Forml mode
An emacs mode for the awesome forml language implemented by @texodus.
Features
Editing inlined javascript
forml-mode allows you to edit sections of inlined javascript in a new
buffer using javascript mode for the full experience of editing
javascript in emacs. Use C-c C-j to start editing a javascript
section in a new buffer. Save the buffer (C-c C-s) to copy the new
content back to the original buffer.
Note that if you're not inside a javascript string, a new section will
be created for you (i.e. `` will be inserted) and when you're
done editing the javascript will be copied in that new section.
Enable flymake
Forml mode comes with flymake setup and ready to use. To enable flymake add the following to your .emacs file:
(custom-set-variables
'(forml-mode-flymake t))If forml isn't on your path you'll have to add the following instead:
(custom-set-variables
'(forml-mode-flymake t)
'(forml-mode-forml-path "path to forml"))where "path to forml" is the path to the forml binary.
Smart commenting
Those of you who use emacs will probably know about this feature from other modes. It is added for those who are new to Emacs and using it to write some Forml code.
Continue a comment on the next line
You can use the combination M-j to continue a comment (that's getting long)
on the next line.
Comment a region
Mark the region by going to the start and hitting C-spc then go to the end
and hit C-spc then use the combination C-; to toggle the comments
for the entire block.
Adding a comment at the end of a line
Use M-; to add a comment at the end of the current line.
Fill a comment
If you have a comment that's too long you can mark the entire line and using
M-q to split the comment to multiple lines.
TODO
- Better indentation, something like haskell mode or coffeescript mode.
