Synopsis

Emacs is an extensible, customizable, self-documenting, real-time display text editor. Emacs allows users to program a product to do what they want without having to wait for a new release of that product! Emacs offers many features for writing programs and scripts in the Linux environment. Because Emacs is an intimidating and complex program to understand, GNU Emacs for Linux is an essential resource. This book details all of Emacs features and describes how other people are finding uses for it as well. It describes the different options available with Emacs and demonstrates how to integrate daily computing functions into one powerful program. From explaining how to get up and running to teaching you how to customize your own programs using LISP, GNU Emacs for Linux is a valuable reference for anyone interested in becoming more productive with Emacs.
