25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; This package provides functions which read a URL (Uniform Resource
28 ;; Locator) from the minibuffer, defaulting to the URL around point,
29 ;; and ask a World-Wide Web browser to load it. It can also load the
30 ;; URL associated with the current buffer. Different browsers use
31 ;; different methods of remote control so there is one function for
32 ;; each supported browser. If the chosen browser is not running, it
33 ;; is started. Currently there is support for the following browsers,
34 ;; some of them probably now obsolete:
36 ;; Function Browser Earliest version
37 ;; browse-url-mozilla Mozilla Don't know
38 ;; browse-url-firefox Firefox Don't know (tried with 1.0.1)
39 ;; browse-url-chromium Chromium 3.0
40 ;; browse-url-galeon Galeon Don't know
41 ;; browse-url-epiphany Epiphany Don't know
42 ;; browse-url-netscape Netscape 1.1b1
43 ;; browse-url-mosaic XMosaic/mMosaic <= 2.4
44 ;; browse-url-cci XMosaic 2.5
45 ;; browse-url-w3 w3 0
46 ;; browse-url-w3-gnudoit w3 remotely
47 ;; browse-url-text-* Any text browser 0
48 ;; browse-url-generic arbitrary
49 ;; browse-url-default-windows-browser MS-Windows browser
50 ;; browse-url-default-macosx-browser Mac OS X browser
51 ;; browse-url-xdg-open Free Desktop xdg-open on Gnome, KDE, Xfce4, LXDE
52 ;; browse-url-gnome-moz GNOME interface to Mozilla
53 ;; browse-url-kde KDE konqueror (kfm)
54 ;; browse-url-elinks Elinks Don't know (tried with 0.12.GIT)
56 ;; [A version of the Netscape browser is now free software
57 ;; <URL:http://www.mozilla.org/>, albeit not GPLed, so it is
58 ;; reasonable to have that as the default.]
60 ;; Note that versions of Netscape before 1.1b1 did not have remote
61 ;; control. <URL:http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html>.
63 ;; Browsers can cache Web pages so it may be necessary to tell them to
64 ;; reload the current page if it has changed (e.g. if you have edited
65 ;; it). There is currently no perfect automatic solution to this.
67 ;; Netscape allows you to specify the id of the window you want to
68 ;; control but which window DO you want to control and how do you
69 ;; discover its id?
71 ;; William M. Perry's excellent "w3" WWW browser for
72 ;; Emacs <URL:ftp://cs.indiana.edu/pub/elisp/w3/>
73 ;; has a function w3-follow-url-at-point, but that
74 ;; doesn't let you edit the URL like browse-url.
75 ;; The `gnuserv' package that can be used to control it in another
76 ;; Emacs process is available from
77 ;; <URL:ftp://ftp.splode.com/pub/users/friedman/packages/>.
79 ;; Lynx is now distributed by the FSF. See also
80 ;; <URL:http://lynx.browser.org/>.
82 ;; Free graphical browsers that could be used by `browse-url-generic'
83 ;; include Chimera <URL:ftp://ftp.cs.unlv.edu/pub/chimera> and
84 ;; <URL:http://www.unlv.edu/chimera/>, Arena
85 ;; <URL:ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/pub/dist/web/arena> and Amaya
86 ;; <URL:ftp://ftp.w3.org/pub/amaya>. mMosaic
87 ;; <URL:ftp://ftp.enst.fr/pub/mbone/mMosaic/>,
88 ;; <URL:http://www.enst.fr/~dauphin/mMosaic/> (with development
89 ;; support for Java applets and multicast) can be used like Mosaic by
90 ;; setting `browse-url-mosaic-program' appropriately.
92 ;; I [Denis Howe, not Dave Love] recommend Nelson Minar
93 ;; <nelson@santafe.edu>'s excellent html-helper-mode.el for editing
94 ;; HTML and thank Nelson for his many useful comments on this code.
95 ;; <URL:http://www.santafe.edu/%7Enelson/hhm-beta/>
97 ;; See also hm--html-menus <URL:http://www.tnt.uni-hannover.de/%7Emuenkel/
98 ;; software/own/hm--html-menus/>. For composing correct HTML see also
99 ;; PSGML the general SGML structure editor package
100 ;; <URL:ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/sgml>; hm--html-menus can be used
101 ;; with this.
