;;; Commentary:

;; This program was inspired by the behavior of the "mouse documentation
;; window" on many Lisp Machine systems; as you type a function's symbol
;; name as part of a sexp, it will print the argument list for that
;; function.  Behavior is not identical; for example, you need not actually
;; type the function name, you need only move point around in a sexp that
;; calls it.  Also, if point is over a documented variable, it will print
;; the one-line documentation for that variable instead, to remind you of
;; that variable's meaning.

;; This mode is now enabled by default in all major modes that provide
;; support for it, such as `emacs-lisp-mode'.
;; This is controlled by `global-eldoc-mode'.

;; Major modes for other languages may use ElDoc by adding an
;; appropriate function to the buffer-local value of
;; `eldoc-documentation-functions'.

If the value is a positive number, it is used to calculate a
number of screen lines of documentation that ElDoc is allowed to
put in the echo area.  A positive integer specifies the maximum
number of lines directly, while a floating-point number specifies
the number of screen lines as a fraction of the echo area frame's
height.

If the value is the symbol `truncate-sym-name-if-fit', the part of
the doc string that represents a symbol's name may be truncated
if it will enable the rest of the doc string to fit on a single
line, without resizing the echo area.

If the value is nil, a doc string is always truncated to fit in a
single screen line of echo-area display.

Any resizing of the echo area additionally respects
`max-mini-window-height'."

  "Hook of functions that produce short doc strings.

A doc string is typically relevant if point is on a function-like
name, inside its arg list, or on any object with some associated
information.

Each hook function is called with at least one argument CALLBACK,
a function, and decides whether to display a short doc string
about the context around point.

- If that decision can be taken quickly, the hook function may
  call CALLBACK immediately, following the protocol described
  below.  Alternatively, it may ignore CALLBACK entirely and
  return either the doc string, or nil if there's no doc
  appropriate for the context.

- If the computation of said doc string (or the decision whether
  there is one at all) is expensive or can't be performed
  directly, the hook function should return a non-nil, non-string
  value and arrange for CALLBACK to be called at a later time,
  using asynchronous processes or other asynchronous mechanisms.

To call the CALLBACK function, the hook function must pass it an
obligatory argument DOCSTRING, a string containing the
documentation, followed by an optional list of arbitrary
keyword-value pairs of the form (:KEY VALUE :KEY2 VALUE2...).
The information contained in these pairs is understood by members
of `eldoc-display-functions', allowing the
documentation-producing backend to cooperate with specific
documentation-displaying frontends.  For example, KEY can be:

* `:thing', VALUE being a short string or symbol designating what
  DOCSTRING reports on.  It can, for example be the name of the
  function whose signature is being documented, or the name of
  the variable whose docstring is being documented.
  `eldoc-display-in-echo-area', a member of
  `eldoc-display-functions', sometimes omits this information
  depending on space constraints;

* `:face', VALUE being a symbol designating a face which both
  `eldoc-display-in-echo-area' and `eldoc-display-in-buffer' will
  use when displaying `:thing''s value.

* `:echo', controlling how `eldoc-display-in-echo-area' should
  present this documentation item in the echo area, to save
  space.  If VALUE is a string, echo it instead of DOCSTRING.  If
  a number, only echo DOCSTRING up to that character position.
  If `skip', don't echo DOCSTRING at all.

The additional KEY `:origin' is always added by ElDoc, its VALUE
being the member of `eldoc-documentation-functions' where
DOCSTRING originated. `eldoc-display-functions' may use this
information to organize display of multiple docstrings.

Finally, major modes should modify this hook locally, for
example:
  (add-hook \\='eldoc-documentation-functions #\\='foo-mode-eldoc nil t)
so that the global value (i.e. the default value of the hook) is
taken into account if the major mode specific function does not
return any documentation.")

This variable controls how to call the functions in the special hook
`eldoc-documentation-functions', and how to organize their results
for display to the user.  The functions in `eldoc-documentation-functions'
are the source of documentation, and act as back-end for ElDoc.

The following values are supported:

- `eldoc-documentation-default': Call functions in the special
  hook in order, until one of them returns a non-nil string
  value.  Display only that string.

- `eldoc-documentation-compose': Call all the functions in the
  special hook and display all of the resulting strings together,
  after all of the functions were called, and in the order of the
  functions in the hook.

- `eldoc-documentation-compose-eagerly': Call all the functions in
  the special hook, and display each non-nil string as soon as it
  is returned by a function, before calling the next function.

- `eldoc-documentation-enthusiast': Call all the functions in the
  special hook, and display only the most important resulting
  string at any given time.  A function appearing first in
  the special hook is considered more important than those which
  appear after it.

This variable can also be set to a function of no arguments that
returns something other than a string or nil, and allows for some
or all of the special hook `eldoc-documentation-functions' to be
run.  In that case, the strategy function should follow that
other variable's protocol closely and display the resulting doc
strings itself.

For backward compatibility with the \"old\" protocol, this variable
can also be set to a function that returns nil or a doc string,
depending whether or not there is documentation to display at
all."
