26
27;; Functionalities
28;; ---------------
29
30;; Robin is a new input method for GNU Emacs. It has three
31;; functionalities:
32
33;; 1. It serves as a simple input method. When the user types an ASCII
34;; key sequence, robin converts it into a string. This functionality
35;; is most likely used to input non-ASCII characters.
36
37;; 2. It converts existing buffer substring into another string.
38;; This functionality is similar to the 1. above, but the input is
39;; buffer substring rather than key strokes.
40
41;; 3. It offers reverse conversion. Each character produced by a
42;; robin rule can hold the original ASCII sequence as a
43;; char-code-property.
44
45
46;; How to define conversion rules
47;; ------------------------------
48
49;; Each conversion rule belongs to a robin package. A robin package is
50;; identified by a string called package name. Use robin-define-package
51;; to define a robin package.
52
53;; (robin-define-package NAME DOCTSTRING
54;; (INPUT1 OUPUT1)
55;; (INPUT2 OUPUT2)
56;; ...)
57
58;; NAME is a string identifying the robin package. It often starts with a
59;; language name and followed by a method name. For example,
60;; french-postfix, greek-prefix, etc.
61
62;; DOCSTRING is a documentation string for the robin method.
63
64;; Each INPUTn is a string. It represents a transliteration of the
65;; corresponding OUTPUTn.
66
67;; Each OUTPUTn is a string or a character that is to be inserted as the
68;; result of conversion.
69
70;; Neither INPUT* nor OUTPUT* are evaluated. Do not use a variable or a
71;; function in those parts. Instead, use a string or character literal
72;; directly.
73
74;; If multiple rules have the same input pattern but different output
75;; patterns, only the latest definition is effective.
76
77
78;; Example
79;; -------
80
81;; (robin-define-package "german-example"
82;; "An example for German
83
84;; AE -> Ä OE -> Ö UE -> Ü
85;; ae -> ä oe -> ö ue -> ü ss -> ß
86
87;; Repeat E or S to input itself.
88
89;; AEE -> AE OEE -> OE UEE -> UE
90;; aee -> ae oee -> oe uee -> ue sss -> ss"
91
92;; ("AE" ?Ä)
93;; ("OE" ?Ö)
94;; ("UE" ?Ü)
95;; ("ae" ?ä)
96;; ("oe" ?ö)
97;; ("ue" ?ü)
98;; ("ss" ?ß)
99
100;; ("AEE" "AE")
101;; ("OEE" "OE")
102;; ("UEE" "UE")
103;; ("aee" "ae")
104;; ("oee" "oe")
105;; ("uee" "ue")
106;; ("sss" "ss")
107;; )
108
109
110;; Using robin as an input method
111;; ------------------------------
112
113;; To use a defined robin package as an input method, register it with
114;; the register-input-method function. For example,
115
116;; (register-input-method
117;; "german-example"
118;; "german"
119;; 'robin-use-package
120;; "de"
121;; "An example for German")
122
123;; The first argument is the robin package name.
124
125;; The second argument is the language environment for which this robin
126;; package is used.
127
128;; Use the symbol `robin-use-package' as the third argument.
129
130;; The fourth argument is the prompt that appears in modeline when this
131;; input method is active.
132
133;; The fifth argument is a documentation string; it may or may not be
134;; identical to the one that you specified in robin-define-package.
135
136;; You can activate the robin input method by typing
137
138;; C-u C-\ german-example RET
139
140;; Just like a quail package, only C-\ suffices for subsequent
141;; invocation.
142
143
144;; Using robin as a buffer translator
145;; ----------------------------------
146
147;; To transliterate buffer substring, use the following functions.
148
149;; (robin-convert-buffer &optional name)
150
151;; Convert the content of current buffer using a robin package.
152
153;; NAME, if given, is a string specifying a robin package. If NAME is
154;; not given or nil, the value of `robin-current-package-name' is used.
155
156;; (robin-convert-region begin end &optional name)
157
158;; Convert the region using a robin package.
159
160;; NAME, if given, is a string specifying a robin package. If NAME is
161;; not given or nil, the value of `robin-current-package-name' is used.
162
163
164;; Reverse conversion
165;; ------------------
166
167;; If the output pattern defined in a robin rule is a character, robin
168;; gives to the character a char-code-property whose key is the symbol
169;; representation of the robin package name and whose value is the input
170;; pattern of that character. For example, with the "german-example"
171;; definition above,
172
173;; (get-char-code-property ?Ä 'german-example) => "AE"
174
175;; etc.
176
177;; If you do not want to assign a char-code-property to a character, use
178;; a string of length one as the output pattern, e.g.
179
180;; (robin-define-package "german-example2"
181;; "Another example for German."
182
183;; ("AE" "Ä")
184;; ("OE" "Ö")
185;; ...)
186
187;; Then
188
189;; (get-char-code-property ?Ä 'german-example2) => nil
190
191;; etc.
192
193;; If multiple input patterns in a robin package generate the same
194;; character, the lastly used input pattern is given as the value of the
195;; char-code-property.
196
197;; There are two functions for reverse conversion.
198
199;; (robin-invert-buffer &optional name)
200
201;; Apply reverse conversion to the content of current buffer. NAME, if
202;; given, is a string specifying a robin package. If NAME is not given
203;; or nil, the value of `robin-current-package-name' is used.
204
205;; (robin-invert-region begin end &optional name)
206
207;; Apply reverse conversion to the region. NAME, if given, is a string
208;; specifying a robin package. If NAME is not given or nil, the value of
209;; `robin-current-package-name' is used.
210
211
212;; Modifying an existing rule
213;; --------------------------
214
215;; Use the robin-modify-package function to modify a rule already defined
216;; in a Robin package.
217
218;; (robin-modify-package name input output)
219
220;; Change a rule in an already defined Robin package.
221;; NAME is the string specifying a robin package.
222;; INPUT is a string that specifies the input pattern.
223;; OUTPUT is either a character or a string to be generated.
224
225
226;; The name of the game
227;; --------------------
228
229;; As stated in Murphy's law, it took longer than expected to develop the
230;; very first version of Japanese input subsystem in NEmacs (Nihongo
231;; Emacs). So the subsystem was named "TAMAGO", which is an acronym of
232;; "TAkusan Matasete GOmennasai" (Sorry to have kept you waiting so
233;; long). "Tamago" as a Japanese word means "egg", so the word "egg" was
234;; also used for related filenames and function names.
235
236;; Since it was designed to input CJK characters, Egg was rather big as a
237;; subsystem. So later in Mule (Multilingual Enhancement to GNU Emacs),
238;; we designed and implemented a smaller input subsystem. We had to give
239;; it a name. "So, what's smaller than an egg?" "A quail egg, of
240;; course." Therefore it was named "quail".
241
242;; As time went by, quail became more and more complicated. That
243;; tendency was inevitable as long as we support CJK input. However, if
244;; we can limit ourselves to non-CJK characters, a much simpler
245;; transliteration mechanism suffices. So I wrote "robin", whose name
246;; was chosen because a robin is smaller than a quail. I could name it
247;; "hummingbird" or "nightingale", but those spellings seemed too long.
248
