  26 ;;; Commentary:
  27
  28 ;; Reveal mode is a minor mode that makes sure that text around point
  29 ;; is always visible.  When point enters a region of hidden text,
  30 ;; `reveal-mode' temporarily makes it visible.
  31 ;;
  32 ;; This is normally used in conjunction with `outline-minor-mode',
  33 ;; `hs-minor-mode', `hide-ifdef-mode', ...
  34 ;;
  35 ;; It only works with packages that hide text using overlays.
  36 ;; Packages can provide special support for it by placing
  37 ;; a function in the `reveal-toggle-invisible' property on the symbol
  38 ;; used as the value of the `invisible' overlay property.
  39 ;; The function is called right after revealing (or re-hiding) the
  40 ;; text with two arguments: the overlay and a boolean that's non-nil
  41 ;; if we have just revealed the text.  When revealing, that function
  42 ;; may re-hide some of the text.
  43
  44 ;;; Todo:
  45
  46 ;; - find other hysteresis features.
  47 ;; - don't hide after a scroll command
  48 ;; - delay hiding by a couple seconds (i.e. hide in the background)
