| Abstract |
GNU Emacs is an extensible, customizable text editor—and more. The features of GNU Emacs include:
* Content-sensitive editing modes, including syntax coloring, for a wide variety of file types including plain text, source code, and HTML.
* Complete built-in documentation, including a tutorial for new users.
* Support for many languages and their scripts, including all the European “Latin” scripts, Russian, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Lao, Ethiopian, and some Indian scripts.
* A large number of extensions that add other functionality, including a project planner, mail and news reader, debugger interface, calendar, and more. Many of these extensions are distributed with GNU Emacs; others are available separately. |
