The Emacs Editor
If you're editing TLC files, we recommend trying to use Emacs. You can get a copy of Emacs from http://www.gnu.org.
The MathWorks has created a tlc-mode for Emacs that gives automatic indenting and color-coded syntax highlighting of TLC files. You can obtain tlc-mode (and matlab-mode) from our Web site.
ftp://ftp.mathworks.com/pub/contrib/emacs_add_ons
See the readme.txt file for instructions on how to configure tlc-mode.
TLC code is much more readable using the color-coded syntax feature in Emacs.
Getting Started
Ctrl-x Ctrl-f file.tlc <return> |
Loads a file into an Emacs buffer for editing. |
Ctrl-x Ctrl-s |
Saves the file in the current buffer. |
Ctrl-x Ctrl-c |
Exits Emacs. |
Ctrl stands for control key. For example, to load a file into Emacs, hold down the control key and type x, followed by f with the control key still pressed, then release the control key and type the name of a file followed by return. A tutorial is available from the Emacs Help menu.
Creating a TAGS File
If you are familiar with Emacs TAGS, you can create a TAGS file for TLC files by invoking
etags --regex='/[ \t]*\%function[ \t]+.+/' --language=none *.tlc
in the directory where your .tlc files are located. The etags command is located the emacs_root/bin directory.
