;;; Commentary:

;; This is a branch of William Schelter's maxima-mode.el
;;
;; Quick intro
;;
;; To install, put this file (as well as maxima-font-lock.el)
;; somewhere in your emacs load path.
;; To make sure that `maxima.el' is loaded when necessary, whether to
;; edit a file in maxima mode or interact with Maxima in an Emacs buffer,
;; put the lines
;;  (autoload 'maxima-mode "maxima" "Maxima mode" t)
;;  (autoload 'maxima "maxima" "Maxima interaction" t)
;; in your `.emacs' file.  If you want any file ending in `.mac' to begin
;; in `maxima-mode', for example, put the line
;;  (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.mac" . maxima-mode) auto-mode-alist))
;; to your `.emacs' file.
;;
;; In any of the Maxima modes, to get help on a prompted for Maxima topic,
;; use
;; C-c C-d h
;; or
;; f12.
;; To get help with the symbol under point, use ("d" for describe): 
;; C-c C-d d
;; or
;; C-c C-d C-d
;; For apropos help, use:
;; C-c C-d a
;; or
;; C-c C-d C-a
;; To get apropos with the symbol under point, use:
;; C-c C-d p
;; C-c C-d C-p
;; or M-f12.
;; To read the Maxima info manual, use:
;; C-c C-d m
;; C-c C-d C-m
;; C-c C-d i
;; or
;; C-c C-d C-i
;; (For Maxima minor mode, replace C-cC-d by C-c=d.)

;; ** Maxima mode **
;; To put the current buffer into maxima-mode, type M-x maxima-mode

;; Maxima mode provides the following motion commands:
;; M-C-a: Move to the beginning of the form.
;; M-C-e: Move to the end of the form.
;; M-C-b: Move to the beginning of the list.
;; M-C-f: Move to the end of the list.

;; and the following miscellaneous commands.
;; M-h: Mark the current form
;; C-c): Check the current region for balanced parentheses.
;; C-cC-): Check the current form for balanced parentheses.

;; Maxima mode has the following completions command:
;; M-TAB: Complete the Maxima symbol as much as possible, providing
;;      a completion buffer if there is more than one possible completion.

;; Portions of the buffer can be sent to a Maxima process.  (If a process is 
;; not running, one will be started.)
;; C-cC-r: Send the region to Maxima.
;; C-cC-b: Send the buffer to Maxima.
;; C-cC-c: Send the line to Maxima.
;; C-cC-e: Send the form to Maxima.
;; C-RET: Send the smallest set of lines which contains
;;        the cursor and contains no incomplete forms, and go to the next form.
;; M-RET:  As above, but with the region instead of the current line.
;; C-cC-l: Prompt for a file name to load into Maxima.
;;
;; When something is sent to Maxima, a buffer running an inferior Maxima 
;; process will appear.  It can also be made to appear by using the command
;; C-c C-p.
;; When a command is given to send information to Maxima, the region
;; (buffer, line, form) is first checked to make sure the parentheses
;; are balanced.  With an argument, they will not be checked first.
;; The Maxima process can be killed, after asking for confirmation 
;; with C-cC-k.  To kill without confirmation, give C-cC-k
;; an argument.

;; By default, indentation will be to the same level as the 
;; previous line, with an additional space added for open parentheses.
;; The behaviour of indent can be changed by the command 
;; M-x maxima-change-indent-style.  The possibilities are:
;; Standard:      Simply indent
;; Perhaps smart: Tries to guess an appropriate indentation, based on
;;                open parentheses, "do" loops, etc.
;; The default can be set by setting the value of the variable 
;; "maxima-indent-style" to either 'standard or 'perhaps-smart.
;; In both cases, M-x maxima-untab will remove a level of indentation.

;; ** Maxima noweb mode **
;; maxima-noweb-mode is a modification of maxima-mode that will work
;; nicely with noweb-mode; namely, it will limit any relevant searches 
;; to the current chunk and treat <<...>> as word parts.

