;;; Commentary:

;;  Mode Description
;;
;;	TODO is a major mode for EMACS which offers functionality to
;;	treat most lines in one buffer as a list of items one has to
;;	do.  There are facilities to add new items, which are
;;	categorized, to edit or even delete items from the buffer.
;;	The buffer contents are currently compatible with the diary,
;;	so that the list of todo-items will show up in the FANCY diary
;;	mode.
;;
;;	Notice: Besides the major mode, this file also exports the
;;	function `todo-show' which will change to the one specific
;;	TODO file that has been specified in the todo-file-do
;;	variable.  If this file does not conform to the TODO mode
;;	conventions, the todo-show function will add the appropriate
;;	header and footer.  I don't anticipate this to cause much
;;	grief, but be warned, in case you attempt to read a plain text
;;	file.
;;
;;  Preface, Quickstart Installation
;;
;;      To get this to work, make Emacs execute the line
;;
;;          (autoload 'todo-mode "todo-mode"
;;                    "Major mode for editing TODO lists." t)
;;          (autoload 'todo-show "todo-mode"
;;                    "Show TODO items." t)
;;          (autoload 'todo-insert-item "todo-mode"
;;                    "Add TODO item." t)
;;
;;      You may now enter new items by typing "M-x todo-insert-item",
;;      or enter your TODO list file by typing "M-x todo-show".
;;
;;      The TODO list file has a special format and some auxiliary
;;      information, which will be added by the todo-show function if
;;      it attempts to visit an un-initialized file.  Hence it is
;;      recommended to use the todo-show function for the first time,
;;      in order to initialize the file, but it is not necessary
;;      afterwards.
;;
;;      As these commands are quite long to type, I would recommend
;;      the addition of two bindings to your to your global keymap.  I
;;      personally have the following in my initialization file:
;;
;;          (global-set-key "\C-ct" 'todo-show)  ; switch to TODO buffer
;;	    (global-set-key "\C-ci" 'todo-insert-item) ; insert new item
;;
;;      Note, however, that this recommendation has prompted some
;;      criticism, since the keys C-c LETTER are reserved for user
;;      functions.  I believe my recommendation is acceptable, since
;;      the Emacs Lisp Manual *Tips* section also details that the
;;      mode itself should not bind any functions to those keys.  The
;;      express aim of the above two bindings is to work outside the
;;      mode, which doesn't need the show function and offers a
;;      different binding for the insert function.  They serve as
;;      shortcuts and are not even needed (since the TODO mode will be
;;      entered by visiting the TODO file, and later by switching to
;;      its buffer).
;;
;;      If you are an advanced user of this package, please consult
;;      the whole source code for autoloads, because there are several
;;      extensions that are not explicitly listed in the above quick
;;      installation.
;;
;;  Pre-Requisites
;;
;;      This package will require the following packages to be
;;      available on the load-path:
;;
;;          time-stamp
;;          easymenu
;;
;;  Operation
;;
;;	You will have the following facilities available:
;;
;;	    M-x todo-show   will enter the todo list screen, here type
;;
;;	    +  to go to next category
;;          -  to go to previous category
;;          d  to file the current entry, including a
;;            			    comment and timestamp
;;          e  to edit the current entry
;;          E  to edit a multi-line entry
;;          f  to file the current entry, including a
;;            			    comment and timestamp
;;          i  to insert a new entry, with prefix, omit category
;;          I  to insert a new entry at current cursor position
;;	    j  jump to category
;;          k  to kill the current entry
;;          l  to lower the current entry's priority
;;          n  for the next entry
;;          p  for the previous entry
;;	    P  print
;;          q  to save the list and exit the buffer
;;          r  to raise the current entry's priority
;;          s  to save the list
;;          S  to save the list of top priorities
;;	    t  show top priority items for each category
;;
;;	When you add a new entry, you are asked for the text and then
;;	for the category.  I for example have categories for things
;;	that I want to do in the office (like mail my mum), that I
;;	want to do in town (like buy cornflakes) and things I want to
;;	do at home (move my suitcases).  The categories can be
;;	selected with the cursor keys and if you type in the name of a
;;	category which didn't exist before, an empty category of the
;;	desired name will be added and filled with the new entry.
;;
;;  Configuration
;;
;;  Variable todo-prefix
;;
;;	I would like to recommend that you use the prefix "*/*" (by
;;	leaving the variable 'todo-prefix' untouched) so that the
;;	diary displays each entry every day.
