GNU Emacs is the most popular and widespread of the Emacs family of
editors. It is also the most powerful and flexible. Unlike all
other text editors, GNU Emacs is a complete working
environment--you can stay within Emacs all day without leaving.
"Learning GNU Emacs," 3rd Edition tells readers how to get started
with the GNU Emacs editor. It is a thorough guide that will also
"grow" with you: as you become more proficient, this book will help
you learn how to use Emacs more effectively. It takes you from
basic Emacs usage (simple text editing) to moderately complicated
customization and programming.
The third edition of "Learning GNU Emacs" describes Emacs 21.3
from the ground up, including new user interface features such as
an icon-based toolbar and an interactive interface to Emacs
customization. A new chapter details how to install and run Emacs
on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux, including tips for using Emacs
effectively on those platforms.
"Learning GNU Emacs," third edition, covers:
How to edit files with Emacs
Using the operating system shell through Emacs
How to use multiple buffers, windows, and frames
Customizing Emacs interactively and through startup files
Writing macros to circumvent repetitious tasks
Emacs as a programming environment for Java, C++, and Perl,
among others
Using Emacs as an integrated development environment (IDE)
Integrating Emacs with CVS, Subversion and other change control
systems for projects with multiple developers
Writing HTML, XHTML, and XML with Emacs
The basics of Emacs Lisp
The book is aimed at new Emacs users, whether or not they are
programmers. Also useful for readers switching from other
Emacsimplementations to GNU Emacs.
