Subject: [PATCH] lisp/cus-theme: retain documentation string when customizing
 theme
Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2021 10:44:12 -0400

When editing an existing theme using `custom-theme-visit-theme`, the
theme's documentation string would always be discarded and replaced
with "Created DATE."

With this improvement, the existing theme documentation string (if
available) will be presented and editable in the widget, and emitted
in the `deftheme` declaration when saved. A newly-created theme or an
existing theme with no documentation string will get the "Created
DATE" as before.

*Implementation details:* we had to move the chunk marked "Load the
theme settings" earlier in the function `customize-create-theme`. Then
the `custom-theme-description` widget was made an `editable-field`
whose value comes from `theme-documentation` if available, else
`format-time-string`. The rest of the patch is reindentation due to
the larger scope of the let that holds the theme settings.

*Steps to reproduce the issue:*

```
% emacs -Q
M-x custom-theme-visit-theme RET tango RET
```

*Result before this patch:* In the Custom Theme buffer, the
Description field has the text `Created 2021-06-29.` followed by the
editable widget containing the same string a second time.

*Result after this patch:* The Description field has the text "Face
colors using the Tango palette (light background) ..." -- the
documentation string provided to `deftheme` in
`etc/themes/tango-theme.el`.

I think this is a good change.

Why change the widget from a text widget to an editable-field
widget? I think a text widget is better here, since a docstring usually
would have more than one line, and the editable-field keymap remaps RET
while the text keymap doesn't.

That's because there was a change to the :format property of the text
widget, but this call wasn't updated.  Try overriding it like this:
(widget-create 'text :format "%v" ...)

The above should make it work.  Please try it, thank you.

Interesting. I'm not that familiar with the widget types, but the reason 
I
chose 'editable-field is because 'text seems to *duplicate* the content,
which is much more annoying for a multi-line doc string than a short 
name.
I'll attach a screen-shot -- this is the effect when it's
(widget-create 'text ...). [Or maybe this is a widget bug? I'm using git
master from earlier today.]

When it's 'editable-field as in my patch, you are correct that RET 
leaves
the field, but C-j or M-j will insert a newline, and M-q actually seems 
to
work too (though it doesn't preserve the first line of the doc string 
like
it would in a doc string in elisp mode).

If there's a fix for duplicating the string with a text widget, I'll be
happy with it! Thanks.

Yes, that works. I'm including an updated patch below. Thanks. CL

When editing an existing theme using `custom-theme-visit-theme`, the
theme's documentation string would always be discarded and replaced
with "Created DATE."

With this improvement, the existing theme documentation string (if
available) will be presented and editable in the widget, and emitted

existing theme with no documentation string will get the "Created
DATE" as before.

*Implementation details:* we had to move the chunk marked "Load the

the `custom-theme-description` widget was made an `editable-field`
whose value comes from `theme-documentation` if available, else
`format-time-string`. The rest of the patch is reindentation due to
the larger scope of the let that holds the theme settings.

*Steps to reproduce the issue:*

*Result before this patch:* In the Custom Theme buffer, the
Description field has the text `Created 2021-06-29.` followed by the
editable widget containing the same string a second time.

*Result after this patch:* The Description field has the text "Face

documentation string provided to `deftheme` in
`etc/themes/tango-theme.el`.

Oops yes, sorry for the noise. Attached patch should be better -- LMK if

Thanks, the patch looks good to me.


I'd like to install it, but I'm not sure what are the steps in this
case, regarding the copyright assignment.  It doesn't look like a tiny
change, but its mostly indentation: the actual lines changed are 4.

In this case, should I just add a "Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes"
line? Could someone please confirm, or install the change? Thanks.

Yup; indentation changes don't "count" when computing how many lines a
patch is.

However, Christopher has assigned copyright to the FSF, so the patch is
fine to install in any case.

Yes, that would have been enough.  However, Christopher has copyright
assignment on file, so you don't need to add that.  Just install the
changes under his name as the author.

Thanks.

Thank you Lars, I'll keep that in mind for next time.

And thanks for checking that.

Thanks Eli.  I installed the change, and I'm closing this bug report.
