+
+Abbrevs
+*******
+
+ An "abbrev" is a word which "expands" into some different text.
+Abbrevs are defined by the user to expand in specific ways. For
+example, you might define `foo' as an abbrev expanding to `find outer
+otter'. With this abbrev defined, you would be able to get `find outer
+otter ' into the buffer by typing `f o o <SPC>'.
+
+ Abbrevs expand only when Abbrev mode (a minor mode) is enabled.
+Disabling Abbrev mode does not cause abbrev definitions to be discarded,
+but they do not expand until Abbrev mode is enabled again. The command
+`M-x abbrev-mode' toggles Abbrev mode; with a numeric argument, it
+turns Abbrev mode on if the argument is positive, off otherwise. *Note
+Minor Modes::. `abbrev-mode' is also a variable; Abbrev mode is on
+when the variable is non-`nil'. The variable `abbrev-mode'
+automatically becomes local to the current buffer when it is set.
+
+ Abbrev definitions can be "mode-specific"--active only in one major
+mode. Abbrevs can also have "global" definitions that are active in
+all major modes. The same abbrev can have a global definition and
+various mode-specific definitions for different major modes. A
+mode-specific definition for the current major mode overrides a global
+definition.
+
+ You can define Abbrevs interactively during an editing session. You
+can also save lists of abbrev definitions in files and reload them in
+later sessions. Some users keep extensive lists of abbrevs that they
+load in every session.
+
+ A second kind of abbreviation facility is called the "dynamic
+expansion". Dynamic abbrev expansion happens only when you give an
+explicit command and the result of the expansion depends only on the
+current contents of the buffer. *Note Dynamic Abbrevs::.
+
+* Menu:
+
+* Defining Abbrevs:: Defining an abbrev, so it will expand when typed.
+* Expanding Abbrevs:: Controlling expansion: prefixes, canceling expansion.
+* Editing Abbrevs:: Viewing or editing the entire list of defined abbrevs.
+* Saving Abbrevs:: Saving the entire list of abbrevs for another session.
+* Dynamic Abbrevs:: Abbreviations for words already in the buffer.

+
+Defining Abbrevs
+================
+
+`C-x a g'
+ Define an abbrev to expand into some text before point
+ (`add-global-abbrev').
+
+`C-x a l'
+ Similar, but define an abbrev available only in the current major
+ mode (`add-mode-abbrev').
+
+`C-x a i g'
+ Define a word in the buffer as an abbrev
+ (`inverse-add-global-abbrev').
+
+`C-x a i l'
+ Define a word in the buffer as a mode-specific abbrev
+ (`inverse-add-mode-abbrev').
+
+`M-x kill-all-abbrevs'
+ After this command, no abbrev definitions remain in effect.
+
+ The usual way to define an abbrev is to enter the text you want the
+abbrev to expand to, position point after it, and type `C-x a g'
+(`add-global-abbrev'). This reads the abbrev itself using the
+minibuffer, and then defines it as an abbrev for one or more words
+before point. Use a numeric argument to say how many words before point
+should be taken as the expansion. For example, to define the abbrev
+`foo' as in the example above, insert the text `find outer otter', then
+type
+`C-u 3 C-x a g f o o <RET>'.
+
+ An argument of zero to `C-x a g' means to use the contents of the
+region as the expansion of the abbrev being defined.
+
+ The command `C-x a l' (`add-mode-abbrev') is similar, but defines a
+mode-specific abbrev. Mode-specific abbrevs are active only in a
+particular major mode. `C-x a l' defines an abbrev for the major mode
+in effect at the time `C-x a l' is typed. The arguments work the same
+way they do for `C-x a g'.
+
+ If the text of an abbrev you want is already in the buffer instead of
+the expansion, use command `C-x a i g' (`inverse-add-global-abbrev')
+instead of `C-x a g', or use `C-x a i l' (`inverse-add-mode-abbrev')
+instead of `C-x a l'. These commands are called "inverse" because they
+invert the meaning of the argument found in the buffer and the argument
+read using the minibuffer.
+
+ To change the definition of an abbrev, just add the new definition.
+You will be asked to confirm if the abbrev has a prior definition. To
+remove an abbrev definition, give a negative argument to `C-x a g' or
+`C-x a l'. You must choose the command to specify whether to kill a
+global definition or a mode-specific definition for the current mode,
+since those two definitions are independent for one abbrev.
+
+ `M-x kill-all-abbrevs' removes all existing abbrev definitions.

