Johan ############################################## ; this fragment originally came from the web somewhere, but the outline-regexp ; was horribly broken and is broken in all instances of this code floating ; around. Finally fixed by Charl P. Botha <<a href="http://cpbotha.net/";>http://cpbotha.net/</a>> (defun local-python-mode-hook () (setq outline-regexp "[^ \t\n]\\|[ \t]*\\(def[ \t]+\\|class[ \t]+\\)") ; enable our level computation (setq outline-level 'py-outline-level) ; do not use their \C-c@ prefix, too hard to type. Note this overides ;some python mode bindings (setq outline-minor-mode-prefix "\C-c") ; turn on outline mode (outline-minor-mode t) ; initially hide all but the headers (hide-body) (show-paren-mode 1) ; Add information to time-stamp function (setq time-stamp-start "__date__ = .* -- "; start of pattern time-stamp-end "\"" ; end of pattern time-stamp-active t ; do enable time-stamps time-stamp-line-limit 20 ; check first 20 lines time-stamp-format "%04y-%02m-%02d") ; date format ) (defun local-c++-mode-hook () ; Add information to time-stamp function (setq time-stamp-start "Last changed: "; start of pattern time-stamp-end "\n" ; end of pattern time-stamp-active t ; do enable time-stamps time-stamp-line-limit 20 ; check first 20 lines time-stamp-format "%04y-%02m-%02d") ; date format ) On 08/21/2012 10:48 AM, Joachim Berdal Haga wrote: > I was wondering -- is it necessary to keep the source headers up-to-date: > > Modified by Joachim B Haga 2012 > Last changed: 2012-08-20 > etc > > It's easy to forget, and the information is already in bzr in a much > more detailed and reliable form... > > -j. > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dolfin > Post to : dolfin@lists.launchpad.net > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dolfin > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dolfin Post to : dolfin@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dolfin More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
