|

|
||
;;; Commentary:
|
||
|
||
;; GNU Emacs is already, in a sense, object oriented -- each object
|
||
;; (buffer) belongs to a class (major mode), and that class defines
|
||
;; the relationship between messages (input events) and methods
|
||
;; (commands) by means of a keymap.
|
||
;;
|
||
;; The only thing missing is a good scheme of inheritance. It is
|
||
;; possible to simulate a single level of inheritance with generous
|
||
;; use of hooks and a bit of work -- sgml-mode, for example, also runs
|
||
;; the hooks for text-mode, and keymaps can inherit from other keymaps
|
||
;; -- but generally, each major mode ends up reinventing the wheel.
|
||
;; Ideally, someone should redesign all of Emacs's major modes to
|
||
;; follow a more conventional object-oriented system: when defining a
|
||
;; new major mode, the user should need only to name the existing mode
|
||
;; it is most similar to, then list the (few) differences.
|
||
;;
|
||
;; In the mean time, this package offers most of the advantages of
|
||
;; full inheritance with the existing major modes. The macro
|
||
;; `define-derived-mode' allows the user to make a variant of an existing
|
||
;; major mode, with its own keymap. The new mode will inherit the key
|
||
;; bindings of its parent, and will, in fact, run its parent first
|
||
;; every time it is called. For example, the commands
|
||
;;
|
||
;; (define-derived-mode hypertext-mode text-mode "Hypertext"
|
||
;; "Major mode for hypertext.\n\n\\{hypertext-mode-map}"
|
||
;; (setq case-fold-search nil))
|
||
;;
|
||
;; (define-key hypertext-mode-map [down-mouse-3] 'do-hyper-link)
|
||
;;
|
||
;; will create a function `hypertext-mode' with its own (sparse)
|
||
;; keymap `hypertext-mode-map.' The command M-x hypertext-mode will
|
||
;; perform the following actions:
|
||
;;
|
||
;; - run the command (text-mode) to get its default setup
|
||
;; - replace the current keymap with 'hypertext-mode-map,' which will
|
||
;; inherit from 'text-mode-map'.
|
||
;; - replace the current syntax table with
|
||
;; 'hypertext-mode-syntax-table', which will borrow its defaults
|
||
;; from the current text-mode-syntax-table.
|
||
;; - replace the current abbrev table with
|
||
;; 'hypertext-mode-abbrev-table', which will borrow its defaults
|
||
;; from the current text-mode-abbrev table
|
||
;; - change the mode line to read "Hypertext"
|
||
;; - assign the value 'hypertext-mode' to the 'major-mode' variable
|
||
;; - run the body of commands provided in the macro -- in this case,
|
||
;; set the local variable `case-fold-search' to nil.
|
||
;; - **run the command (hypertext-mode-setup), which is empty by
|
||
;; default, but may be redefined by the user to contain special
|
||
;; commands (ie. setting local variables like 'outline-regexp')
|
||
;; **NOTE: do not use this option -- it will soon be obsolete.
|
||
;; - run anything assigned to 'hypertext-mode-hook' (obsolete, but
|
||
;; supported for the sake of compatibility).
|
||
;;
|
||
;; The advantages of this system are threefold. First, text mode is
|
||
;; untouched -- if you had added the new keystroke to `text-mode-map,'
|
||
;; possibly using hooks, you would have added it to all text buffers
|
||
;; -- here, it appears only in hypertext buffers, where it makes
|
||
;; sense. Second, it is possible to build even further, and make
|
||
;; a derived mode from a derived mode. The commands
|
||
;;
|
||
;; (define-derived-mode html-mode hypertext-mode "HTML")
|
||
;; [various key definitions]
|
||
;;
|
||
;; will add a new major mode for HTML with very little fuss.
|
||
;;
|
||
;; Note also the function `derived-mode-class,' which returns the non-derived
|
||
;; major mode which a derived mode is based on (ie. NOT necessarily the
|
||
;; immediate parent).
|
||
;;
|
||
;; (derived-mode-class 'text-mode) ==> text-mode
|
||
;; (derived-mode-class 'hypertext-mode) ==> text-mode
|
||
;; (derived-mode-class 'html-mode) ==> text-mode

|
||

"Create a new mode as a variant of an existing mode.
|

|

The arguments to this command are as follow:
|
||
|
||
CHILD: the name of the command for the derived mode.
|
||
PARENT: the name of the command for the parent mode (ie. text-mode).
|
||
NAME: a string which will appear in the status line (ie. \"Hypertext\")
|
||
DOCSTRING: an optional documentation string--if you do not supply one,
|
||
the function will attempt to invent something useful.
|
||
BODY: forms to execute just before running the
|
||
hooks for the new mode.
|
||
|
||
Here is how you could define LaTeX-Thesis mode as a variant of LaTeX mode:
|
||
|
||
(define-derived-mode LaTeX-thesis-mode LaTeX-mode \"LaTeX-Thesis\")
|
||
|
||
You could then make new key bindings for `LaTeX-thesis-mode-map'
|
||
without changing regular LaTeX mode. In this example, BODY is empty,
|
||
and DOCSTRING is generated by default.
|
||
|
||
On a more complicated level, the following command uses sgml-mode as
|
||
the parent, and then sets the variable `case-fold-search' to nil:
|
||
|
||
(define-derived-mode article-mode sgml-mode \"Article\"
|
||
\"Major mode for editing technical articles.\"
