;;; Commentary:

;; Visit a file using a form.  See etc/forms for examples.
;;
;; === Naming conventions
;;
;; The names of all variables and functions start with 'forms-'.
;; Names which start with 'forms--' are intended for internal use, and
;; should *NOT* be used from the outside.
;;
;; All variables are buffer-local, to enable multiple forms visits
;; simultaneously.
;; Variable `forms--mode-setup' is local to *ALL* buffers, for it
;; controls if forms-mode has been enabled in a buffer.
;;
;; === How it works ===
;;
;; Forms mode means visiting a data file which is supposed to consist
;; of records each containing a number of fields.  The records are
;; separated by a newline, the fields are separated by a user-defined
;; field separator (default: TAB).
;; When shown, a record is transferred to an Emacs buffer and
;; presented using a user-defined form.  One record is shown at a
;; time.
;;
;; Forms mode is a composite mode.  It involves two files, and two
;; buffers.
;; The first file, called the control file, defines the name of the
;; data file and the forms format.  This file buffer will be used to
;; present the forms.
;; The second file holds the actual data.  The buffer of this file
;; will be buried, for it is never accessed directly.
;;
;; Forms mode is invoked using M-x `forms-find-file' control-file.
;; Alternatively `forms-find-file-other-window' can be used.
;;
;; You may also visit the control file, and switch to forms mode by hand
;; with M-x `forms-mode'.
;;
;; Automatic mode switching is supported if you specify
;; "-*- forms -*-" in the first line of the control file.
;;
;; The control file is visited, evaluated using `eval-buffer',
;; and should set at least the following variables:
;;
;;	forms-file				[string]
;;			The name of the data file.
;;
;;	forms-number-of-fields			[integer]
;;			The number of fields in each record.
;;
;;	forms-format-list			[list]
;;			Formatting instructions.
;;
;; `forms-format-list' should be a list, each element containing
;;
;;   - a string, e.g. "hello".  The string is inserted in the forms
;;	"as is".
;;
;;   - an integer, denoting a field number.
;;	The contents of this field are inserted at this point.
;;     Fields are numbered starting with number one.
;;
;;   - a function call, e.g. (insert "text").
;;	This function call is dynamically evaluated and should return a
;;     string.  It should *NOT* have side-effects on the forms being
;;     constructed.  The current fields are available to the function
;;     in the variable `forms-fields', they should *NOT* be modified.
;;
;;   - a lisp symbol, that must evaluate to one of the above.
;;
;; Optional variables which may be set in the control file:
;;
;;	forms-field-sep				[string, default TAB]
;;			The field separator used to separate the
;;			fields in the data file.  It may be a string.
;;
;;	forms-read-only				[bool, default nil]
;;			Non-nil means that the data file is visited
;;			read-only (view mode) as opposed to edit mode.
;;			If no write access to the data file is
;;			possible, view mode is enforced.
;;
;;	forms-check-number-of-fields            [bool, default t]
;;			If non-nil, a warning will be issued whenever
;;			a record is found that does not have the number
;;			of fields specified by `forms-number-of-fields'.
;;
;;	forms-multi-line			[string, default "^K"]
;;			If non-null, the records of the data file may
;;			contain fields that can span multiple lines in
;;			the form.
;;			This variable denotes the separator string
;;			to be used for this purpose.  Upon display, all
;;			occurrences of this string are translated
;;			to newlines.  Upon storage they are translated
;;			back to the separator string.
;;
;;	forms-forms-scroll			[bool, default nil]
;;			Non-nil means: rebind locally the commands that
;;			perform `scroll-up' or `scroll-down' to use
;;			`forms-next-field' resp. `forms-prev-field'.
;;
;;	forms-forms-jump			[bool, default nil]
;;			Non-nil means: rebind locally the commands
;;			`beginning-of-buffer' and `end-of-buffer' to
;;			perform, respectively, `forms-first-record' and
;;			`forms-last-record' instead.
;;
;;	forms-insert-after			[bool, default nil]
;;			Non-nil means: insertions of new records go after
;;			current record, also initial position is at the
;;			last record.  The default is to insert before the
;;			current record and the initial position is at the
;;			first record.
;;
;;	forms-read-file-filter			[symbol, default nil]
;;			If not nil: this should be the name of a
;;			function that is called after the forms data file
;;			has been read.  It can be used to transform
;;			the contents of the file into a format more suitable
;;			for forms-mode processing.
;;
;;	forms-write-file-filter			[symbol, default nil]
;;			If not nil: this should be the name of a
;;			function that is called before the forms data file
;;			is written (saved) to disk.  It can be used to undo
;;			the effects of `forms-read-file-filter', if any.
;;
;;	forms-new-record-filter			[symbol, default nil]
;;			If not nil: this should be the name of a
;;			function that is called when a new
;;			record is created.  It can be used to fill in
;;			the new record with default fields, for example.
