elpa-language-id

Library to work with programming language identifiers

Description

language-id is a small, focused library that helps other Emacs packages identify the programming languages and markup languages used in Emacs buffers. The main point is that it contains an evolving table of language definitions that doesn't need to be replicated in other packages.

Right now there is only one public function, `language-id-buffer'. It looks at the major mode and other variables and returns the language's GitHub Linguist identifier. We can add support for other kinds of identifiers if there is demand.

This library does not do any statistical text matching to guess the language.
