Defining Functions and Commands - Learning Emacs Lisp #3

How to define basic functions, handle arguments, write interactive commands, and document them in Emacs Lisp.

In this stream, we'll continue learning the fundamentals of Emacs Lisp by showing how to define functions and commands: - Basic function definitions - Function argument types (optional, rest) - Unnamed (lambda) functions - Invoking functions stored in variables and parameters - Adding documentation strings - Defining interactive functions (commands) We'll also start working on the basic steps of the Emacs package that we'll be creating for the rest of this series!
