Reading a very good emacs blog
I found the guy has a book, $5 US
http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/buy_xah_emacs_tutorial.htmlThe blog is good, I'm finding the tutorial really handy
Quick lesson in macros. Docbook indexing.
Highlight the term, M-x pi
with or without s (for secondary term)
Enjoy.
(defun pi (class start end)
"Markup for docbook index, optional secondary term"
(interactive "sEnter s for secondary : \nr")
(let* (
(idxterm (buffer-substring start end)) ; the indexed term
(termlen (length idxterm)) ; len of above
(pms (concat "<indexterm><primary>" idxterm "</primary>"))
(sms "<secondary>")
(sme "</secondary>")
(pme "</indexterm>")
(pml (length pms)) ;; primary length
(sml (length sms)) ;; secondary length
) ;; end of local vars
(goto-char (- end termlen ))(insert pme )
(goto-char start)(insert pms)
(when (equal "s" class) ;; if secondary wanted
(insert (concat sms sme )))
(setq newpoint
(if (equal "s" class)
(+ (length pms) (length sms)) ;; insert point for secondary
(+ (length pms) (length pme))
))
(goto-char (+ (region-beginning) newpoint))
))
