2.5 GNU Emacs Interface

Once upon a time, there was port of the Quintus Prolog GNU-Emacs package for GNU-Emacs 18. This package has been dropped from the distribution because it didn't work on Emacs 19 and 20.

The default Prolog mode for GNU-Emacs can be activated by adding the following rules to your Emacs initialisation file:


(setq auto-mode-alist
      (append
       '(("\\.pl" . prolog-mode))
       auto-mode-alist))
(setq prolog-program-name "pl")
(setq prolog-consult-string "[user].\n")
;If you want this.  Indentation is either poor or I don't use
;it as intended.
;(setq prolog-indent-width 8)

If anyone has a better suggestion, please make this public.
