These functions for parsing words use the syntax table to decide whether a given character is part of a word. See section 35. Syntax Tables.
If it is possible to move count words, without being stopped
prematurely by the buffer boundary or a field boundary, the value is
t
. Otherwise, the return value is nil
and point stops at
the buffer boundary or field boundary.
If inhibit-field-text-motion
is non-nil
,
this function ignores field boundaries.
In an interactive call, count is specified by the numeric prefix argument.
forward-word
, except that it moves
backward until encountering the front of a word, rather than forward.
In an interactive call, count is set to the numeric prefix argument.
forward-word
and everything
that uses it. If it is non-nil
, then characters in the
"escape" and "character quote" syntax classes count as part of
words. Otherwise, they do not.
nil
, certain motion functions including
forward-word
, forward-sentence
, and
forward-paragraph
ignore field boundaries.
