Subject: changing visuals of code in emacs
Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 15:11:44 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <K8n6rF.ryC@beaver.cs.washington.edu> (raw)
Hello,
I'd like to change code visuals for the D programming language as
follows. I'd like the construct:
Symbol!(balanced_parens)
to be visualized as:
Symbol«balanced_parens»
The chevrons should appear electrically when I type the closing ")".
Note that balanced_parens could in turn nested use of "!()", as in
A!(B!(C)), and they should all be paired using chevrons. The underlying
file should not contain the chevrons, just the ASCII representation
using "!(" and ")".
I haven't done much elisp programming beyond the common .emacs
configuration tricks, so I don't know where to start. A few searches
suggested that overlays may be what I'm looking for... any ideas and
pointers? Thank you.
Andrei
