jed-extra
=========

Contents
--------

This package contains extensions for the Jed programmer's editor , mainly
from the `Jedmodes`_ repository at SourceForge.

See contents.txt for a listing of contained modes with abstracts. The
`Jedmodes`_ web site has more detailed information and also a 
`mail list`_.

The Jedmodes repository is a heterogeneous collection of user provided
S-Lang scripts (modes). Some of the modes work stable for their authors for
ages while others are still experimental, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

.. _Jedmodes: http://jedmodes.sourceforge.net/
.. _`mail list`: mailto:jedmodes-users@lists.sourceforge.net


Setup
-----

Basic setup is done in ``/etc/jed.d/50jed-extra.sl``, adapt this file to the
needs of your site (the comments in this file provide further details) or
use one of the alternatives in the ``examples`` sub directory.

As the Jedmodes repository contains a mix of modes from different authors,
(sometimes providing similar functionality by different means or with
different look-and-feel), a complete automatic setup is not possible.

In order to make full use of the modes, additional configuration is needed.
Users are advised to study the documentation in the source files and
add activation code to their ~/.jed/jed.rc. The ``examples`` subdir contains
generic examples that could also serve as templates for this task.

Versions
--------

The version numbering scheme for the jed-extra package follows the versions
on Jedmodes. 

Support for UTF8 is still experimental.