103 ;; This package generalizes function html-previewer-process in Marc
104 ;; Andreessen's html-mode (LCD modes/html-mode.el.Z). See also the
105 ;; ffap.el package. The huge hyperbole package also contains similar
106 ;; functions.

109 ;; Help!
111 ;; Can you write and test some code for the Macintrash and Windoze
112 ;; Netscape remote control APIs? (See the URL above).
114 ;; Do any other browsers have remote control?
116 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
117 ;; Usage
119 ;; To display the URL at or before point:
120 ;; M-x browse-url-at-point RET
121 ;; or, similarly but with the opportunity to edit the URL extracted from
122 ;; the buffer, use:
123 ;; M-x browse-url
125 ;; To display a URL by shift-clicking on it, put this in your init file:
126 ;; (global-set-key [S-mouse-2] 'browse-url-at-mouse)
127 ;; (Note that using Shift-mouse-1 is not desirable because
128 ;; that event has a standard meaning in Emacs.)
130 ;; To display the current buffer in a web browser:
131 ;; M-x browse-url-of-buffer RET
133 ;; To display the current region in a web browser:
134 ;; M-x browse-url-of-region RET
136 ;; In Dired, to display the file named on the current line:
137 ;; M-x browse-url-of-dired-file RET
139 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
140 ;; Customization (~/.emacs)
142 ;; To see what variables are available for customization, type
143 ;; `M-x set-variable browse-url TAB'. Better, use
144 ;; `M-x customize-group browse-url'.
146 ;; Bind the browse-url commands to keys with the `C-c C-z' prefix
147 ;; (as used by html-helper-mode):
148 ;; (global-set-key "\C-c\C-z." 'browse-url-at-point)
149 ;; (global-set-key "\C-c\C-zb" 'browse-url-of-buffer)
150 ;; (global-set-key "\C-c\C-zr" 'browse-url-of-region)
151 ;; (global-set-key "\C-c\C-zu" 'browse-url)
152 ;; (global-set-key "\C-c\C-zv" 'browse-url-of-file)
153 ;; (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
154 ;; (lambda ()
155 ;; (local-set-key "\C-c\C-zf" 'browse-url-of-dired-file)))
157 ;; Browse URLs in mail messages under RMAIL by clicking mouse-2:
158 ;; (add-hook 'rmail-mode-hook (lambda () ; rmail-mode startup
159 ;; (define-key rmail-mode-map [mouse-2] 'browse-url-at-mouse)))
160 ;; Alternatively, add `goto-address' to `rmail-show-message-hook'.
162 ;; Gnus provides a standard feature to activate URLs in article
163 ;; buffers for invocation of browse-url.
165 ;; Use the Emacs w3 browser when not running under X11:
166 ;; (or (eq window-system 'x)
167 ;; (setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-w3))
169 ;; To always save modified buffers before displaying the file in a browser:
170 ;; (setq browse-url-save-file t)
172 ;; To get round the Netscape caching problem, you could EITHER have
173 ;; write-file in html-helper-mode make Netscape reload the document:
175 ;; (autoload 'browse-url-netscape-reload "browse-url"
176 ;; "Ask a WWW browser to redisplay the current file." t)
177 ;; (add-hook 'html-helper-mode-hook
178 ;; (lambda ()
179 ;; (add-hook 'local-write-file-hooks
180 ;; (lambda ()
181 ;; (let ((local-write-file-hooks))
182 ;; (save-buffer))
183 ;; (browse-url-netscape-reload)
184 ;; t) ; => file written by hook
185 ;; t))) ; append to l-w-f-hooks
187 ;; OR have browse-url-of-file ask Netscape to load and then reload the
188 ;; file:
190 ;; (add-hook 'browse-url-of-file-hook 'browse-url-netscape-reload)
192 ;; You may also want to customize browse-url-netscape-arguments, e.g.
193 ;; (setq browse-url-netscape-arguments '("-install"))
195 ;; or similarly for the other browsers.
197 ;; To invoke different browsers for different URLs:
198 ;; (setq browse-url-browser-function '(("^mailto:" . browse-url-mail)
199 ;; ("." . browse-url-netscape)))
