Emacs Lisp References

Xah Lee, 2005-10

This page is a overview of elisp references.

For a short encyclopedia styled intro about elisp, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs_Lisp

If you don't have much programing experience, see “An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp” by Robert J Chassell. (1990,...,2004) At: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-lisp-intro/. This is bundled with emacs 22. To view it in emacs, type “Ctrl+i h”, then click on the “Emacs Lisp Into”.

The official doc for elisp is the “GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual”, by Richard Stallman and the emacs community. (1990,...,2006) A copy is available at: http://xahlee.org/elisp/index.html.

Both the elisp intro and the elisp reference are extremely well-written. They are the highest quality technical writing in the info tech industry.
