GNU Emacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time
|
|
|
|
|
display editor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Users new to Emacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly
|
|
|
|
|
by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features.
|
|
|
|
|
Emacs also has an extensive interactive manual browser. It is easily
|
|
|
|
|
extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GNU Emacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and
|
|
|
|
|
sending (Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile),
|
|
|
|
|
running subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp
|
|
|
|
|
read-eval-print loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy
|
|
|
|
|
(Doctor :-) and many more.
