# a68-mode -- Algol68 major mode
This is an improved and modernised version of the Algol68 mode by Jose
E. Marchesi. It fully supports automatic indentation and font locking
(i.e. syntax highlighting -- comments included).
a68-mode only supports the UPPER stropping style and not the QUOTE or
POINT style. Patch for those are welcome. At least in theory, it
could be possible with a clever usage of text properties and/or
overlays to implement the **strict** language and use a bold typeface
for the "reserved words".
### Manual installation
Just put `a68-mode.el` somewhere in your `load-path` and require it.
Or visit the file with Emacs and `M-x package-install-file`.
### Customization
The following variables are available for customization (see `M-x
customize-group a68 RET`)
* `a68-indent-level` (default 3): indentation offset
* `a68-comment-style` (default `"#"`): the default comment style used
by e.g. `comment-dwim`.
