28 ;;; Commentary:
29
30 ;; This library adds some services to Emacs-Lisp editing mode.
31 ;;
32 ;; First, it knows about the header conventions for library packages.
33 ;; One entry point supports generating synopses from a library directory.
34 ;; Another can be used to check for missing headers in library files.
35 ;;
36 ;; Another entry point automatically addresses bug mail to a package's
37 ;; maintainer or author.
38
39 ;; This file can be loaded by your lisp-mode-hook. Have it (require 'lisp-mnt)
40
41 ;; This file is an example of the header conventions. Note the following
42 ;; features:
43 ;;
44 ;; * Header line --- makes it possible to extract a one-line summary of
45 ;; the package's uses automatically for use in library synopses, KWIC
46 ;; indexes and the like.
47 ;;
48 ;; Format is three semicolons, followed by the filename, followed by
49 ;; three dashes, followed by the summary. All fields space-separated.
50 ;;
51 ;; * A blank line
52 ;;
53 ;; * Copyright line, which looks more or less like this:
54 ;;
55 ;; ;; Copyright (C) 1999, 2000, 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
56 ;;
57 ;; * A blank line
58 ;;
59 ;; * Author line --- contains the name and net address of at least
60 ;; the principal author.
61 ;;
62 ;; If there are multiple authors, they should be listed on continuation
63 ;; lines led by ;;<TAB>, like this:
64 ;;
65 ;; ;; Author: Ashwin Ram <Ram-Ashwin@cs.yale.edu>
66 ;; ;; Dave Sill <de5@ornl.gov>
67 ;; ;; David Lawrence <tale@pawl.rpi.edu>
68 ;; ;; Noah Friedman <friedman@ai.mit.edu>
69 ;; ;; Joe Wells <jbw@maverick.uswest.com>
70 ;; ;; Dave Brennan <brennan@hal.com>
71 ;; ;; Eric Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>
72 ;;
73 ;; This field may have some special values; notably "FSF", meaning
74 ;; "Free Software Foundation".
75 ;;
76 ;; * Maintainer line --- should be a single name/address as in the Author
77 ;; line, or an address only, or the string "FSF". If there is no maintainer
78 ;; line, the person(s) in the Author field are presumed to be it. The example
79 ;; in this file is mildly bogus because the maintainer line is redundant.
80 ;; The idea behind these two fields is to be able to write a Lisp function
81 ;; that does "send mail to the author" without having to mine the name out by
82 ;; hand. Please be careful about surrounding the network address with <> if
83 ;; there's also a name in the field.
84 ;;
85 ;; * Created line --- optional, gives the original creation date of the
86 ;; file. For historical interest, basically.
87 ;;
88 ;; * Version line --- intended to give the reader a clue if they're looking
89 ;; at a different version of the file than the one they're accustomed to. This
90 ;; may be an RCS or SCCS header.
91 ;;
92 ;; * Adapted-By line --- this is for FSF's internal use. The person named
93 ;; in this field was the one responsible for installing and adapting the
94 ;; package for the distribution. (This file doesn't have one because the
95 ;; author *is* one of the maintainers.)
96 ;;
97 ;; * Keywords line --- used by the finder code (now under construction)
98 ;; for finding Emacs Lisp code related to a topic.
99 ;;
100 ;; * X-Bogus-Bureaucratic-Cruft line --- this is a joke and an example
101 ;; of a comment header. Headers starting with `X-' should never be used
102 ;; for any real purpose; this is the way to safely add random headers
103 ;; without invoking the wrath of any program.
104 ;;
105 ;; * Commentary line --- enables Lisp code to find the developer's and
106 ;; maintainers' explanations of the package internals.
107 ;;
108 ;; * Change log line --- optional, exists to terminate the commentary
109 ;; section and start a change-log part, if one exists.
110 ;;
111 ;; * Code line --- exists so Lisp can know where commentary and/or
112 ;; change-log sections end.
113 ;;
114 ;; * Footer line --- marks end-of-file so it can be distinguished from
115 ;; an expanded formfeed or the results of truncation.
116
117 ;;; Change Log:
118
119 ;; Tue Jul 14 23:44:17 1992 ESR
120 ;; * Created.
