% This file is intended to be processed by plain TeX (TeX82).
%
% The final reference card has six columns, three on each side.
% This file can be used to produce it in any of three ways:
% 1 column per page
%    produces six separate pages, each of which needs to be reduced to 80%.
%    This gives the best resolution.
% 2 columns per page
%    produces three already-reduced pages.
%    You will still need to cut and paste.
% 3 columns per page
%    produces two pages which must be printed sideways to make a
%    ready-to-use 8.5 x 11 inch reference card.
%    For this you need a dvi device driver that can print sideways.
% Which mode to use is controlled by setting \columnsperpage above.
%
% To compile and print this document:
% tex refcard.tex
% dvips -t landscape refcard.dvi

\section{Simple Customization}

\metax{customize variables and faces}{M-x customize}

% The intended audience here is the person who wants to make simple
% customizations and knows Lisp syntax.

Making global key bindings in Emacs Lisp (example):

\beginexample%
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c g") 'search-forward)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-\#") 'query-replace-regexp)
\endexample

\section{Writing Commands}

\beginexample%
(defun \<command-name> (\<args>)
  "\<documentation>" (interactive "\<template>")
  \<body>)
\endexample

An example:

\beginexample%
(defun this-line-to-top-of-window (line)
  "Reposition current line to top of window.
With ARG, put point on line ARG."
  (interactive "P")
  (recenter (if (null line)
                0
              (prefix-numeric-value line))))
\endexample

The \kbd{interactive} spec says how to read arguments interactively.
Type \kbd{C-h f interactive} for more details.
