These underscores are ignored by Gri, so that for example `<font color="#82140F"><code>.v. = 1_000</code></font>' and `<font color="#82140F"><code>.v. = 1000</code></font>' are equivalent as far as Gri is concerned. </ul> <p> <b>Emacs mode</b> (see <a href="Emacs.html#EmacsMode">Emacs Mode</a>) <ul> <li> Give `<font color="#82140F"><kbd>M-Tab</kbd></font>' the ability to complete builtin variables and synonyms as well as commands <li> Add ``idle-timer minibuffer help'' to display defaults for builtin variables under the cursor. <li> Add fontification of builtin variables <em>only</em> if they are spelled correctly. </ul> <p> <b>Developer changes</b> <ul> <li> Add `<font color="#82140F"><code>make source-arch-indep</code></font>' target in sources. This will build a source tar file in which all the architecture-independent material (documentation in HTML, postscript and Info formats) is pre-made. This makes it easier to install gri on a host that doesn't have TeX and ImageMagick installed. <li> Complete the port to IBM's compiler for their AIX operating system. </ul> <p> </table> <img src="./resources/bottom_banner.gif" usemap="#navigate_bottom" border="0"> </body> </html>
