Status of Emacs mode for newlisp

Tim Johnson · Post by **Tim Johnson** » Sat Nov 17, 2007 1:37 am

It's me ... I wrote the original draft of the
newlisp editing mode for emacs.

It looks like I'm actually going to be writing some
newlisp code, so what I'd like to do, if possible, is to
hear from any of you who might have made changes to
the mode so that those changes could be synchronized.

The copy on my desktop contains changes made by
frontera000. I believe some other changes may have been
made as well.

I'm inclined to drop the usage of the associative (hash) list
for documentation. I've found it difficult to handle
all of the escaping. So maybe 'nl-doc-assoc will go by the
wayside and w3m (emacs html pager mode) could be
utilized.

Anyway, if anyone has any changes to share, let me know.
Thanks
Tim
P.S. newlisp compiled and installed with incident on ubuntu 7.10 32-bit.

Two months ago, I mentioned to Jeff that he should contact you about it:

Did you two touch base? Curious.

Nope. I just send him a PM.
Thanks!

I didn't make any major changes. Just removed some lines causing problems, I think. You can download the modified code here:

Hi Jeff:
I'm getting Error 404 on both links there.

Sorry about that. When the host moved, I apparently lost some files. A good developer would have noticed this when he or she updated them next. I am not that developer :)

They are re-uploaded. The mysql file is still missing, though, and I will have to upload it again later.

Got 'em. I'm inclined to repost with tj-parenface, and
without the docstring files. The reason for dropping
'docstrings (and along with it) the key and menu-driven
help feature is that:
1)The files are resource-heavy on loading and escaping
them for elisp data-structures has proven to be problematic for me
2)A better way would be to use w3m, which is a emacs-embedded
text-based browser. I anticipate a month or so before that is
implemented.
More later.
Thanks
Tim
