 ;;; Commentary:
 
-;; Allout outline mode provides extensive outline formatting and
-;; and manipulation beyond standard emacs outline mode.  It provides
-;; for structured editing of outlines, as well as navigation and
-;; exposure.  It also provides for syntax-sensitive text like
-;; programming languages.  (For an example, see the allout code
-;; itself, which is organized in ;; an outline framework.)
-;; 
-;; In addition to outline navigation and exposure, allout includes:
-;; 
-;;  - topic-oriented repositioning, cut, and paste
-;;  - integral outline exposure-layout
-;;  - incremental search with dynamic exposure and reconcealment of hidden text
-;;  - automatic topic-number maintenance
+;; Allout outline minor mode provides extensive outline formatting and
+;; and manipulation beyond standard emacs outline mode.  Some features:
+;;
+;;  - Classic outline-mode topic-oriented navigation and exposure adjustment
+;;  - Topic-oriented editing including coherent topic and subtopic
+;;    creation, promotion, demotion, cut/paste across depths, etc.
+;;  - Incremental search with dynamic exposure and reconcealment of text
+;;  - Customizable bullet format - enables programming-language specific
+;;    outlining, for code-folding editing.  (Allout code itself is to try it;
+;;    formatted as an outline - do ESC-x eval-current-buffer in allout.el; but
+;;    emacs local file variables need to be enabled when the
+;;    file was visited - see `enable-local-variables'.)
+;;  - Configurable per-file initial exposure settings
+;;  - Symmetric-key and key-pair topic encryption, plus symmetric passphrase
+;;    mnemonic support, with verification against an established passphrase
+;;    (using a stashed encrypted dummy string) and user-supplied hint
+;;    maintenance.  (See allout-toggle-current-subtree-encryption docstring.)
+;;  - Automatic topic-number maintenance
 ;;  - "Hot-spot" operation, for single-keystroke maneuvering and
-;;    exposure control.  (See the `outline-mode' docstring.)
-;; 
-;; and many other features.
-;; 
+;;    exposure control (see the allout-mode docstring)
+;;  - Easy rendering of exposed portions into numbered, latex, indented, etc
+;;    outline styles
+;;  - Careful attention to whitespace - enabling blank lines between items
+;;    and maintenance of hanging indentation (in paragraph auto-fill and
+;;    across topic promotion and demotion) of topic bodies consistent with
+;;    indentation of their topic header.
+;;
+;; and more.

+consistency checking, user-provided hinting for symmetric key
+mode, and auto-encryption of topics pending encryption on save.
+\(Topics pending encryption are, by default, automatically

                 HOT-SPOT Operation
 
 Hot-spot operation provides a means for easy, single-keystroke outline
 navigation and exposure control.

 When the text cursor is positioned directly on the bullet character of
 a topic, regular characters (a to z) invoke the commands of the
-corresponding outline-mode keymap control chars.  For example, \"f\"

-Thus, by positioning the cursor on a topic bullet, you can execute
-the outline navigation and manipulation commands with a single
-keystroke.  Non-literal chars never get this special translation, so
-you can use them to get away from the hot-spot, and back to normal
-operation.

+Optional FETCH-PASS universal argument provokes key-pair encryption with
+single universal argument.  With doubled universal argument \(value = 16),
+it forces prompting for the passphrase regardless of availability from the
+passphrase cache.  With no universal argument, the appropriate passphrase
+is obtained from the cache, if available, else from the user.
+
+Currently only GnuPG encryption is supported.
+
+\**NOTE WELL** that the encrypted text must be ascii-armored.  For gnupg
+encryption, include the option ``armor'' in your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file.
+
+Both symmetric-key and key-pair encryption is implemented.  Symmetric is
+the default, use a single \(x4) universal argument for keypair mode.
+
+Encrypted topic's bullet is set to a `~' to signal that the contents of the
+topic \(body and subtopics, but not heading) is pending encryption or
+encrypted.  `*' asterisk immediately after the bullet signals that the body
+is encrypted, its' absence means the topic is meant to be encrypted but is
+not.  When a file with topics pending encryption is saved, topics pending
+encryption are encrypted.  See allout-encrypt-unencrypted-on-saves for
+auto-encryption specifics.
+
+\**NOTE WELL** that automatic encryption that happens during saves will
+default to symmetric encryption - you must manually \(re)encrypt key-pair
+encrypted topics if you want them to continue to use the key-pair cipher.
+
+Level-1 topics, with prefix consisting solely of an `*' asterisk, cannot be
+encrypted.  If you want to encrypt the contents of a top-level topic, use
+\\[allout-shift-in] to increase its depth.
+
+  Passphrase Caching
+
+The encryption passphrase is solicited if not currently available in the
+passphrase cache from a recent encryption action.
+
+The solicited passphrase is retained for reuse in a buffer-specific cache
+for some set period of time \(default, 60 seconds), after which the string
+is nulled.  The passphrase cache timeout is customized by setting
+`pgg-passphrase-cache-expiry'.
+
+  Symmetric Passphrase Hinting and Verification
+
+If the file previously had no associated passphrase, or had a different
+passphrase than specified, the user is prompted to repeat the new one for
+corroboration.  A random string encrypted by the new passphrase is set on
+the buffer-specific variable `allout-passphrase-verifier-string', for
+confirmation of the passphrase when next obtained, before encrypting or
+decrypting anything with it.  This helps avoid mistakenly shifting between
+keys.
+
+If allout customization var `allout-passphrase-verifier-handling' is
+non-nil, an entry for `allout-passphrase-verifier-string' and its value is
+added to an Emacs 'local variables' section at the end of the file, which
+is created if necessary.  That setting is for retention of the passphrase
+verifier across emacs sessions.
+
+Similarly, `allout-passphrase-hint-string' stores a user-provided reminder
+about their passphrase, and `allout-passphrase-hint-handling' specifies
+when the hint is presented, or if passphrase hints are disabled.  If
+enabled \(see the `allout-passphrase-hint-handling' docstring for details),
+the hint string is stored in the local-variables section of the file, and
+solicited whenever the passphrase is changed."
