This directory contains the source of the "Introduction to programming
|
|
|
|
|
in Emacs Lisp" written by Robert J. Chassell, bob@gnu.org. This
|
|
|
|
|
manual is an elementary introduction to programming in Emacs Lisp for
|
|
|
|
|
people who are not programmers, and who are not necessarily interested
|
|
|
|
|
in programming, but who do want to customize or extend their computing
|
|
|
|
|
environment.

This second edition of 2001 Nov 20 updates the previous editions to
|
|
|
|
|
GNU Emacs 21.

The Texinfo source file `emacs-lisp-intro.texi', formats without

Also, this tar file contains the following optional Encapsulated Post

Script figures.

See the beginning of the `emacs-lisp-intro.texi' file for appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
settings. These figures are not necessary; they are merely nice to
|
|
|
|
|
look at --- without them you get the same figures printed with ASCII
|
|
|
|
|
characters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whether and how you print PostScript depends on your site. You not
|
|
|
|
|
only need to set 'print-postscript-figures' before creating the .dvi
|
|
|
|
|
file, but then must convert the .dvi file to .ps with a 'dvips' or
|
|
|
|
|
equivalent command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On some systems you will see an error message when `psfig.tex' is
|
|
|
|
|
loaded for the last two .eps files:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
! No room for a new \write .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this happens, try `epsf.tex' instead of `psfig.tex', or try typing
|
|
|
|
|
RET at the error; the formatting may continue successfully.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or else find the section that says:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@c !!! Clear print-postscript-figures if the computer formatting this
|
|
|
|
|
@c document is too small and cannot handle all the diagrams and figures.
|
|
|
|
|
@c clear print-postscript-figures
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and change the file so it reads: @clear print-postscript-figures
|
|
|
|
|
This will prevent TeX from attempting to load the last few .eps files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will find additional instructions on formatting in the beginning
|
|
|
|
|
of the Texinfo file 'emacs-lisp-intro.texi'. Best Wishes!
