36 36 *** You can now create an "indirect buffer", like in GNU Emacs. An
37 indirect buffer shares its text with another buffer ("base buffer"),
38 but has its own major mode, local variables, extents, and narrowing.
39 An indirect buffer has a name of its own, distinct from those of the
40 base buffer and all other buffers. An indirect buffer cannot itself
41 be visiting a file (though its base buffer can be). The base buffer
42 cannot itself be indirect.
43
44 Use (make-indirect-buffer BASE-BUFFER NAME) to make an indirect buffer
45 named NAME whose base is BASE-BUFFER. If BASE-BUFFER is an indirect
46 buffer, its base buffer is used as the base for the new buffer.
47
48 You can make an indirect buffer current, or switch to it in a window,
49 just as you would a non-indirect buffer.
50
51 The function `buffer-base-buffer', given an indirect buffer, returns
52 its base buffer. It returns nil when given an ordinary buffer (not
53 indirect). `buffer-indirect-children' returns a list of the indirect
54 children of a base buffer.
55
56 #### The library `noutline' has versions of Outline mode and Outline
57 minor mode which let you display different parts of the outline in
58 different indirect buffers.
