coding systems currently selected for various purposes, both in the
current buffer and as the defaults, and the priority list for

To display a list of all the supported coding systems, type `M-x
list-coding-systems'. The list gives information about each coding
system, including the letter that stands for it in the mode line (*note

+Mode Line::).
Each of the coding systems that appear in this list--except for
`binary', which means no conversion of any kind--specifies how and
contents assuming that they are represented in this coding system.
The priority list of coding systems depends on the selected language
-environment (*note Language Environments::.). For example, if you use
+environment (*note Language Environments::). For example, if you use
French, you probably want XEmacs to prefer Latin-1 to Latin-2; if you
use Czech, you probably want Latin-2 to be preferred. This is one of
the reasons to specify a language environment.
You can specify the coding system for a particular file using the
`-*-...-*-' construct at the beginning of a file, or a local variables
-list at the end (*note File Variables::.). You do this by defining a
+list at the end (*note File Variables::). You do this by defining a
value for the "variable" named `coding'. XEmacs does not really have a
variable `coding'; instead of setting a variable, it uses the specified
coding system for the file. For example, `-*-mode: C; coding:
file. This includes the commands `save-buffer' and `write-region'. If
you want to write files from this buffer using a different coding
system, you can specify a different coding system for the buffer using
-`set-buffer-file-coding-system' (*note Specify Coding::.).

to read a coding system name. After you exit the minibuffer, the

So if the immediately following command is `C-x C-f', for example,

Most programming language major modes specify that only blank lines
separate paragraphs. This is so that the paragraph commands remain

enter Text mode. In Text mode, <TAB> runs the function
`tab-to-tab-stop', which allows you to use arbitrary tab stops set with
-`M-x edit-tab-stops' (*note Tab Stops::.). Features concerned with
+`M-x edit-tab-stops' (*note Tab Stops::). Features concerned with
comments in programs are turned off unless they are explicitly invoked.
The syntax table is changed so that periods are not considered part of a
word, while apostrophes, backspaces and underlines are.
A similar variant mode is Indented Text mode, intended for editing
text in which most lines are indented. This mode defines <TAB> to run
-`indent-relative' (*note Indentation::.), and makes Auto Fill indent
-the lines it creates. As a result, a line made by Auto Filling, or by
+`indent-relative' (*note Indentation::), and makes Auto Fill indent the
+lines it creates. As a result, a line made by Auto Filling, or by
<LFD>, is normally indented just like the previous line. Use `M-x
indented-text-mode' to select this mode.
The other feature of Nroff mode is Electric Nroff newline mode.

you use <RET> to end a line containing an nroff command that opens a
kind of grouping, Emacs automatically inserts the matching nroff
command to close that grouping on the following line. For example, if

Scanning continues until the whole buffer has been checked or until you
type another key. The positions of the last several paragraphs with

Note that square brackets and parentheses, not just braces, are
matched in TeX mode. This is wrong if you want to check TeX syntax.
The console output from TeX, including any error messages, appears
in a buffer called `*TeX-shell*'. If TeX gets an error, you can switch
to this buffer and feed it input (this works as in Shell mode; *note
