-In Emacs, this file should be read in -*- Outline -*- mode.
-
-* Introduction
-
-This directory contains an Emacs mode for Scala programs. This mode
-works only in GNU Emacs 21.1 or later. In particular, it doesn't work
-on any version of XEmacs, or any 20.x version of GNU Emacs.
-
-The mode is currently very basic, and offers:
-
- - syntax highlighting,
-
- - primitive automatic indentation,
-
- - support for interaction with the Scala interpreter.
-
-* Installation
-
-Put all ".el" files in a location where Emacs can find them, i.e. a
-directory appearing in the "load-path" variable.
-
-Compile all ".el" files (optional but recommended).
-
-Add the following line to your Emacs startup file, usually "~/.emacs":
-
- (require 'scala-mode-auto)
-
-Restart Emacs or evaluate the above line.
-
-From that point on, loading a file whose name ends in ".scala"
-automatically turns Scala mode on. It can also be turned on manually
-using the "scala-mode" command.
-
-* Known limitations
-
-This Emacs mode is currently very basic because we only have very
-little time to work on it. Patches for it will therefore be happily
-accepted.
-
-** Automatic indentation
-
-Automatic indentation is incredibly basic and doesn't work correctly
-in many situations, including:
-
- - multi-line "case" statements, e.g.
-
- case Pair(x,y) =>
- Console.println(x);
- Console.println(y); // not indented correctly
-
- - multi-line "case" patterns, e.g.
-
- case 'a' | 'b' | 'c'
- | 'd' | 'e' | 'f' // not indented correctly
-
- - multi-line comments, e.g.
-
- /*
- * // not indented correctly
- */ // not indented correctly
-
- - other cases of single-line constructs as soon as they span
- multiple lines.
