;;; Commentary:
;;
;;   The emacs lisp manual has a nice chapter on how to write
;; documentation strings.  Many stylistic suggestions are fairly
;; deterministic and easy to check for syntactically, but also easy
;; to forget.  The main checkdoc engine will perform the stylistic
;; checks needed to make sure these styles are remembered.
;;
;; There are two ways to use checkdoc:
;;   1) Periodically use `checkdoc'. `checkdoc-current-buffer' and
;;      `checkdoc-defun' to check your documentation.
;;   2) Use `checkdoc-minor-mode' to automatically check your
;;      documentation whenever you evaluate lisp code with C-M-x
;;      or [menu-bar emacs-lisp eval-buffer].  Additional key-bindings
;;      are also provided under C-c ? KEY
;;        (require 'checkdoc)
;;        (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook
;;	             '(lambda () (checkdoc-minor-mode 1)))
;;
;; Auto-fixing:
;;
;;   There are four classifications of style errors in terms of how
;; easy they are to fix.  They are simple, complex, really complex,
;; and impossible.  (Impossible really means that checkdoc does not
;; have a fixing routine yet.)  Typically white-space errors are
;; classified as simple, and are auto-fixed by default.  Typographic
;; changes are considered complex, and the user is asked if they want
;; the problem fixed before checkdoc makes the change.  These changes
;; can be done without asking if `checkdoc-autofix-flag' is properly
;; set.  Potentially redundant changes are considered really complex,
;; and the user is always asked before a change is inserted.  The
;; variable `checkdoc-autofix-flag' controls how these types of errors
;; are fixed.
;;
;; Spell checking doc-strings:
;;
;;   The variable `checkdoc-spellcheck-documentation-flag' can be set
;; to customize how spell checking is to be done.  Since spell
;; checking can be quite slow, you can optimize how best you want your
;; checking done.  The default is 'defun, which spell checks each time
;; `checkdoc-defun' or `checkdoc-eval-defun' is used.  Setting to nil
;; prevents spell checking during normal usage.
;;   Setting this variable to nil does not mean you cannot take
;; advantage of the spell checking.  You can instead use the
;; interactive functions `checkdoc-ispell-*' to check the spelling of
;; your documentation.
;;   There is a list of lisp-specific words which checkdoc will
;; install into ispell on the fly, but only if ispell is not already
;; running.  Use `ispell-kill-ispell' to make checkdoc restart it with
;; these words enabled.
;;
;; Checking parameters
;;
;;   You might not always want a function to have it's parameters listed
;; in order.  When this is the case, put the following comment just in
;; front of the documentation string: "; checkdoc-order: nil"  This
;; overrides the value of `checkdoc-arguments-in-order-flag'.
;;
;;   If you specifically wish to avoid mentioning a parameter of a
;; function in the doc string (such as a hidden parameter, or a
;; parameter which is very obvious like events), you can have checkdoc
;; skip looking for it by putting the following comment just in front
;; of the documentation string: "; checkdoc-params: (args go here)"
;;
;; Adding your own checks:
;;
;;   You can experiment with adding your own checks by setting the
;; hooks `checkdoc-style-hooks' and `checkdoc-comment-style-hooks'.
;; Return a string which is the error you wish to report.  The cursor
;; position should be preserved.
;;
;; This file requires lisp-mnt (lisp maintenance routines) for the
;; comment checkers.
;;
;; Requires custom for emacs v20.

;;; Change log:
;; 0.1   Initial revision
;; 0.2   Fixed comments in this file to match the emacs lisp standards.
;;       Added new doc checks for: variable-flags, function arguments
;;       Added autofix functionality for white-space, and quoted variables.
;;       Unquoted symbols are allowed after ( character. (Sample code)
;;       Check for use of `? ' at end of line and warn.
;;       Check for spaces at end of lines for whole file, or one defun.
;;       Check for comments standards, including headinds like Code:
;;         and use of triple semicolons versus double semicolons
;;       Check that interactive functions have a doc-string.  Optionally
;;         set `checkdoc-force-docstrings-flag' to non-nil to make all
;;         definitions have a doc-string.
