A buffer can only have one major +mode, but in literate styles of programming and proving we want to mix +program text with documentation in a single file. A way of +multiplexing major modes is needed, so that different regions of a +buffer can be edited in different modes. One approach may be to use +"views" onto untangled buffers, although it isn't clear how search and +replace, etc, should behave in this case. +</p><p> +The <a href="http://mmm-mode.sourceforge.net/">MMM mode</a> Emacs +add-on allows multiple-modes in a similar way, and was originally +designed for the situation where you have a script embedded in an HTML +page. +This project +might try applying MMM mode for Proof General +with Coq and Isabelle/Isar, as a feasibility demonstration. +</p><p> +<b>Skills:</b> +A passion for Emacs and Emacs Lisp. +</p><p> +<b>Proposer:</b> +<a href="http://zermelo.dcs.ed.ac.uk/~da">David Aspinall</a>. +</p> + |
