Demo/stdwin/ibrowse/ibrowse.py

# Browser for "Info files" as used by the Emacs documentation system.
#
# Now you can read Info files even if you can't spare the memory, time or
# disk space to run Emacs.  (I have used this extensively on a Macintosh
# with 1 Megabyte main memory and a 20 Meg harddisk.)
#
# You can give this to someone with great fear of complex computer
# systems, as long as they can use a mouse.
#
# Another reason to use this is to encourage the use of Info for on-line
# documentation of software that is not related to Emacs or GNU.
# (In particular, I plan to redo the Python and STDWIN documentation
# in texinfo.)


# NB: this is not a self-executing script.  You must startup Python,
# import ibrowse, and call ibrowse.main().  On UNIX, the script 'ib'
# runs the browser.


# Configuration:
#
# - The pathname of the directory (or directories) containing
#   the standard Info files should be set by editing the
#   value assigned to INFOPATH in module ifile.py.
#
# - The default font should be set by editing the value of FONT
#   in this module (ibrowse.py).
#
# - For fastest I/O, you may look at BLOCKSIZE and a few other
#   constants in ifile.py.


# This is a fairly large Python program, split in the following modules:
#
# ibrowse.py	Main program and user interface.
#		This is the only module that imports stdwin.
#
# ifile.py	This module knows about the format of Info files.
#		It is imported by all of the others.
#
# itags.py	This module knows how to read prebuilt tag tables,
#		including indirect ones used by large texinfo files.
#
# icache.py	Caches tag tables and visited nodes.


# XXX There should really be a different tutorial, as the user interface
# XXX differs considerably from Emacs...

# Default font.
# This should be an acceptable argument for stdwin.setfont();
# on the Mac, this can be a pair (fontname, pointsize), while
# under X11 it should be a standard X11 font name.
# For best results, use a constant width font like Courier;
# many Info files contain tabs that don't align with other text
# unless all characters have the same width.
