Short: HTML-mode & lots more for XDME
Author: Fergus Duniho
Uploader: fdnh@troi.cc.rochester.edu
Type: text/edit
XDME Excelsior Suite 2.0 - A suite of files and programs that makes XDME
excel even more. Automatic selection of localized major modes: C, ARexx,
HTML, LISP, Outlining, Text, etc.; Spell Checking; Diary Maintenance; Many
Emacs-like features and keymappings; Pagination; XPK support; Various GTB
and ReqTools requesters; Many other features.
Here are some of XES's features:
I. Localized major modes
A. Text mode. This mode provides automatic indenting of
paragraphs.
B. ARexx mode. This mode includes automatic line indentation
and a set of macros for inserting various ARexx commands.
C. Two C modes, ANSI and K&R, complete with automatic line
indentation.
D. HTML mode and Amigaguide mode for writing hypertext
documents. Both include a set of macros for inserting
various hypertext instructions.
E. LISP mode. This mode is also useful for Installer scripts,
as well as for any other language that uses parentheses in
the same way as LISP does. It provides automatic indenting
for LISP-like code.
F. A general programming mode for other languages. This mode
provides a modicum of automatic indenting to make
programming a bit easier.
G. An outline mode for writing outlines, such as this one.
H. A proofs mode for writing logical proofs. (I'm a philosophy
major.)
II. Automatic major mode selection upon loading.
III. The maintenance of a "Windows" menu that keeps track of all of
XDME's windows.
IV. Different styles of editing integrated with each other.
A. Cutting and copying for all block types.
B. Regions and rectangles, a la Emacs.
V. XPK support, including automatic packing or encryption upon
saving, and decryption with a password requester.
VI. The maintenance of a personal diary, complete with password
encryption and decryption.
VII. Spellchecking via the AlphaSpell program and its accompanying
dictionary.
VIII. Automatic pagination via the Paginate program.
IX. Various find and replace routines, including a Find requester
and a Replace requester. The Replace requester lets you
replace the word at the cursor, every occurance of the find
string in the text, or every occurance in a block.
X. Various Emacs like keymappings.
XI. Various macros that make it easier to write other macros for
XDME.
Here are the changes made with the latest version:
I. Various bug fixes
A. SaveFile.xdme compensates for a new bug in XDME.
B. ARexx mode more accurately matches END's with the
appropriate DO or SELECT.
C. Mode.xdme recognizes the new modes, and it is better at
selecting the correct mode.
D. "REXX:" replaced with "XES:Rexx/" in various ARexx scripts.
E. Wholeword searching no longer overwrites words in caps.
II. New features
A. In Outline Mode, pressing the tab key will now properly
format roman numeral headings of more than one letter in
length, such as "II." or "VIII." But you will still need
to use shift-tab for headings such as "I." and "V."
B. Diary.xdme now gets the Diary drawer and the author's name
from environment variables instead of having these values
hard coded in the script. The Install script sets these
environment variables.
C. Interactive spell checking with AlphaSpell V.
D. GUI for AlphaSpell V. Better than the one for AlphaSpell
IV.
E. New Rexx scripts
1. VER.xdme updates version strings in scripts.
2. Others. This is freeware. Expect better documentation
from my shareware. Yes, I'm being lazy. Most of the
REXX scripts simply aid in other tasks anyway, and you
don't have to know about them to use them.
III. Some obsolete files deleted.
IV. Changing to version.revision version numbers. Jumped to version
2.0 to make this change clean. Each REXX script has its own
version.revision number, where version 1.0 is how it was when I
wrote VER.xdme.
