;;; Commentary:

;; A minor mode: "Highlight Changes mode".

;; When Highlight Changes mode is enabled changes to the buffer are
;; recorded with a text property.  Normally these ranges of text are
;; displayed in a distinctive face.  However, sometimes it is
;; desirable to temporarily not see these changes.  Instead of
;; disabling Highlight Changes mode (which would remove the text property)
;; use the command highlight-changes-visible-mode.

;; Two faces are supported: one for changed or inserted text and
;; another for the first character after text has been deleted.

;; When Highlight Changes mode is on (even if changes are not visible)
;; you can go to the next or previous change with
;; `highlight-changes-next-change' or `highlight-changes-previous-change'.

;; Command highlight-compare-with-file shows changes in this file
;; compared with another file (by default the previous version of the
;; file).
;;
;; The command highlight-compare-buffers compares two buffers by
;; highlighting their differences.

;; You can "age" different sets of changes by using
;; `highlight-changes-rotate-faces'.  This rotates through a series
;; of different faces, so you can distinguish "new" changes from "older"
;; changes.  You can customize these "rotated" faces in two ways.  You can
;; either explicitly define each face by customizing
;; `highlight-changes-face-list'.  If, however, the faces differ from
;; `highlight-changes-face' only in the foreground color, you can simply set
;; `highlight-changes-colors'.  If `highlight-changes-face-list' is nil when
;; the faces are required they will be constructed from
;; `highlight-changes-colors'.

;; You can automatically rotate faces when the buffer is saved;
;; see function `highlight-changes-rotate-faces' for how to do this.

;; The hook `highlight-changes-mode-hook' is called when
;; Highlight Changes mode is turned on or off.
;; When it called, variable `highlight-changes-mode' has been updated
;; to the new value.
;;
;; Example usage:
;; (defun my-highlight-changes-mode-hook ()
;;   (if highlight-changes-mode
;;       (add-hook 'write-file-functions 'highlight-changes-rotate-faces nil t)
;;     (remove-hook 'write-file-functions 'highlight-changes-rotate-faces t)
;;     ))


;;           Automatically enabling Highlight Changes mode
;;

;; Normally, Highlight Changes mode is turned on explicitly in a buffer.
;;
;; If you prefer to have it automatically invoked you can do it as
;; follows.

;; 1. Most modes have a major-hook, typically called MODE-hook.  You
;; can use `add-hook' to call `highlight-changes-mode'.

;;   Example:
;;	(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'highlight-changes-mode)

;; However, this cannot be done for Fundamental mode for there is no
;; such hook.

;; 2. You can use the function `global-highlight-changes-mode'
;;
;; This function, which is fashioned after the way `global-font-lock' works,
;; toggles on or off global Highlight Changes mode.  When activated, it turns
;; on Highlight Changes mode in all "suitable" existing buffers and will turn
;; it on in new "suitable" buffers to be created.

;; A buffer's "suitability" is determined by variable
;; `highlight-changes-global-modes', as follows.  If it is
;; * nil  -- then no buffers are suitable;
;; * a function -- this function is called and the result is used.  As
;;   an example, if the value is `buffer-file-name' then all buffers
;;   who are visiting files are suitable, but others (like dired
;;   buffers) are not;
;; * a list -- then the buffer is suitable if and only if its mode is in the
;;   list, except if the first element is `not', in which case the test
;;   is reversed (i.e. it is a list of unsuitable modes).
;; * Otherwise, the buffer is suitable if its name does not begin with
;;   ` ' or `*' and if `buffer-file-name' returns true.

;; To enable it for future sessions put this in your ~/.emacs file:
;;		(global-highlight-changes-mode t)


;;     Possible bindings:
;; (global-set-key '[C-right] 'highlight-changes-next-change)
;; (global-set-key '[C-left]  'highlight-changes-previous-change)
;;
;;     Other interactive functions (that could be bound if desired):
;; highlight-changes-mode
;; highlight-changes-toggle-visibility
;; highlight-changes-remove-highlight
;; highlight-compare-with-file
;; highlight-compare-buffers
;; highlight-changes-rotate-faces


;;; Bugs:

;; - the next-change and previous-change functions are too literal;
;;   they should find the next "real" change, in other words treat
;;   consecutive changes as one.


;;; To do (maybe), notes, ...

;; - having different faces for deletion and non-deletion: is it
;;   really worth the hassle?
;; - highlight-compare-with-file should allow RCS files - e.g. nice to be
;;   able to say show changes compared with version 2.1.


;;; History:

;; R Sharman (rsharman@pobox.com) Feb 1998:
;; - initial release as change-mode.
;; Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@ntc.nokia.com> Mar 1998
;; - fixes for byte compile errors
;; - use eval-and-compile for autoload
;; Marijn Ros <J.M.Ros@fys.ruu.nl> Mar 98
;; - suggested turning it on by default
;; Eric Ludlam <zappo@gnu.org> Suggested using overlays.
;; July 98
;; - global mode and various stuff added
;; - Changed to use overlays
;; August 98
;; - renamed to Highlight Changes mode.
;; Dec 2003
;; - Use require for ediff stuff
;; - Added highlight-compare-buffers
;; Mar 2008
;; - Made highlight-changes-mode like other modes (toggle on/off)
;; - Added new command highlight-changes-visible-mode to replace the
;;   previous active/passive aspect of highlight-changes-mode.
;; - Removed highlight-changes-toggle-hook
;; - Put back eval-and-compile inadvertently dropped
;; May 2008
;; - Removed highlight-changes-disable-hook and highlight-changes-enable-hook
;;   because highlight-changes-mode-hook can do both.
