;;; Commentary / README
;; these functions allow you to browse the libxml documentation
;; (using lynx within emacs by default;
;; ----- Installing
;; 1. add the following to ~/.emacs (adapt path and remove comments !)
;; (autoload 'libxmldoc-lookup-symbol "~/elisp/libxml-doc"
;; "Look up libxml-symbols and start browser on documentation." t)
;; or put this file in load-path and use this:
;; (autoload 'libxmldoc-lookup-symbol "libxml-doc"
;; "Look up libxml-symbols and start browser on documentation." t)
;; 2. adapt libxmldoc-root:
;; i.e. (setq libxmldoc-root "~/libxml2-2.0.0/doc/html/")
;; 3. change the filter-regex: by default, cpp-defines, callbacks and
;; html-functions are excluded (C-h v libxmldoc-filter-regexp)
;; 4. consider customizing libxmldoc-browse-url (lynx by default);
;; cannot use Emacs/W3 4.0pre46 because it has problems with the html
;; ----- Using
;; call M-x libxmldoc-lookup-symbol: this will prompt with completion and
;; then open the browser showing the documentation. If the word around the
;; point matches a symbol, that is used instead. You can also call
;; libxmldoc-lookup-symbol noninteractively and pass the symbol.
;; Note:
;; an alternative to libxml-doc is emacs tags:
;; $ cd libxml2-2.3.8
;; $ etags *.c *.h
;; $ emacs
;; M-. (M-x find-tag) ... or
;; M-x tags-search ... RET M-, M-, ...
;; (for more information: info emacs RET m Tags RET)
;;; ChangeLog:
;; Wed Jun 21 01:07:12 2000: initial release
;; Wed Jun 21 01:45:29 2000: added libxmldoc-lookup-symbol-at-point
;; Wed Jun 21 23:37:58 2000: libxmldoc-lookup-symbol now uses
;; (thing-at-point 'word) if it matches a symbol
;; Thu Jun 22 02:37:46 2000: filtering is only done for completion
;; Thu Jun 22 21:03:41 2000: libxmldoc-browse-url can be customized
;; Thu May 31 2001 (Geert):
;; - Changed the `gnome-xml-' html file prefix into `libxml-'.
;; - Changed the 'word match from thing-at-point into 'symbol.
;; With 'word, identifiers with an underscore (e.g. BAD_CAST)
;; don't get matched.
;; Fri Jun 8 16:29:18 2001, Sat Jun 23 16:19:47 2001:
;; complete rewrite of libxmldoc-lookup-symbol
;; by Felix Natter <fnatter@gmx.net>, Geert Kloosterman <geertk@ai.rug.nl>:
;; - Now keeps the list of symbols between calls to speed things up.
;; - filtering is only used when no symbol is passed and
;; thing-at-point does not match a symbol and "*" + thing-at-point
;; does not match a symbol (this is used to catch callbacks) and
;; libxmldoc-filter-regexp is non-nil.
;; Sat Jun 23 16:20:34 2001: update the docstrings
;; Sat Jun 23 16:22:54 2001 (Geert Kloosterman <geertk@ai.rug.nl>):
;; update README: use autoload instead of load+c-mode-hook
;;; TODO:
;; - use command-execute for libxmldoc-browse-url
;; - keep (match-string 1) in a variable (libxmldoc-get-list-of-symbols)
;; - check the (require ..)-statements
;;; Code:
(provide 'libxmldoc)
(require 'browse-url)
