writing new speedbar modes?

writing new speedbar modes?

[Matt Price]

Hi,

I need towrite a new major mode for speedbar (for the Scrivener
project I've described elsewhere on this list), but it looks a little
harder than I can handle on my own. Has anyone out there done this
already, or can you point me to an example that might be relatively
easy to  follow?  I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks,
Matt

Forgive me for asking the obvious, but did you read the "Extending"
chapter of the Speedbar manual?  That manual comes with Emacs.

If the above chapter doesn't give you enough information, please
consider submitting a documentation bug report.

I did read it, but I don't understand big parts of it. I can file a
bug I guess, but what might help me would be to see a real example of
a major mode, after which I can start editing the work of a competent
coder...

I will go ahead and file a bug, though.

thanks,