-
-Particular Dates
-................
-
- Calendar mode provides commands for moving to a particular date
-specified in various ways.
-
-`g d'
- Move point to specified date (`calendar-goto-date').
-
-`o'
- Center calendar around specified month (`calendar-other-month').
-
-`.'
- Move point to today's date (`calendar-goto-today').
-
- `g d' (`calendar-goto-date') prompts for a year, a month, and a day
-of the month, and then moves to that date. Because the calendar
-includes all dates from the beginning of the current era, you must type
-the year in its entirety; that is, type `1990', not `90'.
-
- `o' (`calendar-other-month') prompts for a month and year, then
-centers the three-month calendar around that month.
-
- You can return to today's date with `.' (`calendar-goto-today').
-

-File: xemacs.info, Node: Scroll Calendar, Next: Mark and Region, Prev: Calendar Motion, Up: Calendar/Diary
-
-Scrolling the Calendar through Time
------------------------------------
-
- The calendar display scrolls automatically through time when you
-move out of the visible portion. You can also scroll it manually.
-Imagine that the calendar window contains a long strip of paper with
-the months on it. Scrolling it means moving the strip so that new
-months become visible in the window.
-
-`C-x <'
- Scroll calendar one month forward (`scroll-calendar-left').
-
-`C-x >'
- Scroll calendar one month backward (`scroll-calendar-right').
-
-`C-v'
-`<NEXT>'
- Scroll calendar three months forward
- (`scroll-calendar-left-three-months').
-
-`M-v'
-`<PRIOR>'
- Scroll calendar three months backward
- (`scroll-calendar-right-three-months').
-
- The most basic calendar scroll commands scroll by one month at a
-time. This means that there are two months of overlap between the
-display before the command and the display after. `C-x <' scrolls the
-calendar contents one month to the left; that is, it moves the display
-forward in time. `C-x >' scrolls the contents to the right, which
-moves backwards in time.
-
- The commands `C-v' and `M-v' scroll the calendar by an entire
-"screenful"--three months--in analogy with the usual meaning of these
-commands. `C-v' makes later dates visible and `M-v' makes earlier
-dates visible. These commands take a numeric argument as a repeat
-count; in particular, since `C-u' multiplies the next command by four,
-typing `C-u C-v' scrolls the calendar forward by a year and typing `C-u
-M-v' scrolls the calendar backward by a year.
-
- The function keys <NEXT> and <PRIOR> are equivalent to `C-v' and
-`M-v', just as they are in other modes.
-

-File: xemacs.info, Node: Mark and Region, Next: General Calendar, Prev: Scroll Calendar, Up: Calendar/Diary
-
-The Mark and the Region
------------------------
-
- The concept of the mark applies to the calendar just as to any other
-buffer, but it marks a _date_, not a _position_ in the buffer. The
-region consists of the days between the mark and point (including the
-starting and stopping dates).
-
-`C-SPC'
- Set the mark to today's date (`calendar-set-mark').
-
-`C-@'
- The same.
-
-`C-x C-x'
- Interchange mark and point (`calendar-exchange-point-and-mark').
-
-`M-='
- Display the number of days in the current region
- (`calendar-count-days-region').
-
- You set the mark in the calendar, as in any other buffer, by using
-`C-@' or `C-SPC' (`calendar-set-mark'). You return to the marked date
-with the command `C-x C-x' (`calendar-exchange-point-and-mark') which
-puts the mark where point was and point where mark was. The calendar
-is scrolled as necessary, if the marked date was not visible on the
-screen. This does not change the extent of the region.
-
- To determine the number of days in the region, type `M-='
-(`calendar-count-days-region'). The numbers of days printed is
-_inclusive_; that is, it includes the days specified by mark and point.
-
- The main use of the mark in the calendar is to remember dates that
-you may want to go back to. To make this feature more useful, the mark
-ring (*note Mark Ring::) operates exactly as in other buffers: Emacs
-remembers 16 previous locations of the mark. To return to a marked
-date, type `C-u C-SPC' (or `C-u C-@'); this is the command
-`calendar-set-mark' given a numeric argument. It moves point to where
-the mark was, restores the mark from the ring of former marks, and
-stores the previous point at the end of the mark ring. So, repeated
-use of this command moves point through all the old marks on the ring,
-one by one.

-Miscellaneous Calendar Commands
--------------------------------
-
-`p d'
- Display day-in-year (`calendar-print-day-of-year').
-
-`?'
- Briefly describe calendar commands (`describe-calendar-mode').
-
-`C-c C-l'
- Regenerate the calendar window (`redraw-calendar').
-
-`SPC'
- Scroll the next window (`scroll-other-window').
-
-`q'
- Exit from calendar (`exit-calendar').
-
- If you want to know how many days have elapsed since the start of
-the year, or the number of days remaining in the year, type the `p d'
-command (`calendar-print-day-of-year'). This displays both of those
-numbers in the echo area.
-
- To display a brief description of the calendar commands, type `?'
-(`describe-calendar-mode'). For a fuller description, type `C-h m'.
-
- You can use `SPC' (`scroll-other-window') to scroll the other
-window. This is handy when you display a list of holidays or diary
-entries in another window.
-
- If the calendar window text gets corrupted, type `C-c C-l'
-(`redraw-calendar') to redraw it. (This can only happen if you use
-non-Calendar-mode editing commands.)
-
- In Calendar mode, you can use `SPC' (`scroll-other-window') to
-scroll the other window. This is handy when you display a list of
-holidays or diary entries in another window.
-
- To exit from the calendar, type `q' (`exit-calendar'). This buries
-all buffers related to the calendar, selecting other buffers. (If a
-frame contains a dedicated calendar window, exiting from the calendar
-iconifies that frame.)

