Meeting: Writing Emacs modes

I am going to present a kind of tutorial on how to write a major mode in Emacs. I will start with the basic steps to create a new major mode, discuss some of the coding conventions including what not to do, describe the development environment, and dig deeper into the less trivial aspects such as automatic indentation and interaction with an "inferior" process. I will also talk about some "open" problems, such as highlighting of multi-line constructs.

Stefan is an adjunct professor at the Université de Montréal and an Emacs contributor and maintainer. Don't miss that talk!
