@c A @dfn{mode} is a set of definitions that customize Emacs and can be
@c turned on and off while you edit. There are two varieties of modes:
@c @dfn{major modes}, which are mutually exclusive and used for editing
@c particular kinds of text, and @dfn{minor modes}, which provide features
@c that users can enable individually.

@c The least specialized major mode is called @dfn{Fundamental mode}.
@c This mode has no mode-specific definitions or variable settings, so each
@c Emacs command behaves in its default manner, and each option is in its
@c default state. All other major modes redefine various keys and options.
@c For example, Lisp Interaction mode provides special key bindings for
@c @kbd{C-j} (@code{eval-print-last-sexp}), @key{TAB}
@c (@code{lisp-indent-line}), and other keys.

@c When you need to write several editing commands to help you perform a
@c specialized editing task, creating a new major mode is usually a good
@c idea. In practice, writing a major mode is easy (in contrast to
@c writing a minor mode, which is often difficult).

@c If the new mode is similar to an old one, it is often unwise to modify
@c the old one to serve two purposes, since it may become harder to use and
@c maintain. Instead, copy and rename an existing major mode definition
@c and alter the copy---or define a @dfn{derived mode} (@pxref{Derived
@c Modes}). For example, Rmail Edit mode, which is in
@c @file{emacs/lisp/rmailedit.el}, is a major mode that is very similar to
@c Text mode except that it provides three additional commands. Its
@c definition is distinct from that of Text mode, but was derived from it.

@c Rmail Edit mode offers an example of changing the major mode
@c temporarily for a buffer, so it can be edited in a different way (with
@c ordinary Emacs commands rather than Rmail commands). In such cases, the
@c temporary major mode usually has a command to switch back to the
@c buffer's usual mode (Rmail mode, in this case). You might be tempted to
@c present the temporary redefinitions inside a recursive edit and restore
@c the usual ones when the user exits; but this is a bad idea because it
@c constrains the user's options when it is done in more than one buffer:
@c recursive edits must be exited most-recently-entered first. Using an
@c alternative major mode avoids this limitation. @xref{Recursive
@c Editing}.

@c The standard GNU Emacs Lisp library directory contains the code for
@c several major modes, in files such as @file{text-mode.el},
@c @file{texinfo.el}, @file{lisp-mode.el}, @file{c-mode.el}, and
@c @file{rmail.el}. You can study these libraries to see how modes are
@c written. Text mode is perhaps the simplest major mode aside from
@c Fundamental mode. Rmail mode is a complicated and specialized mode.

@item (@var{matcher} . @var{anchored})
In this kind of element, @var{anchored} acts much like a
@var{highlighter}, but it is more complex and can specify multiple
successive searches.
For highlighting single items, typically only @var{highlighter} is
required. However, if an item or (typically) items are to be
highlighted following the instance of another item (the anchor) then
@var{anchored} may be required.
It has this format:
@example
(@var{submatcher} @var{pre-match-form} @var{post-match-form} @var{highlighters}@dots{})
@end example
@c I can't parse this text -- rms
where @var{submatcher} is much like @var{matcher}, with one
exception---see below. @var{pre-match-form} and @var{post-match-form}
are evaluated before the first, and after the last, instance
@var{anchored}'s @var{submatcher} is used. Therefore they can be used
to initialize before, and cleanup after, @var{submatcher} is used.
Typically, @var{pre-match-form} is used to move to some position
relative to the original @var{submatcher}, before starting with
@var{anchored}'s @var{submatcher}. @var{post-match-form} might be used
to move, before resuming with @var{anchored}'s parent's @var{matcher}.
For example, an element of the form highlights (if not already highlighted):
@example
("\\<anchor\\>" (0 anchor-face) ("\\<item\\>" nil nil (0 item-face)))
@end example
Discrete occurrences of @samp{anchor} in the value of
@code{anchor-face}, and subsequent discrete occurrences of @samp{item}
(on the same line) in the value of @code{item-face}. (Here
@var{pre-match-form} and @var{post-match-form} are @code{nil}.
Therefore @samp{item} is initially searched for starting from the end of
the match of @samp{anchor}, and searching for subsequent instance of
@samp{anchor} resumes from where searching for @samp{item} concluded.)
The above-mentioned exception is as follows. The limit of the
@var{submatcher} search defaults to the end of the line after
@var{pre-match-form} is evaluated. However, if @var{pre-match-form}
returns a position greater than the position after @var{pre-match-form}
is evaluated, that position is used as the limit of the search. It is
generally a bad idea to return a position greater than the end of the
line; in other words, the @var{submatcher} search should not span lines.

@c You can make Font Lock mode use any face, but several faces are

@c to the hook functions. It calls each of the hook functions, passing
@c each of them the arguments @var{args}.

@c returns a non-@code{nil} value.

@defun add-hook hook function &optional append local
@c This function is the handy way to add function @var{function} to hook
@c variable @var{hook}. The argument @var{function} may be any valid Lisp
@c function with the proper number of arguments. For example,

@c It is best to design your hook functions so that the order in which they
@c are executed does not matter. Any dependence on the order is ``asking
@c for trouble.'' However, the order is predictable: normally,
@c @var{function} goes at the front of the hook list, so it will be
@c executed first (barring another @code{add-hook} call). If the optional
@c argument @var{append} is non-@code{nil}, the new hook function goes at
@c the end of the hook list and will be executed last.

@c If @var{local} is non-@code{nil}, that says to make the new hook

@c buffer-local, then the value of @var{local} makes no difference---the

@defun make-local-hook hook
@c This function makes the hook variable @code{hook} buffer-local in the
@c current buffer. When a hook variable is buffer-local, it can have
@c buffer-local and global hook functions, and @code{run-hooks} runs all of
@c them.

@c This function works by making @code{t} an element of the buffer-local
@c value. That serves as a flag to use the hook functions in the default
@c value of the hook variable as well as those in the buffer-local value.
@c Since @code{run-hooks} understands this flag, @code{make-local-hook}
@c works with all normal hooks. It works for only some non-normal
@c hooks---those whose callers have been updated to understand this meaning
@c of @code{t}.
