-@findex skeleton-insert
-  Skeletons are a shorthand extension to the Lisp language, where various
-atoms directly perform either actions on the current buffer or rudimentary
-flow control mechanisms.  Skeletons are interpreted by the function
-@code{skeleton-insert}.
-
-  A skeleton is a list starting with an interactor, which is usually a
-prompt-string, or @code{nil} when not needed, but can also be a Lisp
-expression for complex read functions or for returning some calculated value.
-The rest of the list are any number of elements as described in the following
-table:
-
-@table @asis
-@item @code{"@var{string}"}, @code{?@var{c}}, @code{?\@var{c}}
-@vindex skeleton-transformation
-Insert string or character.  Literal strings and characters are passed through
-@code{skeleton-transformation} when that is non-@code{nil}.
-@item @code{?\n}
-@c ??? something seems very wrong here.
-Insert a newline and align under current line, but not if this is the
-last element of a skeleton and the newline would be inserted at end of
-line, or this is the first element and the newline would be inserted
-at beginning of line.  Use newline character @code{?\n} to prevent
-alignment.  Use @code{"\n"} as the first or last string element of a
-skeleton to insert a newline unconditionally.
-@item @code{_}
-Interesting point.  When wrapping skeletons around successive regions, they are
-put at these places.  Point is left at first @code{_} where nothing is
-wrapped.
-@item @code{-}
-Interesting point with no inter-region interaction; overrides
-interesting point set by @code{_}.
-@item @code{>}
-Indent line according to major mode.  When following element is @code{_}, and
-there is an interregion that will be wrapped here, indent that interregion.
-@item @code{&}
-Logical and.  If preceding element moved point, i.e., usually inserted
-something, do following element.
-@item @code{|}
-Logical xor.  If preceding element didn't move point, i.e., usually inserted
-nothing, do following element.
-@item @code{@@}
-Add position to @code{skeleton-positions}.
-@item @code{-@var{number}}
-Delete preceding number characters.  Depends on value of
-@code{skeleton-untabify}.
-@item @code{()} or @code{nil}
-Ignored.
-@item @var{lisp-expression}
-Evaluated, and the return value is again interpreted as a skeleton element.
-@item @code{str}
-A special variable that, when evaluated the first time, usually prompts
-for input according to the skeleton's interactor.  It is then set to the
-return value resulting from the interactor.  Each subskeleton has its local
-copy of this variable.
-@item @code{v1}, @code{v2}
-Skeleton-local user variables.
-@item @code{'@var{expression}}
-Evaluate following Lisp expression for its side-effect, but prevent it from
-being interpreted as a skeleton element.
-@item @var{skeleton}
-Subskeletons are inserted recursively, not once, but as often as the user
-enters something at the subskeletons interactor.  Thus there must be a
-@code{str} in the subskeleton.  They can also be used non-interactively, when
-prompt is a lisp-expression that returns successive list-elements.
-@item @code{resume:}
-Ignored.  Execution resumes here if the user quits during skeleton
-interpretation.
-@item @code{help}
-Help form during interaction with the user or @code{nil}.
-@item @code{input}
-Initial input (a string or a cons with index) while reading the input.
-@item @code{quit}
-A constant which is non-@code{nil} when the @code{resume:} section was entered
-because the user quit.
-@end table
-
-@findex skeleton-further-elements
-  Some modes also use other skeleton elements they themselves defined.  For
-example in shell script mode's skeletons you will find @code{<} which does a
-rigid indentation backwards, or in CC mode's skeletons you find the
-self-inserting elements @code{@{} and @code{@}}.  These are defined by the
-buffer-local variable @code{skeleton-further-elements} which is a list of
-variables bound while interpreting a skeleton.
-
-@findex define-skeleton
-  The macro @code{define-skeleton} defines a command for interpreting a
-skeleton.  The first argument is the command name, the second is a
-documentation string, and the rest is an interactor and any number of skeleton
-elements together forming a skeleton.  This skeleton is assigned to a variable
-of the same name as the command and can thus be overridden from your
-@file{~/.emacs} file (@pxref{Init File,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).
