;;; custom.el --- User friendly customization support.
;; Copyright (C) 1995 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

;; Author: Per Abrahamsen <abraham@iesd.auc.dk>
;; Keywords: help
;; Version: 0.5

;;; Commentary:
;;
;; WARNING: This package is still under construction and not all of
;; the features below are implemented.
;;
;; This package provides a framework for adding user friendly
;; customization support to Emacs.  Having to do customization by
;; editing a text file in some arcane syntax is user hostile in the
;; extreme, and to most users emacs lisp definitely count as arcane.
;;
;; The intension is that authors of emacs lisp packages declare the
;; variables intended for user customization with `custom-declare'.
;; Custom can then automatically generate a customization buffer with
;; `custom-buffer-create' where the user can edit the package
;; variables in a simple and intuitive way, as well as a menu with
;; `custom-menu-create' where he can set the more commonly used
;; variables interactively.
;;
;; It is also possible to use custom for modifying the properties of
;; other objects than the package itself, by specifying extra optional
;; arguments to `custom-buffer-create'.
;;
;; Custom is inspired by OPEN LOOK property windows.

;;; Todo:  
;;
;; - Toggle documentation in three states `none', `one-line', `full'.
;; - Function to generate an XEmacs menu from a CUSTOM.
;; - Write TeXinfo documentation.
;; - Make it possible to hide sections by clicking at the level.
;; - Declare AUC TeX variables.
;; - Declare (ding) Gnus variables.
;; - Declare Emacs variables.
;; - Implement remaining types.
;; - XEmacs port.
;; - Allow `URL', `info', and internal hypertext buttons.
;; - Support meta-variables and goal directed customization.
;; - Make it easy to declare custom types independently.
;; - Make it possible to declare default value and type for a single
;;   variable, storing the data in a symbol property.
;; - Syntactic sugar for CUSTOM declarations.
;; - Use W3 for variable documenation.

You can customize the look of Emacs by deciding which faces should be
used when.  If you push one of the face buttons below, you will be
given a choice between a number of standard faces.  The name of the
selected face is shown right after the face button, and it is
displayed its own face so you can see how it looks.  If you know of
another standard face not listed and want to use it, you can select
`Other' and write the name in the editing field.

If none of the standard faces suits you, you can select `Customize' to
create your own face.  This will make six fields appear under the face
button.  The `Fg' and `Bg' fields are the foreground and background
colors for the face, respectively.  You should type the name of the
color in the field.  You can use any X11 color name.  A list of X11
color names may be available in the file `/usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt' on
your system.  The special color name `default' means that the face
will not change the color of the text.  The `Stipple' field is weird,
so just ignore it.  The three remaining fields are toggles, which will
make the text `bold', `italic', or `underline' respectively.  For some
fonts `bold' or `italic' will not make any visible change."))
