creating an emacs mode!

creating an emacs mode!

[Michael Frandsen]

Hi,

When I get my application to use emacs, I would like to create a language
mode for emacs.
Are there any good tutorials/guides on how to do this please?

Thanks,
Michael

I asked the very same question a few weeks back follow this google search:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&threadm=uissgl086.fsf%40ID-87814.user.dfncis.de&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fnum%3D30%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DISO-8859-1%26safe%3Doff%26q%3Dmarcuirl%2Bemacs%2Bmode%2Blisp%26sa%3DN%26tab%3Dwg

Remember: google is your friend, especially the groups search
function. The answers are out there!

The book "Writing GNU Emacs Extensions" by Bob Glickstein (ISBN:
1565922611) , although a little dated, looks at this sort of thing.

The Emacs Lisp reference manual surely has pointers.  It is available
from ftp.gnu.org and its mirrors.

I guess it is best to use define-derived-mode; when in doubt, derive
from fundamental-mode.  It helps you avoid many mistakes.

But also see generic.el and generic-x.el, they are part of Emacs.
