What are Modes?

We talked about C, C++, Lisp, and HTML modes.

C Mode

We discussed the following functions under the C mode...

• C -> Comment Out Region
• C -> Uncomment Region
• C -> Indent Line or Region
• C -> Foreword Statement
• C -> Backward Statement

C++ Mode

We did not discuss in class, but C++ mode also supports the same functions as under C mode...

• C++ -> Comment Out Region
• C++ -> Uncomment Region
• C++ -> Indent Line or Region
• C++ -> Foreword Statement
• C++ -> Backward Statement

HTML Mode

I also showed how to create a very basic HTML document using Xemacs HTML mode. We simple typed "xemacs" followed by the HTML file we want to create ("xemacs foo.html &"). Xemacs may prompt you for your email address and ask you to give a title for the document. We finally copied over this document into the "~/../pub/www/" directory, and viewed it at "http://userpages.umbc.edu/~username/foo.html".