;; ** Running Maxima interactively **
;; To run Maxima interactively in a buffer, type M-x maxima
;; In the Maxima process buffer,
;; return will check the line for balanced parentheses, and send line as input.
;; Control return will send the line as input without checking for balanced
;; parentheses.

;; <M-tab> will complete the Maxima symbol as much as possible, providing
;;      a completion buffer if there is more than one possible completion.

;; <C-M-tab> will complete the input line, based on previous input lines.
;; C-c C-d will get help on a Maxima topic.
;; C-c C-m will bring up the Maxima info manual.
;; C-cC-k will kill the process and the buffer, after asking for
;;   confirmation.  To kill without confirmation, give C-M-k an
;;   argument.

;; To scroll through previous commands,
;; M-p will bring the previous input to the current prompt,
;; M-n will bring the next input to the prompt.
;; M-r will bring the previous input matching
;;   a regular expression to the prompt,
;; M-s will bring the next input matching
;;   a regular expression to the prompt.

;; ** Running Maxima from the minibuffer **
;; The command M-x maxima-minibuffer
;; will allow you to interact with Maxima from the minibuffer.  
;; The arrows will allow you to scroll through previous inputs.
;; The line
;;  (autoload 'maxima-minibuffer "maxima" "Maxima in a minibuffer" t)
;; in your .emacs will make sure the function is available.
;; If the variable maxima-minibuffer-2d is non-nil, then the output
;; will be in Maxima's 2d output form, otherwise it will be in 
;; Maxima's 1d output form.  (For XEmacs, only the 1d form is available,
;; since the minibuffer isn't resizable.)
;; The command maxima-insert-last-output will insert
;; the last maxima output into the current buffer; if the output is in 2d, 
;; this will look unpleasant.  The command  maxima-insert-last-output-tex
;; will insert the TeX form of the output.

;; ** Reading Maxima results in the minibuffer **
;; The command `maxima-minibuffer-on-determined-region' 
;;   will send the part of the current buffer containing the point and between 
;;   the regexps `maxima-minor-prefix' and `maxima-minor-postfix' (currently
;;   both blank lines) to the Maxima process and insert the result in the
;;   minibuffer.  With an argument, `maxima-minibuffer-in-determined-region'
;;   will also insert the output into the current buffer, after " ==> "
;;   and before "//".  (The symbol ` ==> ' is the value of the customizable 
;;   variable `maxima-minor-output' and "//" is the value of 
;;   `maxima-minor-output-end'.  The new output is inserted, these strings 
;;   will be used to delete the old output.
;;   Outside of comments in maxima-mode, the opening and closing indicators 
;;   are the values of `maxima-mode-minor-output' and 
;;   `maxima-mode-minor-output-end', which by default are " /*==>" and 
;;   " <==*/", respectively.
;; The commands `maxima-minibuffer-on-region', `maxima-minibuffer-on-line'
;; and `maxima-minibuffer-on-form' work similarly to 
;; `maxima-minibuffer-on-determined-region', but send the current region
;; (respectively, the current line, current form) to Maxima and display
;; the result in the minibuffer.
;; (The form is the region between the preceding ; or $ and the subsequent
;; ; or $)
;; Care must be taken when inserting the output into the current buffer
;; with `maxima-minibuffer-on-region' and `maxima-minibuffer-on-form'.
;; With `maxima-minibuffer-on-region', as with 
;; `maxima-minibuffer-on-determined-region' above, everything after any
;; "==>" in the region will be ignored.  
;; What will typically happen with `maxima-minibuffer-on-region' and
;; `maxima-minibuffer-on-form', however, is that new outputs will
;; be inserted without old output being deleted.

