GNU Emacs is an extensible, customizable editor textand more. At its
|
|
core is an interpreter for Emacs Lisp, a dialect of the Lisp
|
|
programming language with extensions to support text editing. The
|
|
features of GNU Emacs include:
|
|
|
|
- Content-sensitive editing modes, including syntax coloring, for a
|
|
wide variety of file types including plain text, source code, and
|
|
HTML.
|
|
- Complete built-in documentation, including a tutorial for new users.
|
|
- Support for many languages and their scripts, including all scripts,
|
|
Russian, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Lao,
|
|
Ethiopian, and some Indian scripts.
|
|
- Highly customizable, using Emacs Lisp code or a graphical
|
|
customization interface.
|
|
- A large number of extensions that add other functionality, including
|
|
a project planner, mail and news reader, debugger interface,
|
|
calendar, and more. Many of these extensions are distributed with
|
|
GNU Emacs; others are available separately.
|
|
|
|
This is a meta-package that installs the default Emacs version,
|
|
compiled without support for X.
