Most of the GNU Emacs text editor is written in the programming language
|
|
called Emacs Lisp. You can write new code in Emacs Lisp and install it as an
|
|
extension to the editor. However, Emacs Lisp is more than a mere "extension
|
|
language"; it is a full computer programming language in its own right. You
|
|
can use it as you would any other programming language.
|
|
|
|
Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special features
|
|
for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling files,
|
|
buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on. Emacs Lisp is closely integrated
|
|
with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands are functions that can
|
|
also conveniently be called from Lisp programs, and parameters for
|
|
customization are ordinary Lisp variables.
|
|
|
|
This manual attempts to be a full description of Emacs Lisp. For a
|
|
beginner's introduction to Emacs Lisp, see An Introduction to Emacs Lisp
|
|
Programming, by Bob Chassell, also published by the Free Software
|
|
Foundation. This manual presumes considerable familiarity with the use of
|
|
Emacs for editing; see The GNU Emacs Manual for this basic information.