;;
;;	forms-modified-record-filter		[symbol, default nil]
;;			If not nil: this should be the name of a
;;			function that is called when a record has
;;			been modified.  It is called after the fields
;;			are parsed.  It can be used to register
;;			modification dates, for example.
;;
;;	forms-use-text-properties		[bool, see text for default]
;;			This variable controls if forms mode should use
;;			text properties to protect the form text from being
;;			modified (using text-property `read-only').
;;			Also, the read-write fields are shown using a
;;			distinct face, if possible.
;;			As of emacs 19.29, the `intangible' text property
;;			is used to prevent moving into read-only fields.
;;			This variable defaults to t if running Emacs 19 or
;;			later with text properties.
;;			The default face to show read-write fields is
;;			copied from face `region'.
;;
;;	forms-ro-face 				[symbol, default 'default]
;;			This is the face that is used to show
;;			read-only text on the screen.  If used, this
;;			variable should be set to a symbol that is a
;;			valid face.
;;			E.g.
;;			  (make-face 'my-face)
;;			  (setq forms-ro-face 'my-face)
;;
;;	forms-rw-face				[symbol, default 'region]
;;			This is the face that is used to show
;;			read-write text on the screen.
;;
;; After evaluating the control file, its buffer is cleared and used
;; for further processing.
;; The data file (as designated by `forms-file') is visited in a buffer
;; `forms--file-buffer' which normally will not be shown.
;; Great malfunctioning may be expected if this file/buffer is modified
;; outside of this package while it is being visited!
;;
;; Normal operation is to transfer one line (record) from the data file,
;; split it into fields (into `forms--the-record-list'), and display it
;; using the specs in `forms-format-list'.
;; A format routine `forms--format' is built upon startup to format
;; the records according to `forms-format-list'.
;;
;; When a form is changed the record is updated as soon as this form
;; is left.  The contents of the form are parsed using information
;; obtained from `forms-format-list', and the fields which are
;; deduced from the form are modified.  Fields not shown on the forms
;; retain their original values.  The newly formed record then
;; replaces the contents of the old record in `forms--file-buffer'.
;; A parse routine `forms--parser' is built upon startup to parse
;; the records.
;;
;; Two exit functions exist: `forms-exit' and `forms-exit-no-save'.
;; `forms-exit' saves the data to the file, if modified.
;; `forms-exit-no-save' does not.  However, if `forms-exit-no-save'
;; is executed and the file buffer has been modified, Emacs will ask
;; questions anyway.
;;
;; Other functions provided by forms mode are:
;;
;;	paging (forward, backward) by record
;;	jumping (first, last, random number)
;;	searching
;;	creating and deleting records
;;	reverting the form (NOT the file buffer)

;;	jumping from field to field
;;
;; As a documented side-effect: jumping to the last record in the
;; file (using forms-last-record) will adjust forms--total-records if
;; needed.
;;
;; The forms buffer can be in one of two modes: edit mode or view
;; mode.  View mode is a read-only mode, whereby you cannot modify the
;; contents of the buffer.
;;
;; Edit mode commands:
;;
;; TAB		 forms-next-field
;; \C-c TAB	 forms-next-field
;; \C-c <	 forms-first-record
;; \C-c >	 forms-last-record
;; \C-c ?	 describe-mode
;; \C-c \C-k	 forms-delete-record
;; \C-c \C-q	 forms-toggle-read-only
;; \C-c \C-o	 forms-insert-record
;; \C-c \C-l	 forms-jump-record
;; \C-c \C-n	 forms-next-record
;; \C-c \C-p	 forms-prev-record
;; \C-c \C-r	 forms-search-backward
;; \C-c \C-s	 forms-search-forward
;; \C-c \C-x	 forms-exit
;;
;; Read-only mode commands:
;;
;; SPC 	 forms-next-record
;; DEL	 forms-prev-record
;; ?	 describe-mode
;; \C-q  forms-toggle-read-only
;; l	 forms-jump-record
;; n	 forms-next-record
;; p	 forms-prev-record
;; r	 forms-search-backward
;; s	 forms-search-forward
;; x	 forms-exit
;;
;; Of course, it is also possible to use the \C-c prefix to obtain the
;; same command keys as in edit mode.
;;
;; The following bindings are available, independent of the mode:
;;
;; [next]	  forms-next-record
;; [prior]	  forms-prev-record
;; [begin]	  forms-first-record
;; [end]	  forms-last-record
;; [S-TAB]	  forms-prev-field
;; [backtab]	  forms-prev-field
;;
;; For convenience, TAB is always bound to `forms-next-field', so you
;; don't need the C-c prefix for this command.
;;
;; As mentioned above (see `forms-forms-scroll' and `forms-forms-jump'),
;; the bindings of standard functions `scroll-up', `scroll-down',
;; `beginning-of-buffer' and `end-of-buffer' can be locally replaced with
;; forms mode functions next/prev record and first/last
;; record.
;;
;; `write-file-functions' is defined to save the actual data file
;; instead of the buffer data, `revert-file-hook' is defined to
;; revert a forms to original.
