;;; Commentary:

;;   "ROT13 ('rotate by 13 places') is a simple letter substitution
;;   cipher that replaces a letter with the 13th letter after it in
;;   the alphabet.  ROT13 is a special case of the Caesar cipher
;;   which was developed in ancient Rome.
;;
;;   Because there are 26 letters (2×13) in the basic Latin
;;   alphabet, ROT13 is its own inverse; that is, to undo ROT13, the
;;   same algorithm is applied, so the same action can be used for
;;   encoding and decoding.  The algorithm provides virtually no
;;   cryptographic security, and is often cited as a canonical
;;   example of weak encryption.
;;
;;   ROT13 is used in online forums as a means of hiding spoilers,
;;   punchlines, puzzle solutions, and offensive materials from the
;;   casual glance."                      - Wikipedia article on ROT13
;;
;; The entry points, `rot13', `rot13-string', and `rot13-region' performs ROT13
;; encoding/decoding on buffers and strings.  The entry point
;; `rot13-other-window' performs a ROT13 encoding/decoding on the current
;; buffer and displays the result in another window.

;;; Code:

(defvar rot13-display-table
  (let ((table (make-display-table))
	(i 0))
    (while (< i 26)
      (aset table (+ i ?a) (vector (+ (% (+ i 13) 26) ?a)))
      (aset table (+ i ?A) (vector (+ (% (+ i 13) 26) ?A)))
      (setq i (1+ i)))
    table)
  "Char table for ROT13 display.")

(defvar rot13-translate-table
  (let ((str (make-string 127 0))
	(i 0))
    (while (< i 127)
      (aset str i i)
      (setq i (1+ i)))
    (setq i 0)
    (while (< i 26)
      (aset str (+ i ?a) (+ (% (+ i 13) 26) ?a))
      (aset str (+ i ?A) (+ (% (+ i 13) 26) ?A))
      (setq i (1+ i)))
    str)