;; The commands for the Maxima-minibuffer interaction can be made
;; available by putting 
;;  (autoload 'maxima-minibuffer "maxima" "Interact with Maxima from the minibuffer" t)
;;  (autoload 'maxima-minibuffer-on-determined-region "maxima" 
;;            "Send a information to Maxima, display the results in the minibuffer" t)
;;  (autoload 'maxima-minibuffer-on-region "maxima" 
;;            "Send a information to Maxima, display the results in the minibuffer" t)
;;  (autoload 'maxima-minibuffer-on-line "maxima" 
;;            "Send a information to Maxima, display the results in the minibuffer" t)
;;  (autoload 'maxima-minibuffer-on-form "maxima" 
;;            "Send a information to Maxima, display the results in the minibuffer" t)
;; in your .emacs

;; ** Maxima minor mode **
;; maxima-minor-mode provides convenient keybindings for the various
;; interactions between Maxima and the minibuffer.
;; It can be made easily available by placing 
;;  (autoload 'maxima-minor-mode "maxima" "Maxima minor mode" t)
;; in your .emacs, then M-x maxima-minor-mode will start the minor mode.
;; (The autoloads for the individual function will not then be necessary.)
;; C-c=e
;;   `maxima-minibuffer-on-determined-region'
;; C-c=l
;;   `maxima-minibuffer-on-line'
;; C-c=r
;;   `maxima-minibuffer-on-region'
;; C-c=f
;;   `maxima-minibuffer-on-form'

;;;; Maxima mode

(defun maxima-mode ()
  "Major mode for editing Maxima code.

Maxima mode provides the following motion commands:
\\[maxima-goto-beginning-of-form-interactive]: Move to the beginning of the form.
\\[maxima-goto-end-of-form-interactive]: Move to the end of the form.
\\[maxima-goto-beginning-of-list-interactive]: Move to the beginning of the sexp.
\\[maxima-goto-end-of-list-interactive]: Move to the end of the sexp.

and the following miscellaneous commands.
\\[maxima-mark-form]: Mark the current form
\\[maxima-check-parens]: Check the current region for balanced parentheses.
\\[maxima-check-form-parens]: Check the current form for balanced parentheses.

Maxima mode has the following completions commands:
M-TAB: Complete the Maxima symbol as much as possible, providing
     a completion buffer if there is more than one possible completion.

Portions of the buffer can be sent to a Maxima process.  (If a process is 
not running, one will be started.)
\\[maxima-send-region]: Send the region to Maxima.
\\[maxima-send-buffer]: Send the buffer to Maxima.
\\[maxima-send-line]: Send the line to Maxima.
\\[maxima-send-form]: Send the form to Maxima.
\\[maxima-send-full-line-and-goto-next-form]: Send the smallest set of lines which contains
   the cursor and contains no incomplete forms, and go to the next form.
\\[maxima-send-completed-region-and-goto-next-form]:  As above, but with
   the region instead of the current line.
\\[maxima-load-file] will prompt for a filename and load it into Maxima
When something is sent to Maxima, a buffer running an inferior Maxima 
process will appear.  It can also be made to appear by using the command
\\[maxima-display-buffer].
If an argument is given to a command to send information to Maxima,
the region (buffer, line, form) will first be checked to make sure
the parentheses are balanced.
The Maxima process can be killed, after asking for confirmation 
with \\[maxima-stop].  To kill without confirmation, give \\[maxima-stop]
an argument.

By default, indentation will be to the same level as the 
previous line, with an additional space added for open parentheses.
The behaviour of indent can be changed by the command 
\\[maxima-change-indent-style].  The possibilities are:
Standard:      Standard indentation.
Perhaps smart: Tries to guess an appropriate indentation, based on
               open parentheses, \"do\" loops, etc.
The default can be set by setting the value of the variable 
\"maxima-indent-style\" to either 'standard or 'perhaps-smart.
In both cases, \\[maxima-untab] will remove a level of indentation.

To get help on a Maxima topic, use:
\\[maxima-help].
To read the Maxima info manual, use:
\\[maxima-info].
To get help with the symbol under point, use:
\\[maxima-completion-help].
To get apropos with the symbol under point, use:
\\[maxima-apropos-help].
