Select Global Font Lock from the Help/Options menu. If do not want to do this every session add the following line to your .emacs file (global-font-lock t) Your .emacs file should be in your home directory and you will need to restart emacs after this is done.

Font-lock mode is a mode that performs color syntax highlighting for other major modes in Emacs. To use font-lock, place the following in your startup file: (cond ((fboundp 'global-font-lock-mode) ;; Turn on font-lock in all modes that support it (global-font-lock-mode t) ;; Maximum colors (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t))) The above code uses the default faces for decoration.

There are several, with various degrees of completeness. With no implied endorsement or recommendation, and in no particular order: Trac supports using reStructuredText as an alternative to wiki markup. This includes support for TracLinks from within RST text via a custom RST reference-directive or, even easier, an interpreted text role 'trac'

Absolutely! The elastic parts of the brace can be fitted in pretty much any color you choose or fluorescent or glow-in-the-dark if you really want to get noticed! Removable braces can also come in different colours, with glitter, and with pictures.

Most butterflies are active in daytime. They have good eyesight. Visual attraction is the major way to attract their opposite sex. The more outstanding they look, the higher chance they win the appreciative of their sex partner and the better chance they will have more offspring. For the butterflies lift style, evolution favor their beauty. Moths are very close related with butterflies and have the similar body structure. They have large wings and scales. However most moths are active at night.

The complete text of the Emacs manual is available on-line via the Info hypertext reader. Type C-h r to display the manual in Info mode. Typing <h> immediately after entering Info will provide a short tutorial on how to use it. To quickly locate the section of the manual which discusses a certain issue, or describes a command or a variable, type C-h i m emacs <RET> i topic <RET>, where topic is the name of the topic, the command, or the variable which you are looking for.

Zsh provides an alternative to the traditional sh-like forms with do, while TEST; do COMMANDS; done allowing you to have the COMMANDS delimited with some other command structure, often {...}. The rules are quite complicated and in most scripts it is probably safer --- and certainly more compatible --- to stick with the sh-like rules. If you are wondering, the following is a rough guide. To make it work you must make sure the TEST itself is clearly delimited.

Google Code Search supports POSIX extended regular expression syntax, excluding backreferences, collating elements, and collation classes. To search for a space character, escape it with a backslash, as in hello,\ world. You can search for literal strings by enclosing the strings in quotation marks, as in "hello, world".

There is an Emacs package called ESS (“Emacs Speaks Statistics”) which provides a standard interface between statistical programs and statistical processes. It is intended to provide assistance for interactive statistical programming and data analysis. Languages supported include: S dialects (R, S 3/4, and S-Plus 3.x/4.x/5.x/6.x/7.x), LispStat dialects (XLispStat, ViSta), SAS, Stata, and BUGS. ESS grew out of the need for bug fixes and extensions to S-mode 4.

Yes, definitely. Inferior R mode provides a readline/history mechanism, object name completion, and syntax-based highlighting of the interaction buffer using Font Lock mode, as well as a very convenient interface to the R help system. Of course, it also integrates nicely with the mechanisms for editing R source using Emacs. One can write code in one Emacs buffer and send whole or parts of it for execution to R; this is helpful for both data analysis and programming.

Emacs 19.29 or thereabouts stopped using a terminal type of "emacs" in shell buffers, and instead sets it to "dumb". Zsh only kicks in its special I'm-inside-emacs initialization when the terminal type is "emacs". Probably the most reliable way of dealing with this is to look for the environment variable $EMACS, which is set to t in Emacs' shell mode. Putting [[ $EMACS = t ]] && unsetopt zle in your .zshrc should be sufficient.

Yes, when you use Emacs, you are apt to use the control key, the shift key and the meta key a lot. This is very annoying to some people (notably vile users), and the rest of us just love the hell out of it. Just give up and submit. Emacs really does stand for "Escape-Meta-Alt-Control-Shift", and not "Editing Macros", as you may have heard from other disreputable sources (like the Emacs author).

Gnus 5.10 requires an Emacs version that is greater than or equal to Emacs 20.7 or XEmacs 21.1. The development versions of Gnus (aka No Gnus) requires Emacs 21 or XEmacs 21.4.

A GNU emacs 'matlab-mode' is available via anonymous ftp from csi.jpl.nasa.gov as pub/matlab/util/matlab-mode.el

E's synchronous call syntax follows the lead of Smalltalk, not Simula-67. The development team decided that Smalltalk's syntax was easier to read and had less visual clutter than Simula's. In addition, one of the design goals of E is to make a language capable of working as the shell language for capability secure operating systems. E is not breaking new ground here, since traditional shell languages prefer space to punctuation.

Take a look at the tutorial. It is pretty short, chopped in easily digestible chunks, and we've spent a lot of time polishing it. If you like to learn by fiddling around, then you can get input examples, by clicking the music images in the tutorial. We try to make LilyPond as good as possible, and that implies that we continually improve the input format. We change the syntax whenever we feel that it will simplify the language as a whole, or ease the learning curve.

FCA attributes are analogous to CoM primitive concepts of binary type. Such an CoM concept might have two items 0 and 1 or, alternatively (and better), it might have a single item 1 while the second value is denoted by null. Thus an object either takes the only concept value 1 or null.

Your startup file can be named either _emacs or .emacs, and should be placed in your "home" directory. If you have both files in your home directory, Emacs will load the .emacs file and ignore _emacs. Your home directory is where the HOME configuration variable tells Emacs it is.
