- ;;; autoinsert.el
-
- ;;; Abstract:
- ;;;
- ;;; The following defines an association list for files to be
- ;;; automatically inserted when a new file is created, and a function
- ;;; which automatically inserts these files; the idea is to insert
- ;;; default files much as the mode is automatically set using
- ;;; auto-mode-alist.
- ;;;
- ;;; The auto-insert-alist consists of dotted pairs of
- ;;; ( REGEXP . FILENAME ) where REGEXP is a regular expression, and
- ;;; FILENAME is the file name of a file which is to be inserted into
- ;;; all new files matching the regular expression with which it is
- ;;; paired.
- ;;;
- ;;; To use:
- ;;; load autoinsert.el
- ;;; setq auto-insert-directory to an appropriate value, which
- ;;; must end in "/"
