 ;;; Commentary:
 
 ;; This package implements CSV mode, a major mode for editing records
 ;; in a generalized CSV (character-separated values) format.  It binds
 ;; files with prefix ".csv" to `csv-mode' (and ".tsv" to `tsv-mode') in
 ;; `auto-mode-alist'.
 
 ;; In CSV mode, the following commands are available:
 
 ;; - C-c C-s (`csv-sort-fields') and C-c C-n (`csv-sort-numeric-fields')
 ;;   respectively sort lexicographically and numerically on a
 ;;   specified field or column.
 
 ;; - C-c C-r (`csv-reverse-region') reverses the order.  (These
 ;;   commands are based closely on, and use, code in `sort.el'.)
 
 ;; - C-c C-k (`csv-kill-fields') and C-c C-y (`csv-yank-fields') kill
 ;;   and yank fields or columns, although they do not use the normal
 ;;   kill ring.  C-c C-k can kill more than one field at once, but
 ;;   multiple killed fields can be yanked only as a fixed group
 ;;   equivalent to a single field.
 
 ;; - `csv-align-mode' keeps fields visually aligned, on-the-fly.
 ;;   It truncates fields to a maximum width that can be changed per-column
 ;;   with `csv-align-set-column-width'.
 ;;   Alternatively, C-c C-a (`csv-align-fields') aligns fields into columns
 ;;   and C-c C-u (`csv-unalign-fields') undoes such alignment;
 ;;   separators can be hidden within aligned records (controlled by
 ;;   `csv-invisibility-default' and `csv-toggle-invisibility').
 
 ;; - C-c C-t (`csv-transpose') interchanges rows and columns.  For
 ;;   details, see the documentation for the individual commands.
 
 ;; - `csv-set-separator' sets the CSV separator of the current buffer,
 ;;   while `csv-guess-set-separator' guesses and sets the separator
 ;;   based on the current buffer's contents.
 ;;   `csv-guess-set-separator' can be useful to add to the mode hook
 ;;   to have CSV mode guess and set the separator automatically when
 ;;   visiting a buffer:
 ;;
 ;;     (add-hook 'csv-mode-hook 'csv-guess-set-separator)
 
 ;; CSV mode can recognize fields separated by any of several single
 ;; characters, specified by the value of the customizable user option
 ;; `csv-separators'.  CSV data fields can be delimited by quote
 ;; characters (and must if they contain separator characters).  This
 ;; implementation supports quoted fields, where the quote characters
 ;; allowed are specified by the value of the customizable user option
 ;; `csv-field-quotes'.  By default, the both commas and tabs are considered
 ;; as separators and the only field quote is a double quote.
 ;; These user options can be changed ONLY by customizing them, e.g. via M-x
 ;; customize-variable.
 
 ;; CSV mode commands ignore blank lines and comment lines beginning
 ;; with the value of the buffer local variable `csv-comment-start',
 ;; which by default is #.  The user interface is similar to that of
 ;; the standard commands `sort-fields' and `sort-numeric-fields', but
 ;; see the major mode documentation below.
 
 ;; The global minor mode `csv-field-index-mode' provides display of
 ;; the current field index in the mode line, cf. `line-number-mode'
 ;; and `column-number-mode'.  It is on by default.
 
 ;;;; See also:
 
 ;; the standard GNU Emacs 21 packages align.el, which will align
 ;; columns within a region, and delim-col.el, which helps to prettify
 ;; columns in a text region or rectangle;
 
 ;; csv.el by Ulf Jasper <ulf.jasper at web.de>, which provides
 ;; functions for reading/parsing comma-separated value files and is
 ;; available at http://de.geocities.com/ulf_jasper/emacs.html (and in
 ;; the gnu.emacs.sources archives).
 
 ;;; Installation:
 
 ;; Put this file somewhere that Emacs can find it (i.e. in one of the
 ;; directories in your `load-path' such as `site-lisp'), optionally
 ;; byte-compile it (recommended), and put this in your .emacs file:

 ;; (autoload 'csv-mode "csv-mode"
 ;;   "Major mode for editing comma-separated value files." t)
 
 ;;; News:
 
 ;; Since 1.27:
 ;; - `csv-end-of-field' no longer errors out in the presence of
 ;;    unclosed quotes.
 
