This directory contains a `logtalk.el` file that provides syntax
highlighting for editing Logtalk source files with the Emacs text
editor:

	http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html

These support files are dual-licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and the
Emacs license.

To install logtalk-mode follow the instructions contained in the `logtalk.el` file itself.

Emacs regular expressions don't support look-ahead assertions, which
result is syntax coloring errors in valid code such as the `0'"` term.

Also included are a set of snippets for use with
[yasnippet](https://github.com/joaotavora/yasnippet) and logtalk-mode. To
install these snippets move the `logtalk-mode` directory into `yas-snippet-dirs`
(by default `~/.emacs.d/snippets`).  To set the `author` for the snippets, in
your `init.el` add:

```
(setq-default logtalk-snippets-author "Your Name")
```

Included snippets:
- `obj` (object)
- `cat` (category)
- `pro` (protocol)
- `public` (public declaration)
- `protected` (protected declaration)
- `private` (private declaration)
- `loader` (loader file template)
- `tester` (tester file template)
- `tests` (tests template)
- and more, see the `key` in the file headings for the triggers.
