1 | This directory contains the source of the "Introduction to programming |
2 | in Emacs Lisp" written by Robert J. Chassell, bob@gnu.org. This | |
3 | manual is an elementary introduction to programming in Emacs Lisp for | |
4 | people who are not programmers, and who are not necessarily interested | |
5 | in programming, but who do want to customize or extend their computing | |
6 | environment. | |

8 | This second edition of 2001 Nov 20 updates the previous editions to | |
9 | GNU Emacs 21. | |
10 | ||
11 | The Texinfo source file `emacs-lisp-intro.texi', formats without | |
177c0ea7 | 12 | error using TeX version 3.14159, `kpathsea' version 3.3.1, |
e8ea3caf EZ |
13 | `texinfo.tex' version 2001-05-24.08, and `makeinfo' version 4.0b. |

15 | Also, this tar file contains the following optional Encapsulated Post | |
16 | Script figures. | |

29 | See the beginning of the `emacs-lisp-intro.texi' file for appropriate | |
30 | settings. These figures are not necessary; they are merely nice to | |
31 | look at --- without them you get the same figures printed with ASCII | |
32 | characters. | |
33 | ||
34 | Whether and how you print PostScript depends on your site. You not | |
35 | only need to set 'print-postscript-figures' before creating the .dvi | |
36 | file, but then must convert the .dvi file to .ps with a 'dvips' or | |
37 | equivalent command. | |
38 | ||
39 | On some systems you will see an error message when `psfig.tex' is | |
40 | loaded for the last two .eps files: | |
41 | ||
42 | ! No room for a new \write . | |
43 | ||
44 | If this happens, try `epsf.tex' instead of `psfig.tex', or try typing | |
45 | RET at the error; the formatting may continue successfully. | |
46 | ||
47 | Or else find the section that says: | |
48 | ||
49 | @c !!! Clear print-postscript-figures if the computer formatting this | |
50 | @c document is too small and cannot handle all the diagrams and figures. | |
51 | @c clear print-postscript-figures | |
52 | ||
53 | and change the file so it reads: @clear print-postscript-figures | |
54 | This will prevent TeX from attempting to load the last few .eps files. | |
55 | ||
56 | You will find additional instructions on formatting in the beginning | |
57 | of the Texinfo file 'emacs-lisp-intro.texi'. Best Wishes! | |