;;
;;	To understand what I mean, please read the documentation that
;;	goes with the calendar since that will tell you how you can
;;	set up the fancy diary display and use the #include command to
;;	include your todo list file as part of your diary.
;;
;;	If you have the diary package set up to usually display more
;;	than one day's entries at once, consider using
;;
;;	    "&%%(equal (calendar-current-date) date)"
;;
;;	as the value of `todo-prefix'.  Please note that this may slow
;;	down the processing of your diary file some.
;;
;;      Carsten Dominik <dominik@strw.LeidenUniv.nl> suggested that
;;
;;          "&%%(todo-cp)"
;;
;;      might be nicer and to that effect a function has been declared
;;      further down in the code.  You may wish to auto-load this.
;;
;;      Carsten also writes that that *changing* the prefix after the
;;      todo list is already established is not as simple as changing
;;      the variable - the todo files have to be changed by hand.
;;
;;  Variable todo-file-do
;;
;;	This variable is fairly self-explanatory.  You have to store
;;	your TODO list somewhere.  This variable tells the package
;;	where to go and find this file.
;;
;;  Variable todo-file-done
;;
;;	Even when you're done, you may wish to retain the entries.
;;	Given that they're timestamped and you are offered to add a
;;	comment, this can make a useful diary of past events.  It will
;;	even blend in with the EMACS diary package.  So anyway, this
;;	variable holds the name of the file for the filed todo-items.
;;
;;  Variable todo-file-top
;;
;;      File storing the top priorities of your TODO list when
;;      todo-save-top-priorities is non-nil.  Nice to include in your
;;      diary instead of the complete TODO list.
;;
;;  Variable todo-mode-hook
;;
;;	Just like other modes, too, this mode offers to call your
;;	functions before it goes about its business.  This variable
;;	will be inspected for any functions you may wish to have
;;	called once the other TODO mode preparations have been
;;	completed.
;;
;;  Variable todo-insert-threshold
;;
;;     	Another nifty feature is the insertion accuracy.  If you have
;;     	8 items in your TODO list, then you may get asked 4 questions
;;     	by the binary insertion algorithm.  However, you may not
;;     	really have a need for such accurate priorities amongst your
;;     	TODO items.  If you now think about the binary insertion
;;     	halving the size of the window each time, then the threshold
;;     	is the window size at which it will stop.  If you set the
;;     	threshold to zero, the upper and lower bound will coincide at
;;     	the end of the loop and you will insert your item just before
;;     	that point.  If you set the threshold to, e.g. 8, it will stop
;;     	as soon as the window size drops below that amount and will
;;     	insert the item in the approximate center of that window.  I
;;     	got the idea for this feature after reading a very helpful
;;     	e-mail reply from Trey Jackson <trey@cs.berkeley.edu> who
;;     	corrected some of my awful coding and pointed me towards some
;;     	good reading.  Thanks Trey!
;;
;;  Things to do
;;
;;      These originally were my ideas, but now also include all the
;;      suggestions that I included before forgetting them:
;;
;;      o   Fancy fonts for todo/top-priority buffer
;;      o   Remove todo-prefix option in todo-top-priorities
;;      o   Rename category
;;      o   Move entry from one category to another one
;;      o   Entries which both have the generic */* prefix and a
;;          "deadline" entry which are understood by diary, indicating
;;          an event (unless marked by &)
;;      o   The optional COUNT variable of todo-forward-item should be
;;          applied to the other functions performing similar tasks
;;      o   Modularization could be done for repeated elements of
;;          the code, like the completing-read lines of code.
;;	o   license / version function
;;	o   export to diary file
;;	o   todo-report-bug
;;	o   GNATS support
;;	o   elide multiline (as in bbdb, or, to a lesser degree, in
;;          outline mode)
;;	o   rewrite complete package to store data as Lisp objects
;;          and have display modes for display, for diary export,
;;          etc.  (Richard Stallman pointed out this is a bad idea)
;;      o   so base todo-mode.el on generic-mode.el instead
;;
;;  History and Gossip
;;
;;	Many thanks to all the ones who have contributed to the
;;	evolution of this package!  I hope I have listed all of you
;;	somewhere in the documentation or at least in the RCS history!
;;
;;	Enjoy this package and express your gratitude by sending nice
;;	things to my parents' address!
