;;; 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 four ways to use checkdoc:
;;
;;   1) Use `flymake-mode'.  Type `M-x flymake-mode' in any Emacs Lisp
;;      buffer; the checkdoc back-end is enabled by default.
;;
;;   2) Periodically use `checkdoc' or `checkdoc-current-buffer'.
;;      The `checkdoc' command is a more interactive version of
;;      `checkdoc-current-buffer'.
;;
;;   3) 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
;;        (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'checkdoc-minor-mode)
;;
;;   4) Use `checkdoc-ispell' to spellcheck docstrings interactively.
;;
;; Using `checkdoc':
;;
;;   Most users will probably use checkdoc through `flymake'.  The
;; commands `checkdoc' and `checkdoc-ispell' are the top-level entry
;; points to all of the different checks that are available.  It
;; breaks examination of your Lisp file into four sections (comments,
;; documentation, messages, and spacing) and indicates its current
;; state in a status buffer.
;;
;;   The Comments check examines your headers, footers, and
;; various tags (such as "Code:") to make sure that your code is ready
;; for easy integration into existing systems.
;;
;;   The Documentation check deals with documentation strings
;; and their elements that help make Emacs easier to use.
;;
;;   The Messages check ensures that the strings displayed in the
;; minibuffer by some commands (such as `error' and `y-or-n-p')
;; are consistent with the Emacs environment.
;;
;;   The Spacing check cleans up white-space at the end of lines.
;;
;;   The interface while working with documentation and messages is
;; slightly different when being run in the interactive mode.  The
;; interface offers several options, including the ability to skip to
;; the next error, or back up to previous errors.  Auto-fixing is
;; turned off at this stage, but you can use the `f' or `F' key to fix
;; a given error (if the fix is available).
;;
;; 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 text:
;;
;;   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.
;;   See also the `flyspell-prog-mode' minor mode.
;;
;; Checking parameters:
;;
;;   You might not always want a function to have its 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)"
;;
;; Checking message strings:
;;
;;   The text that follows the `error' and `y-or-n-p' commands is
;; also checked.  The documentation for `error' clearly states some
;; simple style rules to follow which checkdoc will auto-fix for you.
;; `y-or-n-p' and `yes-or-no-p' should also end in "?".
;;
;; Adding your own checks:
;;
;;   You can experiment with adding your own checks by setting the
;; hooks `checkdoc-style-functions' and `checkdoc-comment-style-functions'.
;; Return a string which is the error you wish to report.  The cursor
;; position should be preserved.
;;
;; Error errors:
;;
;;   Checkdoc does not always flag errors correctly.  There are a
;; couple ways you can coax your file into passing all of checkdoc's
;; tests through buffer local variables.
;;
;;   The variable `checkdoc-verb-check-experimental-flag' can be used
;; to turn off the check for verb-voice in case you use words that are
;; not semantically verbs, but are still in the incomplete list.
;;
;;   The variable `checkdoc-symbol-words' can be a list of words that
;; happen to also be symbols.  This is not a problem for one-word
;; symbols, but if you use a hyphenated word that is also a symbol,
;; then you may need this.
;;
;;   The symbol `checkdoc-force-docstrings-flag' can be set to nil if
;; you have many undocumented functions you don't wish to document.
;;
;;   See the above section "Checking Parameters" for details about
;; parameter checking.

;;; TO DO:
;;   Hook into the byte compiler on a defun/defvar 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?
