This is an unstable, *BETA* release of XEmacs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
XEmacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time
|
|
|
|
|
display editor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Users new to XEmacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly
|
|
|
|
|
by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features.
|
|
|
|
|
XEmacs also has an extensive interactive manual browser. It is easily
|
|
|
|
|
extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
XEmacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and sending
|
|
|
|
|
(Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile), running
|
|
|
|
|
subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp read-eval-print
|
|
|
|
|
loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy (Doctor :-) and
|
|
|
|
|
many more. There is a WWW browsing mode written fully in elisp
|
|
|
|
|
that looks and behaves much like the netscape WWW browser.

XEmacs has similar functionality to GNU Emacs. It uses a different
|

|
|
|
display model, including support for Motif menu and scroll bars and the
|
|
|
|
|
ability to run as a widget inside other applications. Many people say
|
|
|
|
|
it looks nicer than GNU Emacs.
