 (add-hook 'octave-mode-hook
611 (lambda ()
612 (abbrev-mode 1)
613 (auto-fill-mode 1)))
614
615 To submit a problem report, enter \\[octave-submit-bug-report] from \
616 an Octave mode buffer.
617 This automatically sets up a mail buffer with version information
618 already added. You just need to add a description of the problem,
619 including a reproducible test case and send the message."
