First part of interactive checks that coding systems encode regions. 2008-01-21 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * coding.el (decode-coding-string): (encode-coding-string): Accept GNU's NOCOPY argument for these. Todo; write compiler macros to use it. (query-coding-warning-face): New face, to show unencodable characters. (default-query-coding-region-safe-charset-skip-chars-map): New variable, a cache used by #'default-query-coding-region. (default-query-coding-region): Default implementation of #'query-coding-region, using the safe-charsets and safe-chars coding systemproperties. (query-coding-region): New function; can a given coding system encode a given region? (query-coding-string): New function; can a given coding system encode a given string? (unencodable-char-position): Function API taken from GNU; return the first unencodable position given a string and coding system. (encode-coding-char): Function API taken from GNU; return CHAR encoded using CODING-SYSTEM, or nil if CODING-SYSTEM would trash CHAR. ((unless (featurep 'mule)): Override the default query-coding-region implementation on non-Mule. * mule/mule-coding.el (make-8-bit-generate-helper): Eliminate a duplicate comment. (make-8-bit-choose-category): Simplify implementation. (8-bit-fixed-query-coding-region): Implementation of #'query-coding-region for coding systems created with #'make-8-bit-coding-system. (make-8-bit-coding-system): Initialise the #'query-coding-region implementation for these character sets. (make-8-bit-coding-system): Ditto for the compiler macro version of this function. * unicode.el (unicode-query-coding-skip-chars-arg): New variable, used by unicode-query-coding-region, initialised in mule/general-late.el. (unicode-query-coding-region): New function, the #'query-coding-region implementation for Unicode coding systems. Initialise the query-coding-function property for the Unicode coding systems to #'unicode-query-coding-region. * mule/mule-charset.el (charset-skip-chars-string): New function. Return a #'skip-chars-forward argument that skips all characters in CHARSET. (map-charset-chars): Function synced from GNU, modified to work with XEmacs. Map FUNC across the int value charset ranges of CHARSET.

This is the file .../info/dir, which contains the topmost node of the Info
hierarchy.  The first time you invoke Info you start off looking at that node,
which is (dir)Top.

Rather than adding new nodes to this directory (and this file) it is a better
idea to put them in a site-local directory, and then configure info to search
in that directory as well.  That way, you won't have to re-edit this file when
a new release of the editor comes out.

For example, you could add this code to .../lisp/site-start.el, which is
loaded before ~/.emacs each time the editor starts up:

  ;; find local info nodes
  (setq Info-directory-list
        (append Info-directory-list '("/private/info/")))

Then, when you enter info, a dir file like this one will be automatically
created and saved (provided you have write access to the directory).  The
contents of that file "/private/info/dir" will be appended to the contents of
this file.

  This is Info, the online documentation browsing system.
  This page (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics.

  button2 on a highlighted word follows that cross-reference.
  button3 anywhere brings up a menu of commands.
  ? lists additional keyboard commands.
  h invokes the Info tutorial.
