;; INTRODUCTION:
;; Generic-mode is a meta-mode which can be used to define small modes
-;; which provide basic comment and font-lock support. These modes are
+;; which provide basic comment and font-lock support. These modes are
;; intended for the many configuration files and such which are too small
;; for a "real" mode, but still have a regular syntax, comment characters
;; and the like.
;;
;; Each generic mode can define the following:
;;
-;; * List of comment-characters. The entries in this list should be
+;; * List of comment-characters. The entries in this list should be
;; either a character, a one or two character string or a cons pair.
;; If the entry is a character or a one-character string
;; LIMITATIONS: Emacs does not support comment strings of more than
;; two characters in length.
;;
-;; * List of keywords to font-lock. Each keyword should be a string.
+;; * List of keywords to font-lock. Each keyword should be a string.
;; If you have additional keywords which should be highlighted in a face
-;; different from 'font-lock-keyword-face', you can use the convenience
-;; function 'generic-make-keywords-list' (which see), and add the
+;; different from `font-lock-keyword-face', you can use the convenience
+;; function `generic-make-keywords-list' (which see), and add the
;; result to the following list:
;;
-;; * Additional expressions to font-lock. This should be a list of
+;; * Additional expressions to font-lock. This should be a list of
;; expressions, each of which should be of the same form
-;; as those in 'font-lock-defaults-alist'.
+;; as those in `font-lock-defaults-alist'.
;;
;; * List of regular expressions to be placed in auto-mode-alist.
;;
;;
;; DEFINING NEW GENERIC MODES:
;;
-;; Use the 'define-generic-mode' function to define new modes.
+;; Use the `define-generic-mode' function to define new modes.
;; For example:
;;
-;; (require 'generic-mode)
+;; (require 'generic)
;; (define-generic-mode 'foo-generic-mode
;; (list ?% )
;; (list "keyword")
;; (list "\.FOO")
;; (list 'foo-setup-function))
;;
-;; defines a new generic-mode 'foo-generic-mode', which has '%' as a
+;; defines a new generic-mode `foo-generic-mode', which has '%' as a
;; comment character, and "keyword" as a keyword. When files which end in
;; '.FOO' are loaded, Emacs will go into foo-generic-mode and call
-;; foo-setup-function. You can also use the function 'foo-generic-mode'
+;; foo-setup-function. You can also use the function `foo-generic-mode'
;; (which is interactive) to put a buffer into foo-generic-mode.
;;
;; AUTOMATICALLY ENTERING GENERIC MODE:
;; Generic-mode provides a hook which automatically puts a
;; file into default-generic-mode if the first few lines of a file in
;; fundamental mode start with a hash comment character. To disable
-;; this functionality, set the variable 'generic-use-find-file-hook'
+;; this functionality, set the variable `generic-use-find-file-hook'
;; to nil BEFORE loading generic-mode. See the variables
-;; 'generic-lines-to-scan' and 'generic-find-file-regexp' for customization
+;; `generic-lines-to-scan' and `generic-find-file-regexp' for customization
;; options.
;;
;; GOTCHAS:

-;; Be careful that your font-lock definitions are correct. Getting them
+;; Be careful that your font-lock definitions are correct. Getting them
;; wrong can cause emacs to continually attempt to fontify! This problem
;; is not specific to generic-mode.
