;; Emacs markdown-mode
;; ===================
;; 
;; [markdown-mode][] is a major mode for [GNU Emacs][] which provides syntax
;; highlighting and supporting commands for editing [Markdown][] files.  It
;; provides keybindings and commands for inserting Markdown elements and to
;; assist in calling Markdown to parse the source code or preview the document
;; in a browser.  It also, optionally, provides syntax highlighting for
;; [wiki links](#itex) and embedded [itex](#itex) mathematical expressions.
;; 
;; Markdown is a simple plain-text-based markup language for documents designed
;; to be translated into HTML.  It is designed to be as readable as possible.
;; Markdown is also the name of the original text-to-HTML conversion tool
;; written in Perl.  Since its creation it has become very popular and has been
;; integrated into a number of wiki and weblog packages (see the [links](#links)
;; below).
;; 
;; markdown-mode is free software, licensed under the [GNU GPL][].

;; 
;; Download
;; --------
;; 
;; The latest version is [markdown-mode 1.5][current], released on October 11,
;; 2007.  This [documentation](readme.txt) is also available in its original
;; Markdown form.
;; 
;; This release contains significant changes from the previous version,
;; particularly in the area of syntax highlighting.  There are still a few
;; highlighting quirks, but these are mostly side effects of using Emacs'
;; multi-line font lock rather than using a custom function to parse the
;; document.  All [previous versions][archive], such as
;; [markdown-mode-1.4.el](archive/markdown-mode-1.4.el), are still available as
;; well.
;; 
;; This mode has only been tested on Emacs 21.4 and 22.0.  Please let me know
;; if there are problems on other versions.  If you find any bugs, such as
;; syntax highlighting issues that aren't already acknowledged in the TODO
;; list, please [email](mailto:jrblevin@sdf.lonestar.org) me a test case to
;; look at.
;; 
;; markdown-mode is also available in the Debian [emacs-goodies-el][]
;; package, as of the 27.0-1 revision.
;; 
;; [current]: http://jrblevin.freeshell.org/software/markdown-mode/markdown-mode.el
;; [archive]: http://jrblevin.freeshell.org/software/markdown-mode/archive
;; [emacs-goodies-el]: http://packages.debian.org/emacs%2Dgoodies%2Del
;; 
;; Installation
;; ------------
;; 
;; Add the following lines to your `.emacs` file to associate markdown-mode with
;; `.mdml` files.  There doesn't seem to be a consensus on an official file
;; extension so you can change this to `.text`, `.md`, `.mdt`, or whatever you
;; call your markdown files.
;; 
;;     (autoload 'markdown-mode "markdown-mode.el"
;;        "Major mode for editing Markdown files" t)
;;     (setq auto-mode-alist
;;        (cons '("\\.mdml$" . markdown-mode) auto-mode-alist))
;; 
;; Make sure to place this file somewhere in the load-path.
;; 
;; Instiki and itex
;; ----------------
;; 
;; Besides supporting the basic Markdown syntax, this mode also includes support
;; for documents including embedded mathematics written [itex][] and syntax
;; highlighting for `[[Wiki Links]]`.  These features are designed for editing
;; pages on math-enabled wikis such as [Instiki][].  One way to do this is to simply
;; copy the text from your browser to Emacs, edit the page using markdown-mode,
;; and then copy it back when you are finished.  The other way is to use a
;; plugin such as [Mozex][] for Mozilla/Firefox which allows you to call an
;; external editor such as Emacs to edit textareas.  You can also tell [Mozex][]
;; to give the temporary file a particular extension, such as `.mdml`, so that
;; markdown-mode will be loaded automatically.
;; 
;; To enable syntax highlighting for itex equations and wiki links, edit
;; `markdown-mode.el` and change `(defvar markdown-enable-itex nil)` to
;; `(defvar markdown-enable-itex t)`.
;; 
;;  [itex]:    http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/~distler/blog/itex2MMLcommands.html
;;  [Instiki]: http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/instiki
;;  [Mozex]:   http://mozex.mozdev.org
;; 
;; 
;; Usage
;; -----
;; 
;; No configuration is necessary, although there are a few things that can be
;; customized (<kbd>M-x customize-mode</kbd>).
;; 
;; The element insertion keybindings are based on those of [html-helper-mode][].
;; Commands are grouped by prefixes based on their function.  For example,
;; commands dealing with headers begin with <kdb>C-c C-t</kbd>.  You can obtain
;; a list of keybindings by pressing <kbd>C-c C-h</kbd> in Emacs.
;; 
;; Some commands behave differently depending on whether there is an active
;; selection.  For example, if there is no active selection <kbd>C-c C-a l</kbd>
;; will simply insert an empty `[]()` link.  Otherwise, it will use the selected
;; text as the link text.  Most other formatting commands behave similarly.
;; 
;; TODO
;; ----
;; 
;; * Highlight inline HTML.
;; * itex: Separate font locking for `\label{}` elements inside equations.
;; * When inserting links (and maybe other elements), the selected should not
;;   remain in the kill ring.
;; * Indentation and filling of list items.
;; * A complete syntax table.
;; * Hanging indents of list items are highlighted as preformatted text.
;; * Use abbrev for quick entry of itex math mode symbols.
;; * Multi-line font lock in Emacs can be unreliable.  What we really need is
;;   a custom syntax-highlighting function.
