They can be highlighted if you so desire using appropriate -class arguments and/or the variable mmm-delimiter-face. They are also -in an appropriate major mode, or non-mode as the case may be. - -** Nested Submodes - -Nested submodes are now vaguely supported. - -** RPM Spec File - -An RPM spec file, contributed by <bishop@platypus.bc.ca>, is now -included for people who wish to build their own SRPM to install from. - -** New Submode Classes - -Many thanks to Joe Kelsey for writing a very intelligent class for -editing Noweb files, and to Alan Shutko for one for CWeb files. We -also have a mode for SGML DTD definitions from Yann Dirson. - -** Numerous bugfixes and small improvements - - -* Changes in MMM Mode 0.4.7 - -** Multiple Decoration Levels - -You now have finer control over how colorful your submode regions are, -via `mmm-submode-decoration-level'. Level 0 turns coloring off--no -messing around with faces required. Level 1 (default) is the same as -in previous versions. Level 2 colors regions according to function: -initialization, cleanup, output, declaration, comment, etc. - -** Preferred Major Modes - -The variable `mmm-major-mode-preferences' lets you tell MMM what modes -you prefer for different programming languages and they will be used -by all submode classes. - -** New Submode Classes - -New submode classes for JSP and ePerl are included. A major bug in -the handling of embedded Java (and other C-type languages) was fixed, -so the JSP class should work consistently. - - -* MMM Mode 0.4.6 is a bug-fix release with one user-visible change: - -** New Submode Class for RPM Spec Files - -Contributed by Marcus Harnisch, the `rpm' submode class allows editing -appropriate parts of RPM spec files in shell-script mode. - - -* Changes in MMM Mode 0.4.5 - -** Font-Lock works again in XEmacs - -The MMM code to handle font-locking broke in XEmacs several versions -back due to differences in the font-lock implementation between Emacs -and XEmacs. It appears to be working once again. - -** Here-Document submode class improved - -Here-document names such as <<TEXT_EOF and <<END_PERL_CODE are now -correctly recognized, and `mmm-here-doc-mode-alist' allows you to -define your own mappings from here-document names to submodes. - - -* Changes in MMM Mode 0.4.4 - -** Tab Completion in `mmm-ify-by-class' (`C-c % C-c') - -When interactively specifying a submode class, completion on all -defined public (not internal/private) submode classes is available. - -** Submode classes can now be autoloaded - -You don't need (require 'mmm-mason) or (require 'mmm-sample) in your -.emacs file any more; all the supplied submode classes that are not -automatically loaded are autoloaded from their files of definition. - -** Here-Document submode class can now recognize any submode - -As long as the name of the here-document is or begins with the name of -the appropriate submode, suitably mangled, such as <<HTML or -<<HTML_MODE or <<HTML_MODE_EOF, it should be correctly recognized. - -** New File Variables submode class - -Actually, this is an old submode class that now works (better than -before) with the new post-0.3.8 syntax for class definition. It is a -good candidate for membership in `mmm-global-classes' if you use many -file-local variables, but is not there by default. - -** New flags :include-{front,back} - -If the keywords INCLUDE-FRONT or INCLUDE-BACK are set to non-nil -values in a submode class definition, the corresponding delimiter will -be included inside the submode region. - -** New values for :{front,back}-offset - -The keywords FRONT-OFFSET and BACK-OFFSET can now be function to call, -such as `beginning-of-line' or `end-of-line', or lists of values to -apply in sequence, such as (end-of-line 1). - -** Search for next region now starts at end of previous one - -...rather than at the end of the previous region's ending delimiter. -This allows matching regions ended only by the start of the next one. - - -* Changes in MMM Mode 0.4.3 - -** Syntax of Universal Class Changed - -Instead of %[MODE]% ... %[/MODE]%, the universal class now uses -{%MODE%} ... {%/MODE%} which isn't quite as ugly and doesn't to my -knowledge conflict with any other syntax. - -** Some Bugs under Emacs 19 and XEmacs Fixed - - -* Changes in MMM Mode 0.4.2 - -** Global Classes and `Universal' Class - -The new variable `mmm-global-classes' is the inverse of `mmm-classes' -in that it contains submode classes which apply to all MMM Mode -buffers unless turned off manually with file-local variables. By -default, it contains the class `universal', which defines the syntax -%[MODE]% ... %[/MODE]% to specify regions of any mode. This allows, -for instance, example code embedded in an email to be both edited by -the sender and viewed by the receiver in an appropriate mode. - -** New Embperl Submode Class - -The new supplied submode class `embperl', which can be loaded with -(require 'mmm-sample), detects the Embperl syntax [+...