Subject: Documentation overhaul with Discount (Markdown implementation). The
standard LuaDoc template is no longer used. Instead, the new
`scripts/markdowndoc.lua` has the template for LuaDoc and
`scripts/update_doc` has the template for the Manual. Also added README,
CHANGELOG, and THANKS files.

+# Textadept
+
+## Overview
+
+Textadept is a fast, minimalist, and ridiculously extensible cross-platform text
+editor for programmers. Written in a combination of C and [Lua][] and
+relentlessly optimized for speed and minimalism over the years, Textadept is an
+ideal editor for programmers who want endless extensibility options without
+sacrificing speed or succumbing to code bloat and featuritis.
+
+[Lua]: http://lua.org
+
+## Features
+
+* Self-contained executable -- no installation necessary.
+* Entirely keyboard driven.
+* Unlimited split views.
+* Support for over 80 programming languages.
+* Powerful snippets and key commands.
+* Code autocompletion and API lookup.
+* Unparalleled extensibility.
+
+## Requirements
+
+In its bid for minimalism, Textadept has no dependencies on Windows and Mac OSX
+operating systems and depends only on [GTK+ 2.0][] version 2.16 or greater on
+Linux. Lua is pre-compiled into Textadept on all platforms and a GTK runtime is
+included on Windows and Mac OSX.
+
+[GTK+ 2.0]: http://gtk.org
+
+## Download
+
+Download Textadept from the [project page][].
+
+[project page]: http://foicica.com/textadept
+
+## Installation and Usage
+
+Textadept comes with a comprehensive manual and API documentation in the `doc/`
+directory. They are also available [online][].

