<description>

Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting, modeless

editor. It is used primarely to edit text, including text

documents, source code of programs, web pages and XML documents,

but can also be used to display and edit binary files.

Emacs allows efficient editing of text with shortcuts which

allow operating on letters, words, sentences, and paragraphs as

single units. This includes both moving around and operations

like copying, deleting, transposing, and pasting. Macros can be

conveniently defined to repeat sequences of commands. In

addition, Emacs is (partially) built in a scripting language

(elisp) which can also be used to define further functions

extending existing capabilities.

Emacs has extensive support for editing source code, including

programmable syntax highlighting, automatic indentation, source

code indexing, overview modes, and navigation based on language

specific units like functions and blocks. It is also possible to

invoke the compiler from within Emacs and easily move between

compiler output and corresponding positions in the source.

Emacs has multiple modules which provide further functionality.

This provides the capability to read mail, news, browse

pictures, read man and info pages, browse the web, execute

arbitrary programs, and more, without leaving the editor.
