=== Markup Languages ===

* [[CSS]]
* [[HTML]]
* [[JSON]]
* [[Markdown]]
* [[SGML]]
* [[XML]]

=== Compiling ===

* [[ flymake ]]

=== Debugging ===

=== REPLs ===

Interactive command-line environments for Lisp. ('''R'''ead-'''E'''val-'''P'''rint-'''L'''oop)

* [[ Inferior Emacs Lisp Mode ]] (IELM), for interacting with Emacs' own internal Lisp
* [[mozrepl]], for interacting with an external web browser's internal JavaScript engine
* [[SLIME]], for interacting with an external Common Lisp or Clojure instance

=== [[ Version Control ]] ===

Emacs supports many [[Version Control]] systems out of the box and provides bindings and other shortcuts for a better workflow between Emacs and these systems.

Within Emacs, [[ ediff ]] provides sophisticated diff and merge functions. Both [[vc]] and [[dvc]] integrate well with ediff.

== Productivity ==
* [[ Org ]] Mode
* [[ calc ]]
* [[ calendar ]]
* [[ notification ]]
* [[ diary ]]
* Contacts: [[ bbdb ]]

== Communication ==

* [[ Blogging ]]
* [[ Chat ]]
* [[ Email ]]
* [[ Feed reading ]]
* [[ Microblogging ]]

== Web browsing and web development ==

* [[w3]]: a pure-Emacs-Lisp text-mode web browser.
* [[w3m-el]]: The text-mode w3m web browser hosted and enhanced within Emacs, with rudimentary inline image support but no JavaScript.
* Launching and interacting with an [[external browser]] from emacs
* Using [[emacs as a browser's external editor]], either when entering text on web pages or when viewing a web page's source document or both.

== Shells and terminal emulation ==

Within Emacs you can interact with various shells and other command-line/text-mode programs running as a sub-process within an Emacs terminal emulator:
* [[ ansi-term ]]
* [[ shell ]]
* [[ term ]]
* [[ multi-term ]]

[[ eshell ]] is a shell (not a terminal emulator, nor a process hosted in one) written in pure [[ Emacs Lisp ]]. It is very powerful, flexible and customizable, but poorly documented at time of writing.

Emacs itself is fully functional either in a terminal or a windowing system. Some keystrokes available under window systems may not work in a terminal and vice versa.

115.241.85.182: /* Issues */

I would like to structure the Main Page in boxes like here [http://www.webos-internals.org] the Featured Article/Project. Any objections?
And maybe [[User:Bozhidar]] should write some lines about the relation to the "old" EmacsWiki?--[[User:Kenda|Kenda]] 19:58, 24 March 2012 (EET)

== Markup Conventions==

=== Info link markup ===

Could/should we have some standard way of marking up links to Info sections? [[User:PhilHudson|PhilHudson]] 22:10, 24 March 2012 (EET)

:I've created the template [[Template:Manual]] as a start. I've used it a couple of times in [[Keyboard macros]], for reference. [[User:Damd|damd]] 19:59, 25 March 2012 (EEST)
:: I have introduced [[Template:Variable]], [[Template:Command]], [[Template:Function]] and also improved upon your template for [[Template:Manual]]. {{unsigned|101.63.150.116}}
:::I'm afraid your changes to the Manual template broke a few things, e.g. [[Unit testing]]. Could you take a look at that? [[User:Damd|damd]] 10:28, 26 March 2012 (EEST)

=== Wikipedia linking convention ===

Could/should we have a convention for formatting and placement of wikipedia links on pages? [[User:PhilHudson|PhilHudson]] 22:37, 24 March 2012 (EET)

=== EmacsWiki linking convention ===

Similar question to Wikipedia wrt EmacsWiki [[User:PhilHudson|PhilHudson]] 23:06, 24 March 2012 (EET)

=== Key sequences ===

Should we have a convention for marking up key sequences? I already see `C-x a` and <code>C-x a</code>
[[User:GregLucas|GregLucas]] 17:13, 25 March 2012 (EEST)

:+1 for any convention, I favor the latter over the former (but I'm using the former since that matches the first samples I encountered). [[User:PhilHudson|PhilHudson]] 17:23, 25 March 2012 (EEST)

:I think <code>C-x a</code> is better because it adds semantics to the text which web browsers understand. It's basically more accessible than `C-x a`. I'd like it if we could make a plugin for MediaWiki which allows us to use `C-x a` or `C-x a', with an apostrophe at the end, to ''become'' <code>C-x a</code>, since they're both pretty common notations. I think `this' notation is especially common in Emacs. [[User:Damd|damd]] 20:02, 25 March 2012 (EEST)