+
+## Migration Guides
+
+### Textadept 4 to 5
+
+Lua has been upgraded from [5.1 to 5.2][], so many scripts written for Textadept
+4 are not compatible with Textadept 5. Since incompatible scripts may cause
+crashes on startup, the following guide will help you migrate your scripts from
+Textadept 4 to Textadept 5. While this guide is not exhaustive, it covers the
+changes I had to Textadept's internals.
+
+[5.1 to 5.2]: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#8
+
+#### Module Changes
+
+##### Syntax Changes
+
+Although Lua 5.2 only deprecates Lua 5.1's `module` syntax, Textadept 5 removes
+it. Therefore, replace
+
+ -- File ~/.textadept/modules/foo.lua
+ module('_m.foo', package.seeall)
+
+ function bar()
+ ...
+ end
+
+ ...
+
+and
+
+ -- File ~/.textadept/init.lua
+ require 'textadept'
+ require 'foo'
+
+with
+
+ -- File ~/.textadept/modules/foo.lua
+ local M = {}
+
+ function M.bar()
+ ...
+ end
+
+ ...
+
+ return M
+
+or
+
+ local M = {}
+ local _ENV = M
+ if setfenv then setfenv(1, _ENV) end -- LuaJIT support
+
+ function bar()
+ ...
+ end
+
+ function baz()
+ bar()
+ end
+
+ return M
+
+and
+
+ -- File ~/.textadept/init.lua
+ require 'textadept'
+ _M.foo = require 'foo'
+
+Please remember that, as stated in the documentation, `require 'textadept'` is a
+special case and `_M.textadept = require 'textadept'` is not necessary because
+of internal dependencies. All other modules need the
+`_M.module = require 'module'` construct.
+
+Notice that `_M` is the new module table instead of `_m`. More on this
+[later](#Global.Module.Table).
+
+##### Module References
+
+Replace all instances of `_M` (a reference created by `module()` that holds the
+current module table) with `M` (the local module table you created).
+
+Also, prefix all instances of internal module function calls with `M` if you are
+not using `_ENV`. For example, change
+
+ module('foo', package.seeall)
+
+ function bar()
+ ...
+ end
+
+ function baz()
+ bar()
+ end
+
+to
+
+ local M = {}
+
+ function M.bar()
+ ...
+ end
+
+ function M.baz()
+ M.bar()
+ end
+
+ return M
+
+##### LuaDoc
+
+If you use LuaDoc for your modules, you can still document them like this:
+
+ local M = {}
+
+ --[[ This comment is for LuaDoc
+ ---
+ -- This is the documentation for module foo.
+ module('foo')]]
+
+ ---
+ -- Documentation for bar.
+ -- ...
+ -- @name bar
+ function M.bar()
+ ...
+ end
+
+ return M
+
+##### Global Module Table
+
+Originally, I wanted to use `_M` as the global table that contains modules, but
+Lua 5.1's modules used `_M` silently, so I had to settle with `_m`. Now that
+modules have been removed, `_M` is available again and is used. Therefore,
+replace all instances of `_m` with `_M`. In Textadept, you can easily do a
+search and replace with "Match Case" and "Whole Words" checked -- this is what I
+did when upgrading Textadept's internals.
+
+#### Function Changes
+
+##### `unpack`
+
+`unpack()` has been renamed to `table.unpack()`. Replace all instances of
+`unpack` with `table.unpack`.
+
+##### `xpcall`
+
+`xpcall()` accepts error function parameters so you can change code from
+
+ local args = {...}
+ xpcall(function() return f(unpack(args)) end, error_function)
+
+to
+
+ xpcall(f, error_function, ...)
+
+However, this is not required.
+
+##### `loadstring`
+
+`loadstring()` has been replaced by `load()` since the latter now recognizes a
+string chunk. Replace all instances of `loadstring` with `load`.
+
+##### `setfenv`
+
+`setfenv()` has been removed. In some cases, use `load()` with an environment
+instead. For example, change
+
+ local f, err = loadstring(command)
+ if err then error(err) end
+ setfenv(f, env)()
+
+to
+
+ local f, err = load(command, nil, 'bt', env)
+ if err then error(err) end
+ f()
+
+(The `'bt'` is necessary for loading both binary and text chunks.)
+
+If instead you want to set a function's environment, change
+
+ setfenv(f, env)
+
+to
+
+ debug.setupvalue(f, 1, env)
+
+##### `getfenv`
+
+`getfenv()` has been removed. Change
+
+ local env = getfenv(f)
+
+to
+
+ local debug = require 'debug'
+ local env = debug.getupvalue(f, 1)
+
+##### `os.execute`
+
+`os.execute()`s function parameters have changed. If you are only interested in
+the return code, change
+
+ local code = os.execute(cmd)
+
+to
+
+ local _, _, code = os.execute(cmd)
+
+##### `localize`
+
+Localization is done using a global table [`_L`][] instead of calling
+`locale.localize()`. Replace all instances of `locale.localize('message')` with
+`_L['message']`. This allows messages to be modified via scripts if desirable.
+
+[`_L`]: ../api/_L.html
+
+##### `current_word`
+
+`_M.textadept.editing.current_word()` has been renamed to `select_word()` and
+does not take any parameters. There is a `_M.textadept.keys.utils.delete_word()`
+function that replaces `current_word('delete')`. You can use it or create a new
+function:
+
+ local function delete_word()
+ _M.textadept.editing.select_word()
+ buffer:delete_back()
+ end
+
+#### Theme Changes
+
+Any custom themes need to be changed to remove the `module` syntax. Usually this
+involves changing
+
+ module('lexer', package.seeall)
+
+ colors = {
+ ...
+ }
+
+ style_nothing = style { ... }
+ style_class = style { fore = colors.light_yellow }
+ ...
+ style_identifier = style_nothing
+
+ ...
+
+ style_default = style {
+ ...
+ }
+ style_line_number = { fore = colors.dark_grey, back = colors.black }
+ ...
+
+to
+
+ local l, color, style = lexer, lexer.color, lexer.style
+
+ l.colors = {
+ ...
+ }
+
+ l.style_nothing = style { ... }
+ l.style_class = style { fore = l.colors.light_yellow }
+ ...
+ l.style_identifier = l.style_nothing
+
+ ...
+
+ l.style_default = style {
+ ...
+ }
+ l.style_line_number = { fore = l.colors.dark_grey, back = l.colors.black }
+ ...
+
+Notice the `l.` prefix before most identifiers.
+
+### Textadept 3 to 4
+
+#### Key and Menu Changes
+
+Textadept 4 allow key shortcuts to appear in menus, but only simple ones, not
+keychains. Therefore, Textadept's key commands have changed radically, as has
+the menu structure and menu mnemonics. In order for key shortcuts to appear in
+menus, `_m.textadept.menu` needs to know which commands are assigned to which
+keys. Therefore, the menu module needs to be `require`d *after*
+`_m.textadept.keys`. If your `~/.textadept/init.lua` is calling
+`require 'textadept'`, you do not have to make any changes. If you are loading
+individual modules from `_m.textadept`, ensure `_m.textadept.menu` is loaded
+after `_m.textadept.keys`.
+
+On Mac OSX, key command definition has changed. `m` is now ⌘ (command) and `a`
+is now ⌥ (alt/option). `c` remains ^ (control). Previously `a` was ⌘ and ⌥ was
+undefined. Please note, however, that not all ⌥ combinations by themselves will
+work since that key is typically used to compose locale-dependent characters.
+
+#### Function Changes
+
+##### `select_scope`
+
+`_m.textadept.editing.select_scope()` was renamed to `select_style()`.
+Therefore, replace all instances of `_m.textadept.editing.select_scope` with

+#### Module Changes
+
+##### Core Extensions
+
+There are no more core extention modules (previously in `core/ext/`). They have
+been relocated to `modules/textadept/` so putting
+
+ require 'textadept'
+
+in your `~/.textadept/init.lua` will load all the modules you would expect.
+Please see the [preferences][] page for instructions on how to load specific
+modules.
+
+[preferences]: 9_Preferences.html#User.Init
+
+##### Autoloading
+
+Key commands in `~/.textadept/key_commands.lua` and snippets in
+`~/.textadept/snippets.lua` are no longer auto-loaded. Instead, modify
+[`keys`][] and/or [`snippets`][] from within your `~/.textadept/init.lua` or a
+file loaded by `~/.textadept/init.lua`.
+
+[`keys`]: ../api/keys.html
+[`snippets`]: ../api/_M.textadept.snippets.html
+
+#### Function Changes
+
+Textadept has a brand new Lua [API][]. It is likely that any external scripts,
+including themes, need to be rewritten.
+
+Here is a summary of API changes:
+
+* `_m.textadept.lsnippets` renamed to [`_m.textadept.snippets`][].
