"Octave"
557 "Major mode for editing Octave code.
559 This mode makes it easier to write Octave code by helping with
560 indentation, doing some of the typing for you (with Abbrev mode) and by
561 showing keywords, comments, strings, etc. in different faces (with
562 Font Lock mode on terminals that support it).
564 Octave itself is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
565 computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for
566 solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically. Function definitions
567 can also be stored in files, and it can be used in a batch mode (which
568 is why you need this mode!).
570 The latest released version of Octave is always available via anonymous
571 ftp from ftp.octave.org in the directory `/pub/octave'. Complete
572 source and binaries for several popular systems are available.
574 Type \\[list-abbrevs] to display the built-in abbrevs for Octave keywords.
581 Variables you can use to customize Octave mode
582 ==============================================
585 Non-nil means indent current line after a semicolon or space.
588 `octave-auto-newline'
589 Non-nil means auto-insert a newline and indent after a semicolon.
592 `octave-blink-matching-block'
593 Non-nil means show matching begin of block when inserting a space,
594 newline or semicolon after an else or end keyword. Default is t.
596 `octave-block-offset'
597 Extra indentation applied to statements in block structures.
600 `octave-continuation-offset'
601 Extra indentation applied to Octave continuation lines.
604 `octave-continuation-string'
605 String used for Octave continuation lines.
606 Default is a backslash.
608 `octave-send-echo-input'
609 Non-nil means always display `inferior-octave-buffer' after sending a
610 command to the inferior Octave process.
612 `octave-send-line-auto-forward'
613 Non-nil means always go to the next unsent line of Octave code after
614 sending a line to the inferior Octave process.
616 `octave-send-echo-input'
617 Non-nil means echo input sent to the inferior Octave process.
619 Turning on Octave mode runs the hook `octave-mode-hook'.
621 To begin using this mode for all `.m' files that you edit, add the
622 following lines to your `.emacs' file:
624 (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(\"\\\\.m\\\\'\" . octave-mode))
626 To automatically turn on the abbrev and auto-fill features,
627 add the following lines to your `.emacs' file as well:
629 (add-hook 'octave-mode-hook
634 To submit a problem report, enter \\[octave-submit-bug-report] from \
635 an Octave mode buffer.
636 This automatically sets up a mail buffer with version information
637 already added. You just need to add a description of the problem,
638 including a reproducible test case and send the message."
