;;;; Introduction:

;; For comments held within boxes, it is painful to fill paragraphs, while
;; stretching or shrinking the surrounding box "by hand", as needed.  This
;; piece of GNU Emacs LISP code eases my life on this.  I find only fair,
;; while giving all sources for a package using such boxed comments, to also
;; give the means I use for nicely modifying comments.  So here they are!

;;;; Installation:

;; For most Emacs language editing modes, refilling does not make sense
;; outside comments, one may redefine the `M-q' command and link it to this
;; file.  For example, I use this in my `.emacs' file:

;;	(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'fp-c-mode-routine)
;;      (defun fp-c-mode-routine ()
;;	  (local-set-key "\M-q" 'rebox-comment))
;;	(autoload 'rebox-comment "rebox" nil t)
;;	(autoload 'rebox-region "rebox" nil t)

;;;; Usage:

;; The function `rebox-comment' automatically discovers the extent of the
;; boxed comments near the cursor, possibly refills the text, then adjusts the
;; comment box style.  When this command is executed, the cursor should be
;; within a comment, or else it should be between two comments, in which case
;; the command applies to the next comment.  The function `rebox-region' does
;; the same, except that it takes the current region as a boxed comment.  Both
;; commands obey numeric prefixes to add or remove a box, force a particular
;; box style, or to prevent refilling of text.  Without such prefixes, the
;; commands may deduce the current comment box style from the comment itself
;; so the style is preserved.  An unboxed comment is merely one of box styles.

;; A style is identified by three non-zero digits.  The _convention_ about
;; style numbering is such the the hundreds digit roughly represents the
;; programming language, the tens digit roughly represents a box quality (or
;; weight) and the units digit roughly a box type (or figure).  Language,
;; quality and types are collectively referred to as style attributes.

;; When rebuilding a boxed comment, attributes are selected independently of
;; each other.  They may be specified by the digits of the value given as
;; Emacs commands argument prefix.  If there is no such prefix, or if the
;; corresponding digit is zero, the attribute is taken from the value of the
;; default style instead.  If the corresponding digit of the default style is
;; also zero, than the attribute is recognised and taken from the actual
;; comment box, as it existed before prior to the command.  The value 1, which
;; is the simplest attribute, is ultimately taken if the recognition fails.

;; The default style initial value is nil or 0.  It may be preset to another
;; value through setting `rebox-default-style' in Emacs LISP code, or changed
;; to anything else though using a negative value for a prefix, in which case
;; the default style is set to the absolute value of the prefix.

;; A `C-u' prefix avoids refilling the text, but forces using the default box
;; style.  `C-u -' lets the user interact to select one attribute at a time.

;;;; Convention:

;; A programming language is associated with comment delimiters.  Values are
;; 100 for none or unknown, 200 for `/*' and `*/' as in plain C, 300 for `//'
;; as in C++, 400 for `#' as in most scripting languages, 500 for `;' as in
;; LISP or assembler and 600 for `%' as in TeX or PostScript.

;; Box quality differs according to language. For unknown languages (100) or
;; for the C language (200), values are 10 for simple, 20 for rounded, and 30
;; or 40 for starred.  Simple quality boxes (10) use comment delimiters to
;; left and right of each comment line, and also for the top or bottom line
;; when applicable. Rounded quality boxes (20) try to suggest rounded corners
;; in boxes.  Starred quality boxes (40) mostly use a left margin of asterisks
;; or X'es, and use them also in box surroundings.  For all others languages,
;; box quality indicates the thickness in characters of the left and right
;; sides of the box: values are 10, 20, 30 or 40 for 1, 2, 3 or 4 characters
;; wide.  With C++, quality 10 is not useful, you should force 20 instead.

;; Box type values are 1 for fully opened boxes for which boxing is done
;; only for the left and right but not for top or bottom, 2 for half
;; single lined boxes for which boxing is done on all sides except top,
;; 3 for fully single lined boxes for which boxing is done on all sides,
;; 4 for half double lined boxes which is like type 2 but more bold,
;; or 5 for fully double lined boxes which is like type 3 but more bold.

;; The special style 221 is for C comments between a single opening `/*' and a
;; single closing `*/'.  The special style 111 deletes a box.

;;;; History:

;; I first observed rounded corners, as in style 223 boxes, in code from
;; Warren Tucker, a previous maintainer of the `shar' package.  Besides very
;; special files, I was carefully avoiding to use such boxes for real work,
;; as I found them much too hard to maintain.  My friend Paul Provost was
;; working at Taarna, a computer graphics place, which had boxes as part of
;; their coding standards.  He asked that we try something to get out of his
;; misery, and this how `rebox.el' was originally written.  I did not plan to
;; use it for myself, but Paul was so enthusiastic that I timidly started to
;; use boxes in my things, very little at first, but more and more as time
;; passed, yet not fully sure it was a good move.  Later, many friends
;; spontaneously started to use this tool for real, some being very serious
;; workers.  This finally convinced me that boxes are acceptable, after all.
