- ;;; Commentary:
-
- ;; This package allows arbitrary undoing in Gnus buffers. As all the
- ;; Gnus buffers aren't very text-oriented (what is in the buffers is
- ;; just some random representation of the actual data), normal Emacs
- ;; undoing doesn't work at all for Gnus.
- ;;
- ;; This package works by letting Gnus register functions for reversing
- ;; actions, and then calling these functions when the user pushes the
- ;; `undo' key. As with normal `undo', there it is possible to set
- ;; undo boundaries and so on.
- ;;
- ;; Internally, the undo sequence is represented by the
- ;; `gnus-undo-actions' list, where each element is a list of functions
- ;; to be called, in sequence, to undo some action. (An "action" is a
- ;; collection of functions.)
- ;;
- ;; For instance, a function for killing a group will call
- ;; `gnus-undo-register' with a function that un-kills the group. This
- ;; package will put that function into an action.
