  25 ;;; Commentary:
  26 ;;
  27 ;; This package provides a simple method of inserting a URL based on the
  28 ;; text at point in the current buffer. This is part of an on-going effort
  29 ;; to increase the information I provide people while reducing the amount
  30 ;; of typing I need to do. No-doubt there are undiscovered Emacs packages
  31 ;; out there that do all of this and do it better, feel free to point me to
  32 ;; them, in the mean time I'm having fun playing with Emacs Lisp.
  33 ;;
  34 ;; The URLs are stored in an external file as a list of either cons cells,
  35 ;; or lists. A cons cell entry looks like this:
  36 ;;
  37 ;;    (<Lookup> . <URL>)
  38 ;;
  39 ;; where <Lookup> is a string that acts as the keyword lookup and <URL> is
  40 ;; the URL associated with it. An example might be:
  41 ;;
  42 ;;    ("GNU" . "http://www.gnu.org/")
  43 ;;
  44 ;; A list entry looks like:
  45 ;;
  46 ;;    (<Lookup> <URL> <Comment>)
  47 ;;
  48 ;; where <Lookup> and <URL> are the same as with the cons cell and <Comment>
  49 ;; is any text you like that describes the URL. This description will be
  50 ;; used when presenting a list of URLS using `quickurl-list'. An example
  51 ;; might be:
  52 ;;
  53 ;;    ("FSF" "http://www.fsf.org/" "The Free Software Foundation")
  54 ;;
  55 ;; Given the above, your quickurl file might look like:
  56 ;;
  57 ;; (("GNU"    . "http://www.gnu.org/")
  58 ;;  ("FSF"      "http://www.fsf.org/" "The Free Software Foundation")
  59 ;;  ("emacs"  . "http://www.emacs.org/")
  60 ;;  ("davep"    "http://www.davep.org/" "Dave's homepage"))
  61 ;;
  62 ;; In case you're wondering about the mixture of cons cells and lists,
  63 ;; quickurl started life using just the cons cells, there were no comments.
  64 ;; URL comments are a later addition and so there is a mixture to keep
  65 ;; backward compatibility with existing URL lists.
  66 ;;
  67 ;; The name and location of the file is up to you, the default name used by
  68 ;; `quickurl' is stored in `quickurl-url-file'.
  69 ;;
  70 ;; quickurl is always available from:
  71 ;;
  72 ;;   <URL:http://www.davep.org/emacs/quickurl.el>
  73
  74 ;;; TODO:
  75 ;;
  76 ;; o The quickurl-browse-url* functions pretty much duplicate their non
  77 ;;   browsing friends. It would feel better if a more generic solution could
  78 ;;   be found.
