 ;;; 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

;; 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.

;; Sat Jun 02 2001 (Geert): 
;;       - Cleaned up URI construction: no extraneous '/' in the URI when 
;;         `libxmldoc-root' ends with a '/'.
;;       - Now keeps the list of symbols between calls to speed things up.
;;         Every filter gets it's own list of symbols.  This way it's 
;;         possible to use different values of `libxmldoc-filter-regexp' in
;;         different buffers.
;;       - Fixed symbols for function pointers: now skips '*' when
;;         fetching identifiers from the html files.

;;; 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.")
