@c IM-DECLARATION specifies the language and name of this input
method.
-@c DESCRIPTION specifies @c MTEXT as the description text of this
-input method.
+@c VERSION specifies the required minimum version number of the m17n
+library. The format is is "XX.YY.ZZ" where XX is a major version
+number, YY is a minor version number, and ZZ is a patch level.
+
+@c DESCRIPTION specifies the description text of this input method by
+MTEXT-OR-GETTEXT. It it takes the second form, the text is translated
+according to the current locale by "gettext" (if the translation is
+provided).
@c VARIABLE-DECLARATION declares a variable used in this input method.
If a variable must be initialized to the default value, or is to be
contain Latin-1 characters.
@c SYMBOL in the definition of @c KEYSEQ must be the return value of
-the minput_event_to_key () function.
+the minput_event_to_key () function. Under the X window system, you
+can quickly check the value using the @c xev command. For example,
+the return key, the backspace key, and the 0 key on the keypad are
+represented as @c (Return) , @c (BackSpace) , and @c (KP_0)
+respectively. If the shift, control, meta, alt, super, and hyper
+modifiers are used, they are represented by the S- , C- , M- , A- , s-
+, and H- prefixes respectively in this oreder. Thus, "return with
+shift with meta with hyper" is @c (S-M-H-Return) . Note that "a with
+shift" .. "z with shift" are represented simply as A .. Z . Thus "a
+with shift with meta with hyper" is @c (M-H-A) .
@c INTEGER in the definition of @c KEYSEQ must be a valid character
code.

In the first form of @c BRANCH, @c MAP-NAME must be an item that
appears in @c MAP. In this case, if a key sequence matching one of @c
KEYSEQs of @c MAP-NAME is typed, @c BRANCH-ACTIONs are executed.

+These are for supporting surround text handling.

+
+Here, @c N is a positive integer. The value is a character at Nth
+previous position from the current caret of the surrounding text.

+how many preceding characters in the surround text to delete.

+Here, @c N is a positive integer. The value is a character at Nth

(i.e. the one that invoked this command, and the previous one).
If there's an integer argument NUM, it must be positive or negative
-(not zero). If positive, the NUMth event to the last one are
+(not zero). If positive, from the NUMth to the last events are
canceled. If negative the last (- NUM) events are canceled.
If there's a symbol argument, it must be resolved to an integer number
@section im-example2 EXAMPLE 2
This example is for inputting Unicode characters by typing C-u
-(Control-u) followed by four hexadecimal numbers. For instance, when

you type ("^u" means Control-u):
