This Emacs Major Mode is designed for the iRODS 3.0 rule engine. The 3.0 rule engine is documented in the iRODS Wiki page "Changes and Improvements to the Rule Language and Rule Engine" at http://wiki.irods.org/index.php/Changes_and_Improvements_to_the_Rule_Language_and_the_Rule_Engine. The following features are supported:
- Syntax Coloring
- Comment Handling
The iRODS distribution includes a directory of example rules within iRODS/clients/icommands/test/rules3.0. These provide a good range of examples that can be used for testing the mode.
The implementation is based on the tutorials provided by Xah Lee on the ErgoEmacs site at http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/elisp.html.
