Greetings, A few days ago, a friend asked me to write him a pod only spell checker. I did so and sent it to him; he liked it and said I ought to send it to the cperl maintainers and see if they want it. When I read through cperl.el, I found xemacs(a)xemacs.org as the maintainer address, is this correct? The function I wrote is super simple and attached below. Have a nice day, -Trey (defun pod-spell () "A function to only check pod documentation" (interactive "*") (save-excursion (let ((element 0) (my-list (make-pod-list))) (while (< element (length my-list)) (setq the-first (car (nth element my-list))) (setq the-second (cadr (nth element my-list))) (ispell-region (car (nth element my-list)) (cadr (nth element my-list))) (setq element (1+ element)))))) (defun make-pod-list () "A function to make a list of syntactic elements which are pod/here documentation" (interactive) (goto-char (point-min)) (let ( (current 0) (pod-list '()) (last-state nil) (done nil) (line 0) (pod-start 0)) (while (not done) (setq the-state (get-text-property current 'in-pod)) (cond ((and (eq last-state nil) (eq the-state t)) ;; a new pod is starting (setq last-state the-state) (setq pod-start current)) ((and (eq last-state t) (eq the-state nil)) ;; the end of a pod (setq last-state the-state) (setq pod-list (cons (list pod-start current) pod-list))) ((eq current (point-max)) (setq done t))) (setq line (1+ line)) (goto-line line) (setq current (point))) ;; end of the while loop. (reverse pod-list))) ;; I reversed it just to make it prettier ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ashton Trey Belew Phone: 860 305 6040 e-mail: trey(a)veggie.wesleyan.edu http://veggie.wesleyan.edu/trey/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Jimbo.
