File: cfengine.el.html
Provides support for editing GNU CFEngine files, including font-locking, Imenu and indentation, but with no special keybindings.
By default, CFEngine 3.x syntax is used.
You can set it up so either cfengine2-mode (2.x and earlier) or
cfengine3-mode (3.x) will be picked, depending on the buffer
contents:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\\\.cf\\\\'" . cfengine-auto-mode))
OR you can choose to always use a specific version, if you prefer it:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\\\.cf\\\\'" . cfengine3-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("^cf\\\\." . cfengine2-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("^cfagent.conf\\\\'" . cfengine2-mode))
It's *highly* recommended that you enable the eldoc minor mode:
(add-hook 'cfengine3-mode-hook 'eldoc-mode)
You may also find the command cfengine3-reformat-json-string
useful, just bind it to a key you prefer. It will take the current
string and reformat it as JSON. So if you're editing JSON inside
the policy, it's a quick way to make it more legible without
manually reindenting it. For instance:
(global-set-key [(control f4)] 'cfengine3-reformat-json-string)
This is not the same as the mode written by Rolf Ebert
<ebert@waporo.muc.de>, distributed with cfengine-2.0.5. It does
better fontification and indentation, inter alia.
