Tutorial Details:

Linux Editing Files Emacs Beginner's HOWTO

This document is targeted at the Linux user interested in learning a bit about Emacs and trying it out. This actually began as the outline of a brief tutorial that I was to give at a Toledo Area Linux User Group meeting: http://www.talug.org/. It has since grown a bit as the result of the helpful feedback I have received from the community. See the Credits section for details.

Having said that, there is virtually nothing Linux-specific in this document. It applies to virtually all flavors of Unix and even Emacs running on Microsoft Windows. But since this document is part of the Linux Documentation Project, I make a point of saying that it was developed for Linux users--because it was.

And finally, those of you who prefer the name GNU/Linux to simply ``Linux'' (read http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html to see why one might) are welcomed to mentally substitute GNU/Linux for all occurrences of Linux in this document. While I don't disagree with the reasoning and spirit behind.

Emacs is one of the most popular and powerful text editors used on Linux (and Unix). It is second in popularity only to vi. It is known for it huge feature set, ability to be easily customized, and lack of bugs. It's large feature set and ability to be customized actually are the result of how Emacs was designed and implemented.
