+ − 12 Most of the XEmacs text editor is written in the programming
+ − 13 language called XEmacs Lisp. You can write new code in XEmacs Lisp and
+ − 14 install it as an extension to the editor. However, XEmacs Lisp is more
+ − 15 than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming
+ − 16 language in its own right. You can use it as you would any other
+ − 17 programming language.

+ − 19 Because XEmacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special
+ − 20 features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling
+ − 21 files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on. XEmacs Lisp is
+ − 22 closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
+ − 23 are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
+ − 24 and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables.

+ − 26 This manual describes XEmacs Lisp. Generally speaking, the earlier
+ − 27 chapters describe features of XEmacs Lisp that have counterparts in
+ − 28 many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that
+ − 29 are peculiar to XEmacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.
