Emacs Major Mode for TXL (fork from txl.ca)

Contributed by Markus Stoy, mstoy@gmx.de, Rostock (Germany), November/December 2003

Updated for Emacs/X-Emacs compatibility, Ivan N. Veselov, veselov@gmail.com, October 2008

A few updates and enhancements, 8dcc, see https://github.com/8dcc/txl-mode.el

Manual installation

-------------------

1. Copy the file txl-mode.el to a directory where Emacs can find it

   (somewhere within load-path).  To install for yourself only, 

   this can often be in a directory called ".elisp" in your home directory.

   To install for everyone on your system, it should be in the Emacs 

   site-lisp directory, often "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp".

2. Add the following two lines to the Emacs init file (normally ".emacs"

   or "init.el") in your home directory.

    (require 'txl-mode)

    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\([tT]xl\\|[gG]rm\\|[gG]rammar\\|[rR]ul\\(es\\)?\\|[mM]od\\(ule\\)?\\)$" . txl-mode))

3. Test by editing a TXL source file.

Installation using straight.el

------------------------------

Add the following to your emacs init file.

    (straight-use-package

     '(txl-mode :type git :host github :repo "8dcc/txl-mode.el"))

    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\([tT]xl\\|[gG]rm\\|[gG]rammar\\|[rR]ul\\(es\\)?\\|[mM]od\\(ule\\)?\\)$" . txl-mode))

Features

--------

   - syntax highlighting (with font-lock-mode)

   - automatic indentation according to TXL style guide (perhaps stil buggy...)

   - compile/debug/run TXL program from within Emacs

   - comment/uncomment regions

   - insert skeletion rules/functions/defines, find and insert matching end's

   - abbreviations for keywords (with abbrev-mode; scroll down to see a list)

   - TXL submenu which contains all new functions and their keyboard shortcuts

Wish list

---------

   - navigation (jump to nonterminal/function/rule under cursor, 

     next/previous nonterminal/function/rule, ...)

   - use comint for run/debug/compile instead of simple shell-command? 

     (which looks ugly under Windows)

Known bugs

----------

   - 'x% is highlighted as comment

   - compile and debug don't work under Windows
