The following is a list of hook variables that let you provide
functions to be called from within Emacs on suitable occasions.
The variables whose names end in @samp{-hooks} or @samp{-functions} are
usually @dfn{abnormal hooks}; their values are lists of functions, but
these functions are called in a special way (they are passed arguments,
-or their values are used). A few of these variables are actually normal
-hooks which were named before we established the convention that normal
-hooks' names should end in @samp{-hook}.
-
-The variables whose names end in @samp{-function} have single functions
-as their values. (In older Emacs versions, some of these variables had
-names ending in @samp{-hook} even though they were not normal hooks;
-however, we have renamed all of those.)