== Describing Modes and Packages ==

=== Naming Conventions ===

I'd like to suggest *not* suffixing (links to) modes with "-mode". Thus: "org" not "org-mode". For consistency I've been adding links titled "org-mode" until now, since that one was already created when I started. [[User:PhilHudson|PhilHudson]] 22:09, 24 March 2012 (EET)

:Agreed, let's use the "friendly" name of a package. I'd say "Org", "Gnus", "YASnippet", etc. [[User:GregLucas|GregLucas]]

:I actually disagree. E.g. [[Java]] could be a page describing the different Java capabilities of Emacs, with links to the different JavaScript modes. This is especially true for [[JavaScript]], where the [[js-mode]] shipped with the latest Emacs is completely different from the other widely used [[js2-mode]] by Yegge. [[User:Damd|Damd]] 18:20, 25 March 2012 (EEST)

::Hm, good point about disambiguation... I still like the idea of using "titles" vs "commands", though. E.g. a [[Java]] page describing the built-in support (Java Mode) and then linking to articles on related packages (JDEE, etc) and why you might consider them instead. [[User:GregLucas|GregLucas]] 19:32, 25 March 2012 (EEST)

:::How would we handle e.g. [[Haskell]]? Emacs doesn't ship with any Haskell mode as far as I know... [[User:Damd|damd]] 19:58, 25 March 2012 (EEST)

=== Built-ins vs Add-ons ===

An article on a mode/package should indicate whether it is part of the Emacs distribution. When there is a list of packages, maybe we group the built-in ones first and then the add-ons?
[[User:GregLucas|GregLucas]] 00:53, 25 March 2012 (EET)

Good idea. [[User:PhilHudson|PhilHudson]] 17:25, 25 March 2012 (EEST)

== Template for mode-with-github-source pages? ==

Can Wikimedia do page templates? I'm sure the answer is yes. [[User:PhilHudson|PhilHudson]] 23:07, 24 March 2012 (EET)

== Issues ==
* The "Editing Help" link goes to a virgin page, not the full help page.
* Add [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Footnotes Mediawiki Cite extension] to enable footnotes.
* Add [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category#Visualizing_category_tree Category Tree extension] to explore various categories like [[:Category:Programming languages]].

== Syntax highlighting ==

Could we install a MediaWiki plugin which lets us do proper syntax highlighting of different languages? [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi SyntaxHighlight GeSHi] looks like a good alternative. [[User:Damd|damd]] 20:07, 25 March 2012 (EEST)

* [[Markdown]]
* [[SGML]]
* [[XML]]

=== Compiling ===

* [[ flymake ]]

=== Debugging ===

=== REPLs ===

Interactive command-line environments for Lisp. ('''R'''ead-'''E'''val-'''P'''rint-'''L'''oop)

* [[ Inferior Emacs Lisp Mode ]] (IELM), for interacting with Emacs' own internal Lisp
* [[mozrepl]], for interacting with an external web browser's internal JavaScript engine
* [[SLIME]], for interacting with an external Common Lisp or Clojure instance

=== [[ Version Control ]] ===

Emacs supports many [[Version Control]] systems out of the box and provides bindings and other shortcuts for a better workflow between Emacs and these systems.

Within Emacs, [[ ediff ]] provides sophisticated diff and merge functions. Both [[vc]] and [[dvc]] integrate well with ediff.

== Productivity ==
* [[ Org ]] Mode
* [[ calc ]]

* [[ Feed reading ]]
* [[ Microblogging ]]
* [[ Usenet news ]]

== Web browsing and web development ==

* [[w3]]: a pure-Emacs-Lisp text-mode web browser.
* [[w3m-el]]: The text-mode w3m web browser hosted and enhanced within Emacs, with rudimentary inline image support but no JavaScript.
* Launching and interacting with an [[external browser]] from emacs
* Using [[emacs as a browser's external editor]], either when entering text on web pages or when viewing a web page's source document or both.

== Shells and terminal emulation ==

Within Emacs you can interact with various shells and other command-line/text-mode programs running as a sub-process within an Emacs terminal emulator:
* [[ ansi-term ]]
* [[ shell ]]
* [[ term ]]
* [[ multi-term ]]

[[ eshell ]] is a shell (not a terminal emulator, nor a process hosted in one) written in pure [[ Emacs Lisp ]]. It is very powerful, flexible and customizable, but poorly documented at time of writing.

Emacs itself is fully functional either in a terminal or a windowing system. Some keystrokes available under window systems may not work in a terminal and vice versa.