-LaTeX Calendar
-==============
-
- The Calendar LaTeX commands produce a buffer of LaTeX code that
-prints as a calendar. Depending on the command you use, the printed
-calendar covers the day, week, month or year that point is in.
-
-`t m'
- Generate a one-month calendar (`cal-tex-cursor-month').
-
-`t M'
- Generate a sideways-printing one-month calendar
- (`cal-tex-cursor-month-landscape').
-
-`t d'
- Generate a one-day calendar (`cal-tex-cursor-day').
-
-`t w 1'
- Generate a one-page calendar for one week (`cal-tex-cursor-week').
-
-`t w 2'
- Generate a two-page calendar for one week (`cal-tex-cursor-week2').
-
-`t w 3'
- Generate an ISO-style calendar for one week
- (`cal-tex-cursor-week-iso').
-
-`t w 4'
- Generate a calendar for one Monday-starting week
- (`cal-tex-cursor-week-monday').
-
-`t f w'
- Generate a Filofax-style two-weeks-at-a-glance calendar
- (`cal-tex-cursor-filofax-2week').
-
-`t f W'
- Generate a Filofax-style one-week-at-a-glance calendar
- (`cal-tex-cursor-filofax-week').
-
-`t y'
- Generate a calendar for one year (`cal-tex-cursor-year').
-
-`t Y'
- Generate a sideways-printing calendar for one year
- (`cal-tex-cursor-year-landscape').
-
-`t f y'
- Generate a Filofax-style calendar for one year
- (`cal-tex-cursor-filofax-year').
-
- Some of these commands print the calendar sideways (in "landscape
-mode"), so it can be wider than it is long. Some of them use Filofax
-paper size (3.75in x 6.75in). All of these commands accept a prefix
-argument which specifies how many days, weeks, months or years to print
-(starting always with the selected one).
-
- If the variable `cal-tex-holidays' is non-`nil' (the default), then
-the printed calendars show the holidays in `calendar-holidays'. If the
-variable `cal-tex-diary' is non-`nil' (the default is `nil'), diary
-entries are included also (in weekly and monthly calendars only).

-
-Holidays
---------
-
- The Emacs calendar knows about all major and many minor holidays,
-and can display them.
-
-`h'
- Display holidays for the selected date
- (`calendar-cursor-holidays').
-
-`Button2 Holidays'
- Display any holidays for the date you click on.
-
-`x'
- Mark holidays in the calendar window (`mark-calendar-holidays').
-
-`u'
- Unmark calendar window (`calendar-unmark').
-
-`a'
- List all holidays for the displayed three months in another window
- (`list-calendar-holidays').
-
-`M-x holidays'
- List all holidays for three months around today's date in another
- window.
-
-`M-x list-holidays'
- List holidays in another window for a specified range of years.
-
- To see if any holidays fall on a given date, position point on that
-date in the calendar window and use the `h' command. Alternatively,
-click on that date with `Button2' and then choose `Holidays' from the
-menu that appears. Either way, this displays the holidays for that
-date, in the echo area if they fit there, otherwise in a separate
-window.
-
- To view the distribution of holidays for all the dates shown in the
-calendar, use the `x' command. This displays the dates that are
-holidays in a different face (or places a `*' after these dates, if
-display with multiple faces is not available). The command applies both
-to the currently visible months and to other months that subsequently
-become visible by scrolling. To turn marking off and erase the current
-marks, type `u', which also erases any diary marks (*note Diary::).
-
- To get even more detailed information, use the `a' command, which
-displays a separate buffer containing a list of all holidays in the
-current three-month range. You can use <SPC> in the calendar window to
-scroll that list.
-
- The command `M-x holidays' displays the list of holidays for the
-current month and the preceding and succeeding months; this works even
-if you don't have a calendar window. If you want the list of holidays
-centered around a different month, use `C-u M-x holidays', which
-prompts for the month and year.
-
- The holidays known to Emacs include United States holidays and the
-major Christian, Jewish, and Islamic holidays; also the solstices and
-equinoxes.
-
- The command `M-x list-holidays' displays the list of holidays for a
-range of years. This function asks you for the starting and stopping
-years, and allows you to choose all the holidays or one of several
-categories of holidays. You can use this command even if you don't have
-a calendar window.
-
- The dates used by Emacs for holidays are based on _current
-practice_, not historical fact. Historically, for instance, the start
-of daylight savings time and even its existence have varied from year to
-year, but present United States law mandates that daylight savings time
-begins on the first Sunday in April. When the daylight savings rules
-are set up for the United States, Emacs always uses the present
-definition, even though it is wrong for some prior years.
