12.3 Scribe

Command: Scribe Buffer File (bound to C-x c in Scribe mode) ¶

Hemlock Variable: Scribe Buffer File Confirm (initial value t) ¶

Command: Scribe File ¶

Scribe Buffer File invokes Scribe Utility on the file associated with the current buffer. That process’s default directory is the directory of the file. The process sends its output to the Scribe Warnings buffer. Before doing anything, this asks the user to confirm saving and formatting the file. This prompting can be inhibited with "Scribe Buffer File Confirm".

Scribe File invokes Scribe Utility on a file supplied by the user in the same manner as describe above.

Hemlock Variable: Scribe Utility (initial value "/usr/misc/bin/scribe") ¶

Hemlock Variable: Scribe Utility Switches ¶

Scribe Utility is the program the Scribe commands use to compile the text formatting. Scribe Utility Switches is a list of strings whose contents would be contiguous characters, other than space, had the user invoked this program on a command line outside of Hemlock. Do not include the name of the file to compile in this variable; the Scribe commands supply this.

Command: Select Scribe Warnings (bound to Scribe: C-M-C) ¶

This command makes the Scribe Warnings buffer current if it exists.
