+ @cindex checking syntax
+
+ Flymake mode is a minor mode that performs on-the-fly syntax
+ checking for many programming and markup languages, including C, C++,
+ Perl, HTML, and @TeX{}/address@hidden It is somewhat analogous to Flyspell
+ mode, which performs spell checking for ordinary human languages in a
+ similar fashion (@pxref{Spelling}). As you edit a file, Flymake mode
+ runs an appropriate syntax checking tool in the background, using a
+ temporary copy of the buffer. It then parses the error and warning
+ messages, and highlights the erroneous lines in the buffer. The
+ syntax checking tool used depends on the language; for example, for
+ C/C++ files this is usually the C compiler. Flymake can also use
+ build tools such as @code{make} for checking complicated projects.
+
+ To activate Flymake mode, type @kbd{M-x flymake-mode}. You can move
+ to the errors spotted by Flymake mode with @kbd{M-x
+ flymake-goto-next-error} and @kbd{M-x flymake-goto-prev-error}. To
+ display any error messages associated with the current line, use
+ @kbd{M-x flymake-display-err-menu-for-current-line}.
+
+ For more details about using Flymake, see @ref{Top, Flymake,
+ Flymake, flymake, The Flymake Manual}.
