[edit] Scoping
This is much too fine an article in order for me to edit it myself. Please allow a tiny question though. When talking about lexiacal and dynamic scoping you mix this term with binding. My idea would be to use scoping consistently. What do you think about it? Real nice work though. Cheers --Robert_Dober 19:46 Oct 14, 2002 (UTC)
- That's a very good, unobjectionable suggestion. I made the change in this article, but you should go ahead and edit other articles as you see fit. (See Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages). --CYD
[edit] ELisp coding details
May I ask somebody to write something about the data structures and the building blocks already present in Emacs.
AFAIK there is a dictionary of key-bindings which maps keystrokes to function calls. How do I found out about the current line, the selection, the buffers? Some kind of coding patter description would be nice. --Hirzel 16:08 25 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- This article is hardly the time and the place for teaching Emacs Lisp in practice. You will find that Emacs in fact comes with very nice on-line Info documentation, which covers this topic quite nicely (as far as I was able to understand your question ...)-- era (Talk | History) 12:29, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] About the links
There are several links to the Emacs editor. Not a programming language. I suggest to consider removing links not to the ELisp language?
- Elisp is notable solely for its use in Emacs, I thought. --maru (talk) contribs 16:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] History of Emacs Lisp
Hello. I wonder if someone can add something about the history of Emacs Lisp. When was it originated, by whom, who have the major contributors been, from where did they get their inspiration, etc. I'd add it myself but I don't know anything about it. Cheers. 207.174.201.18 21:38, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- Gwern's edit on 2006-09-27 was apparently contributed in response to this request.-- era (Talk | History) 12:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
