Version 3 of Emacs

Purpose: to discuss the EMACS editing environment.

An Oustervote in 2001 concluded that emacs [L1 ] remains the single most widely-used programming editor among Tcl practitioners, although all vi variants together appear to sum to a larger total.

Quite a bit of available elisp implements functionality useful to Tcl coders, including syntax highlighting, ...

Just drop elisp specific items into the elisp page, mentioned above.

Ok, I'm not really in tune with wiki writing style, so I'll just dump stuff here (davidw):

The biggest problem is a good tcl-mode for emacs. Both gnumacs and xemacs have some problems with comments, braces, and so on. Any suggestions?
Here is one little bitty bit of elisp. It looks up tcl man pages:

 (defun tclman ()
  "Get 3tcl man page"
  (interactive)
  (let* ((default-entry (Man-default-man-entry))
         (input (read-string
                 (format "3tcl Manual entry%s: "
                         (if (string= default-entry "")
                             ""
                           (format " (default %s)" default-entry))))))
    (if (string= input "")
        (Man-getpage-in-background (concat "-S 3tcl " default-entry))
      (Man-getpage-in-background (concat "-S 3tcl " input)))))
