Emacs

Notes on using emacs for deal.II

Introduction

Emacs used to be the tool most of the deal.II developers worked with day in and day out. However, this has more to do with the fact that these people started to use computers in the late 1980s and early 1990s when emacs was a state-of-the-art editor. This is no longer the case, and so we have moved on. The purpose of this site is simply to present the set of emacs macros that have been used to format most of the deal.II source code.

If you want to use this style and you still happen to use emacs then the following emacs elisp macros are for you:

(defun deal-indentation ()
"Install the indentation offsets used in the deal.II source code.
All contributions to the library should follow this indentation in
order to maintain a common look and feel as well as avoiding
unnecessary diffs in the archives.

The function is intended as a part of the cc-mode-startup-fun hook."
