| 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. | |
| 18 | |
| 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. | |
| 25 | |
| 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. | |
