As discussed on https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2024-01/msg00916.html
here is the patch that adds the support for outline-minor-mode to treesit.el.
It has been tested on c-ts-mode, dockerfile-ts-mode, elixir-ts-mode, heex-ts-mode,
java-ts-mode, js-ts-mode, typescript-ts-mode, css-ts-mode, html-ts-mode, toml-ts-mode.

Thanks for working on this. It works well with lua-ts-mode too.
If you want you can add the diff to your patch.

Thanks, but shouldn't this minor mode be documented more prominently
in the Emacs user manual, now that there are so many major modes that
support it?  And since major modes that want to support it have to set
up its support, I would say the ELisp manual should document that
setup.

IOW, it makes little sense to make this minor mode more and more
prolific in Emacs, and still have almost nothing about it in our
manuals.

This terse description is okay, if the ELisp manual describes these
setups in more detail; alone it is insufficient.

How do "sparse trees" enter the scene here?  AFAICS, "sparse trees" is
mentioned only once in the entire chapter dedicated to Tree Sitter
support in the ELisp manual.  Is it important to mention here the fact
that the tree is sparse?

This mode seems to do something to support outline-minor-mode that is
not mentioned in the NEWS entry, and neither is treesit-outline-search.

I agree.  Also could add corresponding menu item to the global menu-bar,
or at least to menus of major modes deriving from prog-mode/text-mode.

Actually I realized now there is no need to use sparse trees here.
Below is a new implementation that directly traverses the syntax tree.
This implementation is much better than sparse trees because
sparse trees can be created only once when the file is visited,
but when the buffer is modified it takes too much time
to regenerate sparse trees completely after every change.
So a new implementation below uses the search on the syntax tree
that is much faster to do after every buffer modification.

This just disables outline settings inherited from html-mode.
I will add more explanations.

Here is a new patch with a shorter implementation.
And I will send a complete patch with documentation changes later.

bug#68824: treesitter support for outline-minor-mode

[Juri Linkov]

Yuan, do you think it makes sense to add a new optional arg to
'treesit-search-forward' that will define the traversal order?

The problem is that to search the next outline heading in
outline-minor-mode, there is a need to visit headings in
the same order as they appear in the buffer
where a parent is located before its children:

* Parent
** Child 1
** Child 2

Currently 'treesit-search-forward' returns "Child 1" before "Parent".

This means that 'treesit-search-forward' should return the
topmost matched parent instead of starting to traverse children
from the deepest leaf.

IOW, it's necessary to traverse nodes in this order:

Please note there is no 11 or 12 at the parent of S node because
it should traverse only the remaining siblings of the parent.
This is because remaining parent siblings have treesit-node-start
positions greater than treesit-node-start of S node.

Instead of using treesit-search-forward, can you use treesit-beginning-of-thing or treesit--navigate-thing to do what you want? They handle the “child before parent” problem for you, and handles some other edge cases.

If the above helps Juri accomplish his goal, I think we should reflect
that somehow in the ELisp manual, at least.  I see that
treesit-beginning-of-thing is not even documented in the ELisp manual,
and treesit--navigate-thing is an internal function that is not
supposed to be called from outside of treesit.el.

Thanks.

The whole “things” feature [1] is not documented right now, since I was experimenting with them. If we think it’s time we can make the functions public and document them. Personally I think we can wait for a bit longer.

[1] Includes
- treesit-thing-settings
- treesit-thing-definition
- treesit-beginning/end-of-thing
- treesit--things-around
- treesit--thing-sibling/prev/next
- treesit--thing-at
- treesit--navigate-thing

Plus you can pass thing definitions to search functions like treesit-search-forward.

Doesn't the fact that you suggested to Juri to use that tell us it's
time to make these facilities public?

I don't understand yet how this would change the traversal order
from post-order to pre-order.  But I will try to use
treesit-beginning-of-thing and treesit--navigate-thing
Thanks for suggestion.

Eli, currently I don't need documentation
since I will check source code anyway.
But I agree this should documented at some time.

Thanks, I tried and it works.

Probably treesit--navigate-thing is not internal anymore.
Also the patch below uses treesit--thing-at that doesn't look
internal either.  So maybe two dashes could be removed from names.

Also a remaining question: why treesit-parent-until simply calls
‘(funcall pred node)’ instead of supporting the standard format
that includes a regexp by using treesit-node-match-p?

This causes such an inconvenience that for treesit-outline-level
that uses treesit-parent-until there is a need to wrap a regexp
in a lambda such as for html-ts-mode below.

Yeah, it’s more of a “Emacs internal” than “treesit.el internal”. I wanted to give myself some freedom to change the api, and they’ve indeed went through big changes since created.

I can covert them to single dash.

Nothing other than my oversight :-) I pushed a change to master that fixes this.

As for the patch, I think treesit-outline-predicate could be set to a named function rather than a lambda generated on the fly, but I don’t have strong opinions about it (and maybe you have some reason to use a lambda?) Otherwise LGTM.

Thanks.  It seems you forgot to replace 'funcall'
in 'treesit-parent-while' as well?  ;-)

I completely agree, so will move lambdas to the named functions.

Ah, yes. For some reason I thought it calls treesit-parent-until. Fixed it on master.

This should tell which arguments will be passed to the function, and
what it is expected to do and return.

There should be an index entry somewhere, probably right here, for
treesit-outline-predicate.

If we don't need any more documentation, this entry should be marked

The doc string should explain with what arguments will the predicate
be called and when it is expected to return non-nil.

Likewise here: please describe in the doc string the signature and
expectations from the predicate returned by this function (or point to
the doc of some other variable/function where that information is
included).

What about the return value (if it is important)?

This is the Emacs User Manual, not the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
Are you sure that arguments should be described here?

Fixed.

Actually, this is an internal function and doesn't need a docstring at all.
So I added two slashes to its name, and demoted its docstring to comments.

The return value is described in the docstring of
`outline-search-function' where the docstring above links to.

Sorry, I wasn't aware that was for the user manual.  But why are such
variables documented in the user manual to begin with? why not in the
ELisp manual?

Thanks.

The problem is that the Info node in the ELisp manual would be too small.
I have no idea what to write in that node more than 10 lines from the
docstring of 'outline-search-function'.

Why does it have to be a separate node?  Why cannot we have a
paragraph or two about this in "Tree-sitter Major Modes", for example,
or in "Minor Modes"?

'outline-search-function' is an internal detail of implementation
for 'treesit-outline-predicate'.  Here is the relevant part from the
previous patch that shows there is no place for 'outline-search-function:

Then maybe just move the text about outline-search-function to the
place where you describe treesit-outline-predicate?

'outline-search-function' is unsuitable for "Tree-sitter Major Modes".

All of this thread clearly indicates otherwise.

The real problem is probably that outline-minor-mode’s api wasn’t described in the Elisp manual (Imenu, OTOH, has a node in Elisp manual). I think we can create a node for outline in (elisp)Modes (that’s where the node for Imenu is). We can start out with only outline-search-function in there, and over time populate it with outline-level, outline-regexp, etc.

If in the future we add language-agnostic features similar to outline and imenu, which needs major mode integration, (elisp)Modes would be a good place to document them.

That'd be fine by me.  But since Juri said he was uncomfortable with
such a short node, I tried to suggest alternative ideas.  If having a
short new node is deemed our best option, then let's do that.

We could also have a node for importand minor modes (as opposed to
having a separate node for each such minor mode).

Ok, let's add a new node.

This is now done and pushed to master.

I pushed more fixes, and added treesit-outline-predicate to ruby-ts-mode,
and everything works, so now closing this request.
