ccmode: Overview
2 Overview of the Manual
************************
The manual starts with several introductory chapters (including this
one).
The next chunk of the manual describes the day to day _use_ of CC Mode
(as contrasted with how to customize it).
• The chapter “Commands” describes in detail how to use (nearly) all
of CC Mode’s features. There are extensive cross-references from
here to the corresponding sections later in the manual which tell
you how to customize these features.
• “Font Locking” describes how “syntax highlighting” is applied to
your buffers. It is mainly background information and can be
skipped over at a first reading.
The next chunk of the manual describes how to _customize_ CC Mode.
Typically, an overview of a topic is given at the chapter level, then
the sections and subsections describe the material in increasing detail.
• The chapter “Configuration Basics” tells you _how_ to write
customizations: whether in hooks, in styles, in both, or in
neither, depending on your needs. It describes the CC Mode style
system and lists the standard styles that CC Mode supplies.
• The next few chapters describe in detail how to customize the
various features of CC Mode.
• Finally, there is a sample ‘.emacs’ fragment, which might help you
in creating your own customization.
The manual ends with “this and that”, things that don’t fit cleanly into
any of the previous chunks.
• Two chapters discuss the performance of CC Mode and known
bugs/limitations.
• The FAQ contains a list of common problems and questions.
• The next two chapters tell you how to get in touch with the CC Mode
project: whether for updating CC Mode or submitting bug reports.
Finally, there are the customary indices.
