<h3>Editing Axiom's Source Code</h3>

Emacs can be configured to make editing Axiom's source code much easier. First 
of all you have to put <a href="boot-mode.el"><tt>boot-mode.el</tt></a> and 
<tt>noweb-mode.el</tt> (included in the noweb distribution, which in turn is 
included in the Axiom distribution) into your <tt>load-path</tt>. Then you add 
the following to your <tt>.emacs</tt>:

<pre>
;; NOWEB-MODE
(require 'noweb-mode)

(defun kai:set-code-mode ()
  (let* ((filename (buffer-file-name)))
    (let ((end (string-match "\\.pamphlet" filename)))
      (noweb-set-code-mode
       (assoc-default (substring filename 0 end)
                      auto-mode-alist
                      'string-match
                      'fundamental-mode)))))

(add-hook 'noweb-mode-hook 'kai:set-code-mode)

;; BOOT-MODE
(require 'boot-mode)

;; AUTO-MODE-ALIST

(setq auto-mode-alist
      (list*
       '(".*\\.pamphlet" . noweb-mode)
       '(".*\\.boot" . boot-mode)
       '(".*\\.lisp" . lisp-mode)
       '(".*\\.c" . c-mode)
       auto-mode-alist))
</pre>

This code tries to automatically set the code mode in noweb, which only works 
for files with names of the form <tt>file.ext.pamphlet</tt>, where <tt>ext</tt> 
indicates the code mode. For example, <tt>sockio.lisp.pamphlet</tt> would have 
its code mode set to <tt>lisp-mode</tt> and <tt>nci.boot.pamphlet</tt> to 
<tt>boot-mode</tt>. If the auto-detection can't decide on a mode it uses 
<tt>fundamental-mode</tt>.
