It knows ;; about various nroff constructs, ms, mm, and me macros, and will fill ;; and indent paragraphs properly in their presence. It also includes ;; a command to count text lines (excluding nroff constructs), a command ;; to center a line, and movement commands that know how to skip macros. ;; Paragraph filling and line-counting currently don't respect comments, ;; as they should. ;;; Code: (defgroup nroff nil "Nroff mode." :link '(custom-group-link :tag "Font Lock Faces group" font-lock-faces) :group 'text :prefix "nroff-") (defcustom nroff-electric-mode nil "Non-nil means automatically closing requests when you insert an open." :type 'boolean) (defvar nroff-mode-map (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)) (menu-map (make-sparse-keymap))) (define-key map "\t" 'tab-to-tab-stop) (define-key map "\e?"
