+ ;;; 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 !)
+;; (load ~/elisp/libxml-doc.el)
+;; you can also load this conditionally in a c-mode-hook (preferred)
+;;
+;;(add-hook 'c-mode-hook (lambda()
+;; 						   (load-file "~/elisp/libxml-doc.el")))
+;;
+;; or you can use this if you are using libxml2
+;;(add-hook 'c-mode-hook (lambda()
+;;						 (save-excursion
+;;						   (if (search-forward "#include <libxml/" nil t nil)
+;;							   (load-file "~/elisp/libxml-doc.el"))
+;;						   )))
+;;
+;; 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 (no completion).
+
+ ;;; 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
+
+;;; TODO:
+;; use command-execute for libxml-browse-url
+
+ ;;; Code:
+
+(defvar libxmldoc-root "~/libxml/www.xmlsoft.org"
+  "The root-directory of the libxml2-documentation (~ will be expanded).")
+(defvar libxmldoc-filter-regexp "^html\\|^\\*\\|^[A-Z_]+\\|^$"
+  "Symbols that match this regular expression will be excluded when doing
+completion.
+ For example:
+   callbacks:     \"^\\\\*\" 
+   cpp-defines:   \"[A-Z_]+\"
+   xml-functions  \"^xml\"
+   html-functions \"^html\"
+   sax-functions  \".*SAX\"
+ By default, callbacks, cpp-defines and html* are excluded. If you redefine
+ this, you should include \"^$\" as alternative, which removes empty
+ tokens. i.e. removing \"^html\\\\|\" from the above regexp causes html* to
+ be shown.")
