  27 ;;; Commentary:
  28
  29 ;; WebJump provides a sort of ``programmable hotlist'' of Web sites that can
  30 ;; quickly be invoked in your Web browser.  Each Web site in the hotlist has a
  31 ;; name, and you select the desired site name via a completing string prompt in
  32 ;; the minibuffer.  The URL for each Web site is defined as a static string or
  33 ;; a built-in or custom function, allowing interactive prompting for
  34 ;; site-specific queries and options.
  35
  36 ;; Note that WebJump was originally intended to complement your conventional
  37 ;; browser-based hotlist, not replace it.  (Though there's no reason you
  38 ;; couldn't use WebJump for your entire hotlist if you were so inclined.)
  39
  40 ;; The `webjump-sites' variable, which defines the hotlist, defaults to some
  41 ;; example sites.  You'll probably want to override it with your own favorite
  42 ;; sites.  The documentation for the variable describes the syntax.
  43
  44 ;; You may wish to add something like the following to your `.emacs' file:
  45 ;;
  46 ;;   (load "webjump")
  47 ;;   (global-set-key "\C-cj" 'webjump)
  48 ;;   (setq webjump-sites
  49 ;;         (append '(
  50 ;;                   ("My Home Page" . "www.someisp.net/users/joebobjr/")
  51 ;;                   ("Pop's Site"   . "www.joebob-and-son.com/")
  52 ;;                   )
  53 ;;                 webjump-sample-sites))
  54 ;;
  55 ;; The above loads this package, binds `C-c j' to invoke WebJump, and adds
  56 ;; your personal favorite sites to the hotlist.
  57
  58 ;; The `webjump-sample-sites' constant mostly contains sites that are expected
  59 ;; to be generally useful to Emacs users or that have some sort of query which
  60 ;; can be coded in WebJump.  There are two main goals of this sample site list:
  61 ;; (1) demonstrate WebJump capabilities and usage; (2) provide definitions for
  62 ;; many popular sites so that people don't have to reinvent the wheel.  A few
  63 ;; assorted other sites have been thrown in on a whim.  No commercial sites are
  64 ;; included unless they provide a free, generally-useful service.  Inclusion of
  65 ;; a site does not represent an endorsement.  Please contact the maintainer
  66 ;; with change requests.
  67
  68 ;; The `browse-url' package is used to submit URLs to the browser, so any
  69 ;; browser-specific configuration should be done there.
  70
  71 ;; WebJump inherits a small amount code from my `altavista.el' package, and is
  72 ;; intended to obsolete that package.

 210
 211 The hotlist is represented as an association list, with the CAR of each cell
 212 being the name of the Web site, and the CDR being the definition for the URL of
 213 that site.  The URL definition can be a string (the URL), a vector (specifying
 214 a special \"builtin\" which returns a URL), a symbol (name of a function which
 215 returns a URL), or a list (which when `eval'ed yields a URL).
 216
 217 If the URL definition is a vector, then a \"builtin\" is used.  A builtin has a
 218 Lisp-like syntax, with the name as the first element of the vector, and any
 219 arguments as the following elements.  The three current builtins are `name',
 220 which returns the name of the site as the URL, `simple-query', which
 221 returns a URL that is a function of a query entered by the user, and `mirrors',
 222 which allows the user to select from among multiple mirror sites for the same
 223 content.
 224
 225 The first argument to the `simple-query' builtin is a static URL to use if the
 226 user enters a blank query.  The second and third arguments are the prefix and
 227 suffix, respectively, to add to the encoded query the user enters.  This
 228 builtin covers Web sites that have single-string searches with the query
 229 embedded in the URL.
 230
 231 The arguments to the `mirrors' builtin are URLs of mirror sites.
 232
 233 If the symbol of a function is given, then the function will be called with the
 234 Web site name (the one you specified in the CAR of the alist cell) as a
 235 parameter.  This might come in handy for various kludges.
 236
 237 For convenience, if the `http://', `ftp://', or `file://' prefix is missing
 238 from a URL, WebJump will make a guess at what you wanted and prepend it before
 239 submitting the URL.")