+] (and so on) -for embedded Perl code. - - -* Changes in MMM Mode 0.4.1 - -** Font Lock Parsing Speed Improved - -Extra regions were being parsed due to an error in finding the right -regions, slowing down the parsing considerably. This has been fixed. - - -* Changes in MMM Mode 0.4.0 - -** Improved Local Variable Saving - -Local variables can now be saved for only some major modes, as well as -both globally, per-buffer, or per-submode region. This facility is -now used to save the font-lock cache state, possible improving the -font-lock support. See the docs for `mmm-save-local-variables'. - -** Get and Set Class Parameters - -The functions `mmm-[get,set]-class-parameters' do just that. The -latter modifies the definition of a submode class, affecting all -subsequent applications of that class. - -** New Implementation for MMM Global Mode - -The implementation of MMM Global Mode has been changed from the -"stack-walk" method to the "post-command-hook" method used by -global-font-lock-mode. This is arguably cleaner, but more -importantly, waits until after all local variables and text are loaded -before trying to enabling MMM Mode. - - -* MMM Mode 0.3.10 is a bug-fix release with no user-visible changes - - -* MMM Mode 0.3.9 is a bug-fix release with no user-visible changes - - -* Changes in MMM Mode 0.3.8 - -** IMPORTANT: Default key bindings have changed. - -The MMM Mode commands, including interactive MMM-ification and -re-parsing buffer regions, are now bound by default to key sequences -of the form `C-c % C-<letter>', rather than `C-c % <letter>' as -in previous versions. Key sequences of the form `C-c % <letter>' are -now reserved for submode region insertion. The old behavior can be -restored by setting the variable `mmm-use-old-command-keys' to a -non-nil value before MMM Mode is loaded--then insertion commands are -bound to `C-c % C-<letter>' sequences. - -** New Global Mode added - -MMM Global Mode can now turn MMM Mode on automatically in all buffers, -or only in buffers that have associated submode classes. It replaces -the previous function `mmm-add-find-file-hook', which still works for -now. A side effect of this change is that it is no longer necessary -to use `mmm-add-mode-ext-class': `mmm-mode-ext-classes-alist' can be -modified directly. - -The hack used by MMM Global Mode to insinuate itself into all buffers -is different from, but vaguely similar to, the one used by FSF Emacs' -Global Font Lock Mode. In order that future writers of global modes -don't have to reinvent the wheel, MMM Global Mode provides the hook -`mmm-major-mode-hook' which is run (in theory) whenever a major mode -starts up. Perhaps in future this will be provided in a separate -package. - -** Automatic submode region insertion commands - -Submode classes can now define skeletons for automatic insertion of -submode regions with delimiters. For example, when using the Mason -class, the key sequence `C-c % %' will (by default) insert the text -`<% -!- %>' with point where indicated and submode region already -present. These commands also wrap around words as described in the -documentation of `skeleton-insert'. - -** Info Documentation File - -MMM Mode now has an (admittedly incomplete) manual in Texinfo format. -It can be found in the files `mmm.info' or `mmm.texinfo' in the -distribution. - -** Automatic Installation - -MMM Mode now uses GNU automake/autoconf for ease of installation. See -the files README and INSTALL for more information. - -** Changed submode class specification format - -This change affects only people who define their own submode classes. -The format for defining submode classes has changed; it now uses -keyword arguments for clarity and has a few more possible arguments, -including skeletons for submode region insertion. |
