Publisher's Synopsis
GNU Emacs is much more than a text editor; over the years it has expanded into an entire work flow environment. Programmers are impressed by its integrated debugging and project management features. Emacs is also a multi-lingual text editor, can handle all your email and Usenet news needs, display web pages, and even has a diary and a calendar for your appointments. When you tire of all the work you can accomplish with it, Emacs contains games to play.
Features include:
- Special editing modes for 25 programming languages including Java, Perl, C, C++, Objective C, Fortran, Lisp, Scheme, and Pascal.
- Special scripting language modes for Bash, other common shells, and creating Makefiles for GNU/Linux, Unix, Windows/DOS and VMS systems
- Support for typing and displaying in 21 non-English languages, including Chinese, Czech, Hindi, Hebrew, Russian, Vietnamese, and all Western European languages
- Creates Postscript output from plain text files and has special editing modes for LaTeX and TeX
- Compile and debug from inside Emacs
- Maintain extensive ChangeLogs
- Extensive file merge and diff functions
- Directory navigation: flag, move, and delete files and sub-directories recursively
- Run shell commands from inside Emacs, or even use Emacs as a shell itself (Eshell)
- Version control management for release and beta versions, with CVS and RCS integration.
- And much more!
