You can write new code in Emacs Lisp and +install it as an extension to the editor. However, Emacs Lisp is more +than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming +language in its own right. You can use it as you would any other +programming language. + + Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special +features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling +files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on. Emacs Lisp is +closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands +are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs, +and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables. + + This manual describes Emacs Lisp. Generally speaking, the earlier +chapters describe features of Emacs Lisp that have counterparts in +many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that +are peculiar to Emacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing. +@end quotation + +@hfil +@bye |
