module('_M')]]

-- Markdown:
-- ## Overview
--
-- Note that while language-specific modules can only be used by files of that
-- language, they persist in Textadept's Lua state. Because of this, it is not
-- recommended to set global functions or variables and depend on them, as they
-- may be inadvertantly overwritten. Keep them inside the module.
--
-- ## Structure
--
-- Each module should have an `init.lua` that `require`s all submodules it
-- needs. For an example, see `modules/textadept/init.lua`.
--
-- ## Language-Specific Modules
--
-- The following is a list of recommended features for Language-Specific
-- modules. They are all entirely optional.
--
-- ### Snippets
--
-- [Snippets][] for common code constructs.
--
-- [Snippets]: _M.textadept.snippets.html
--
-- ### Commands
--
-- #### Run
--
-- If the code can be run by an interpreter or other executable, create a [run
-- command][] for it as well as an [error format][] for the ability to jump to
-- the position in a file where the error occured.
--
-- For example:
--
--     _M.textadept.run.run_command.lua = 'lua %(filename)'
--
-- [run command]: _M.textadept.run.html#run_command
-- [error format]: _M.textadept.run.html#error_detail
--
-- #### Compile
--
-- If the code can be compiled by an executable, create a [compile command][]
-- for it.
--
-- For example:
--
--     _M.textadept.run.compile_command.lua = 'luac %(filename)'
--
-- [compile command]: _M.textadept.run.html#compile_command
--
-- #### Block Comment
--
-- Create a [comment prefix][] for it so code can be easily commented and
-- uncommented.
--
-- [comment prefix]: _M.textadept.editing.html#comment_string
--
-- For example:
--
--     _M.textadept.editing.comment_string.lua = '--'
--
-- [comment prefix]: _M.textadept.editing.html#comment_string
--
-- ### Buffer Properties
--
-- Add a `set_buffer_properties` function with default buffer properties for
-- code like tab and indentation settings.
--
-- For example:
--
--     function set_buffer_properties()
--       local buffer = buffer
--       buffer.use_tabs = false
--       buffer.tab_width = 2
--       buffer.indent = 2
--     end
--
-- ### Context Menu
--
-- Language-specific context menus, accessible by right-clicking inside the
-- view, can be defined as:
--
--     context_menu = {
--       { 'label1', action1 },
--       { 'label2', action2 },
--       ...
--     }
--
-- See `modules/textadept/menu.lua` for examples on how to define menus.
