EmacsTips
(revision 5) (raw view)
_(back to ProgrammingTips)_ Emacs is more than an editor - it's a lifestyle. I spent years using vi but have fairly recently started to make the investment to join the cult. I prefer emacs to IDE's because I feel that the investment in time that I spend learning it will be more likely to pay off because emacs has been around for a long time and will continue to be around for a long time. Also, more of the smartest people I've worked with have used emacs than all other development environments combined. *C style* - p.322 =M-x c-set-style= <code>GNU|K&R|BSD|Stroustrup|Whitesmith|Ellemtel</code> Vovida code appears to use =Stroustrup=. *Tabs* - to replace tabs with spaces mark a region then =M-x untabify=. *Ant* - to use ant instead of make to compile programs inside emacs, you'll want to run ant with the =-emacs= flag which makes the output more plain but allows emacs to find error messages. The easy way to do this is to add =(custom-set-variables '(compile-command "ant -emacs"))= to your .emacs file. *Compiling* - =M-x compile=, then =C-x `= (i.e. back-tick) to go to the next error. *Java* - a good integrated development environment for Java is JDEE at http://jdee.sunsite.dk/. It's not that easy to install (it has lots of dependencies). *DOS* - If you have to edit DOS files (which is likely if you program for a living ;) then Emacs works very well indeed. You can use it to translate into DOS or Unix format : =C-x RET f unix RET= or =C-x RET f dos RET= (don't forget to save the file after you do). For more info see the [[http://www.gnu.org/manual/emacs/html_node/emacs_558.html][manual]]. *XSLT* - http://xslt-process.sourceforge.net/ -- Main.TobyCabot - 24 Dec 2001 - 11 Nov 2002<br>