;; 0.3   Regexp changse for accuracy on var checking and param checking.
;;       lm-verify check expanded to each sub-call w/ more descriptive
;;         messages, and two autofix-options.
;;       Suggestions/patches from Christoph Wedler <wedler@fmi.uni-passau.de>
;;         XEmacs support w/ extents/overlays.
;;         Better Whitespace finding regexps
;;         Added `checkdoc-arguments-in-order-flag' to optionally turn off
;;           warnings of arguments that do not appear in order in doc
;;           strings.
;; 0.4   New fix routine when two lines can be joined to make the
;;         first line a comlete sentence.
;;       Added ispell code.  Use `checkdoc-spellcheck-documentation-flag'
;;         to enable or disable this test in certain contexts.
;;       Added ispell interface functions `checkdoc-ispell',
;;         `checkdoc-ispell-continue', `checkdoc-ispell-defun'
;;         `checkdoc-ispell-interactive', `checkdoc-ispell-current-buffer'.
;;       Loop through all potential unquoted symbols.
;;       Auto-fixing no longer screws up the "end" of the doc-string.
;;       Maintain a different syntax table when examining arguments.
;;       Autofix enabled for parameters which are not uppercase iff they
;;         occur in lower case in the doc-string.
;;       Autofix enable if there is no Code: label.
;;       The comment text ";; checkdoc-order: nil|t" inside a defun to
;;         enable or disable the checking of argument order for one defun.
;;       The comment text ";; checkdoc-params: (arg1 arg2)" inside a defun
;;         (Such as just before the doc string) will list ARG1 and ARG2 as
;;         being paramters that need not show up in the doc string.
;;       Brought in suggestions from Jari Aalto <jaalto@tre.tele.nokia.fi>
;;         More robustness (comments in/around doc-strings/ arg lists)
;;         Don't offer to `quote'afy symbols or keystroke representations
;;           that are in lists (sample code) This added new fn
;;           `checkdoc-in-sample-code-p'
;;         Added more comments near the ;;; comment check about why it
;;           is being done.  ;;; Are also now allowed inside a defun.
;;           This added the function `checkdoc-outside-major-sexp'
;;         Added `checkdoc-interactive' which permits interactive
;;           perusal of document warnings, and editing of strings.
;;         Fixed `checkdoc-defun-info' to be more robust when creating
;;           the paramter list.
;;         Added list of verbs in the wrong tense, and their fixes.
;;         Added defconst/subst/advice to checked items.
;;         Added `checkdoc-style-hooks' and `checkdoc-comment-style-hooks'
;;           for adding in user tests.
;;         Added `checkdoc-continue', a version of checkdoc that continues
;;           from point.
;;         [X]Emacs 20 support for extended characters.
;;         Only check comments on real files.
;;         Put `checkdoc' and `checkdoc-continue' into keymap/menu
;; 0.4.1 Made `custom' friendly.
;;       C-m in warning buffer also goes to error.
;;       Shrink error buffer to size of text.
;;       Added `checkdoc-tripple-semi-comment-check-flag'.
;;       `checkdoc-spellcheck-documentation-flag' off by default.
;;       Re-sorted check order so white space is removed before adding a .
;; 0.4.2 Added some more comments in the commentary.
;;       You can now `quote' symbols that look like keystrokes
;;       When spell checking, meta variables can end in `th' or `s'.
;; 0.4.3 Fixed bug where multi-function checking skips defuns that
;;         have comments before the doc-string.
;;       Fixed bug where keystrokes were identified from a variable name
;;         like ASSOC-P.

;;; TO DO:
;;   Hook into the byte compiler on a defun/defver level to generate
;;     warnings in the byte-compiler's warning/error buffer.
;;   Better ways to override more typical `eval' functions.  Advice
;;     might be good but hard to turn on/off as a minor mode.
;;
;;; Maybe Do:
;;   Code sweep checks for "forbidden functions", proper use of hooks,
;;     proper keybindings, and other items from the manual that are
;;     not specifically docstring related.  Would this even be useful?
