 ;; texi-docstring-magic.el -- munge internal docstrings into texi

 ;; This package is distributed under the terms of the
 ;; GNU General Public License, Version 3.
 ;; You should have a copy of the GPL with your version of
 ;; GNU Emacs or the Texinfo distribution.
 ;;
 ;;
 ;; This package generates Texinfo source fragments from Emacs
 ;; docstrings.   This avoids documenting functions and variables
 ;; in more than one place, and automatically adds Texinfo markup
 ;; to docstrings.
 ;;
 ;; It relies heavily on you following the Elisp documentation
 ;; conventions to produce sensible output, check the Elisp manual
 ;; for details.  In brief:
 ;;
 ;;  * The first line of a docstring should be a complete sentence.
 ;;  * Arguments to functions should be written in upper case: ARG1..ARGN
 ;;  * User options (variables users may want to set) should have docstrings
 ;;    beginning with an asterisk.
 ;;
 ;; Usage:
 ;;
 ;;  Write comments of the form:
 ;;
 ;;    @c TEXI DOCSTRING MAGIC: my-package-function-or-variable-name
 ;;
 ;;  In your texi source, mypackage.texi.  From within an Emacs session
 ;;  where my-package is loaded, visit mypackage.texi and run
 ;;  M-x texi-docstring-magic to update all of the documentation strings.
 ;;
 ;;  This will insert @defopt, @deffn and the like underneath the
 ;;  magic comment strings.
 ;;
 ;;  The default value for user options will be printed.
 ;;
 ;;  Symbols are recognized if they are defined for faces, functions,
 ;;  or variables (in that order).
 ;;
 ;; Automatic markup rules:
 ;;
 ;; 1. Indented lines are gathered into @lisp environment.
 ;; 2. Pieces of text `stuff' or surrounded in quotes marked up with @samp.
 ;; 3. Words *emphasized* are made @strong{emphasized}
 ;; 4. Words sym-bol which are symbols become @code{sym-bol}.
 ;; 5. Upper cased words ARG corresponding to arguments become @var{arg}.
 ;;    In fact, you can any word longer than three letters, so that
 ;;    metavariables can be used easily.
 ;;    FIXME: to escape this, use `ARG'
 ;; 6. Words 'sym which are lisp-quoted are marked with @code{'sym}.
 ;;
 ;; -----
 ;;
 ;; Useful key binding when writing Texinfo:
 ;;
 ;;  (define-key TeXinfo-mode-map "C-cC-d" 'texi-docstring-magic-insert-magic)
 ;;
 ;; -----
 ;;
 ;; Useful enhancements to do:
 ;;
 ;;  * Use customize properties (e.g. group, simple types)
 ;;  * Look for a "texi-docstring" property for symbols
 ;;    so TeXInfo can be defined directly in case automatic markup
 ;;    goes badly wrong.
 ;;  * Add tags to special comments so that user can specify face,
 ;;    function, or variable binding for a symbol in case more than
 ;;    one binding exists.