 ;; Since 1.26:
 ;; - `csv-guess-separator' will no longer guess the comment-start
 ;;    character as a potential separator character.
 
 ;; Since 1.25:
 ;; - The ASCII control character 31 Unit Separator can now be
 ;;   recognized as a CSV separator by `csv-guess-separator'.
 
 ;; Since 1.24:
 ;; - New function `csv--unquote-value'.
 ;; - New function `csv-parse-current-row'.
 
 ;; Since 1.21:
 ;; - New command `csv-insert-column'.
 ;; - New config var `csv-align-min-width' for `csv-align-mode'.
 ;; - New option `csv-confirm-region'.
 
 ;; Since 1.20:
 ;; - New command `csv-guess-set-separator' that automatically guesses
 ;;   and sets the CSV separator of the current buffer.
 ;; - New command `csv-set-separator' for setting the CSV separator
 ;;   manually.
 
 ;; Since 1.9:
 ;; - `csv-align-mode' auto-aligns columns dynamically (on screen).
 
 ;; Before that:
 ;; Begun on 15 November 2003 to provide lexicographic sorting of
 ;; simple CSV data by field and released as csv.el.  Facilities to
 ;; kill multiple fields and customize separator added on 9 April 2004.
 ;; Converted to a major mode and renamed csv-mode.el on 10 April 2004,
 ;; partly at the suggestion of Stefan Monnier <monnier at
 ;; IRO.UMontreal.CA> to avoid conflict with csv.el by Ulf Jasper.
 ;; Field alignment, comment support and CSV mode customization group
 ;; added on 1 May 2004.  Support for index ranges added on 6 June
 ;; 2004.  Multiple field separators added on 12 June 2004.
 ;; Transposition added on 22 June 2004.  Separator invisibility added
 ;; on 23 June 2004.
 
 ;;; To do (maybe):
 
 ;; Make separators and quotes buffer-local and locally settable.
 ;; Support (La)TeX tables: set separator and comment; support record
 ;; end string.
 ;; Convert comma-separated to space- or tab-separated.

   "Major mode for editing files of comma-separated value type.
 
 CSV mode is derived from `text-mode', and runs `text-mode-hook' before
 running `csv-mode-hook'.  It turns `auto-fill-mode' off by default.
 CSV mode can be customized by user options in the CSV customization
 group.  The separators are specified by the value of `csv-separators'.
 
 CSV mode commands ignore blank lines and comment lines beginning with
 the value of `csv-comment-start', which delimit \"paragraphs\".
 \"Sexp\" is re-interpreted to mean \"field\", so that `forward-sexp'
 \(\\[forward-sexp]), `kill-sexp' (\\[kill-sexp]), etc. all apply to fields.
 Standard comment commands apply, such as `comment-dwim' (\\[comment-dwim]).
 
 If `font-lock-mode' is enabled then separators, quoted values and
 comment lines are highlighted using respectively `csv-separator-face',
 `font-lock-string-face' and `font-lock-comment-face'.
 
 The user interface (UI) for CSV mode commands is similar to that of
 the standard commands `sort-fields' and `sort-numeric-fields', except
 that if there is no prefix argument then the UI prompts for the field
 index or indices.  In `transient-mark-mode' only: if the region is not
 set then the UI attempts to set it to include all consecutive CSV
 records around point, and prompts for confirmation; if there is no
 prefix argument then the UI prompts for it, offering as a default the
 index of the field containing point if the region was not set
 explicitly.  The region set automatically is delimited by blank lines
 and comment lines, and the number of header lines at the beginning of
 the region given by the value of `csv-header-lines' are skipped.
 
 Sort order is controlled by `csv-descending'.
 
 CSV mode provides the following specific keyboard key bindings:

 Furthermore, more commonly appearing characters are scored higher
 than those who appear less often.
