1 # a68-mode -- Algol68 major mode
2 
3 This is an improved and modernised version of the Algol68 mode by Jose
4 E. Marchesi.  It fully supports automatic indentation and font locking
5 (i.e. syntax highlighting -- comments included).
6 
7 a68-mode only supports the UPPER stropping style and not the QUOTE or
8 POINT style.  Patch for those are welcome.  At least in theory, it
9 could be possible with a clever usage of text properties and/or
10 overlays to implement the **strict** language and use a bold typeface
11 for the "reserved words".
