- ;;; Commentary:
- ;; This file defines Tabulated List mode, a generic major mode for
- ;; displaying lists of tabulated data, intended for other major modes
- ;; to inherit from. It provides several utility routines, e.g. for
- ;; pretty-printing lines of tabulated data to fit into the appropriate
- ;; columns.
- ;; For usage information, see the documentation of `tabulated-list-mode'.
- ;; This package originated from Tom Tromey's Package Menu mode,
- ;; extended and generalized to be used by other modes.
- ;;; Code:
- ;; The reason `tabulated-list-format' and other variables are
- ;; permanent-local is to make it convenient to switch to a different
- ;; major mode, switch back, and have the original Tabulated List data
- ;; still valid. See, for example, ebuff-menu.el.
- (defvar-local tabulated-list-format nil

- This should be a vector of elements (NAME WIDTH SORT . PROPS),

- This is the label for the column in the header line.
- Different columns must have non-`equal' names.
- - WIDTH is the width to reserve for the column.
- For the final element, its numerical value is ignored.
- - SORT specifies how to sort entries by this column.
- If nil, this column cannot be used for sorting.
- If t, sort by comparing the string value printed in the column.
- Otherwise, it should be a predicate function suitable for
- `sort', accepting arguments with the same form as the elements
- of `tabulated-list-entries'.
- - PROPS is a plist of additional column properties.
- Currently supported properties are:
- - `:right-align': If non-nil, the column should be right-aligned.
- - `:pad-right': Number of additional padding spaces to the
- right of the column (defaults to 1 if omitted).")

- - Each DESC is a column descriptor, one for each column

- This mode is usually not used directly; instead, other major
- modes are derived from it, using `define-derived-mode'.
- In this major mode, the buffer is divided into multiple columns,
- which are labeled using the header line. Each non-empty line
- belongs to one \"entry\", and the entries can be sorted according
- to their column values.
- An inheriting mode should usually do the following in their body:
- - Set `tabulated-list-format', specifying the column format.
- - Set `tabulated-list-revert-hook', if the buffer contents need
- to be specially recomputed prior to `revert-buffer'.
- - Maybe set a `tabulated-list-entries' function (see below).
- - Maybe set `tabulated-list-printer' (see below).
- - Maybe set `tabulated-list-padding'.
- - Call `tabulated-list-init-header' to initialize `header-line-format'
- according to `tabulated-list-format'.
- An inheriting mode is usually accompanied by a \"list-FOO\"
- command (e.g. `list-packages', `list-processes'). This command
- creates or switches to a buffer and enables the major mode in
- that buffer. If `tabulated-list-entries' is not a function, the
- command should initialize it to a list of entries for displaying.
- Finally, it should call `tabulated-list-print'.
- `tabulated-list-print' calls the printer function specified by
- `tabulated-list-printer', once for each entry. The default
- printer is `tabulated-list-print-entry', but a mode that keeps
- data in an ewoc may instead specify a printer function (e.g., one
- that calls `ewoc-enter-last'), with `tabulated-list-print-entry'
- as the ewoc pretty-printer."
