Re: [PLUG] Writing Emacs Modes
|
Use my preferred (lazy programmer) software development technique:
find code for another mode that sorta kinda does what you want and
hack it. I call it programming by plagiarism and I am proud to be a
practitioner!
Caveat: read the license for what you use and follow it. I'm not
recommending that you rip off something whose ripping off is not
permissible.
