28 ;;; Commentary:
30 ;; This package provides functions which read a URL (Uniform Resource
31 ;; Locator) from the minibuffer, defaulting to the URL around point,
32 ;; and ask a World-Wide Web browser to load it. It can also load the
33 ;; URL associated with the current buffer. Different browsers use
34 ;; different methods of remote control so there is one function for
35 ;; each supported browser. If the chosen browser is not running, it
36 ;; is started. Currently there is support for the following browsers,
37 ;; some of them probably now obsolete:
39 ;; Function Browser Earliest version

41 ;; browse-url-firefox Firefox Don't know (tried with 1.0.1)

59 ;; [A version of the Netscape browser is now free software
60 ;; <URL:http://www.mozilla.org/>, albeit not GPLed, so it is
61 ;; reasonable to have that as the default.]
63 ;; Note that versions of Netscape before 1.1b1 did not have remote
64 ;; control. <URL:http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html>.
66 ;; Browsers can cache Web pages so it may be necessary to tell them to
67 ;; reload the current page if it has changed (e.g. if you have edited
68 ;; it). There is currently no perfect automatic solution to this.
70 ;; Netscape allows you to specify the id of the window you want to
71 ;; control but which window DO you want to control and how do you
72 ;; discover its id?
74 ;; William M. Perry's excellent "w3" WWW browser for
75 ;; Emacs <URL:ftp://cs.indiana.edu/pub/elisp/w3/>
76 ;; has a function w3-follow-url-at-point, but that
77 ;; doesn't let you edit the URL like browse-url.
78 ;; The `gnuserv' package that can be used to control it in another
79 ;; Emacs process is available from
80 ;; <URL:ftp://ftp.splode.com/pub/users/friedman/packages/>.
82 ;; Grail is the freely available WWW browser implemented in Python, a
83 ;; cool object-oriented freely available interpreted language. Grail
84 ;; 0.3b1 was the first version to have remote control as distributed.
85 ;; For more information on Grail see
86 ;; <URL:http://grail.cnri.reston.va.us/> and for more information on
87 ;; Python see <url:http://www.python.org/>. Grail support in
88 ;; browse-url.el written by Barry Warsaw <bwarsaw@python.org>.
90 ;; Lynx is now distributed by the FSF. See also
91 ;; <URL:http://lynx.browser.org/>.
93 ;; Free graphical browsers that could be used by `browse-url-generic'
94 ;; include Chimera <URL:ftp://ftp.cs.unlv.edu/pub/chimera> and
95 ;; <URL:http://www.unlv.edu/chimera/>, Arena
96 ;; <URL:ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/pub/dist/web/arena> and Amaya
97 ;; <URL:ftp://ftp.w3.org/pub/amaya>. mMosaic
98 ;; <URL:ftp://ftp.enst.fr/pub/mbone/mMosaic/>,
99 ;; <URL:http://www.enst.fr/~dauphin/mMosaic/> (with development
100 ;; support for Java applets and multicast) can be used like Mosaic by
101 ;; setting `browse-url-mosaic-program' appropriately.
103 ;; I [Denis Howe, not Dave Love] recommend Nelson Minar
104 ;; <nelson@santafe.edu>'s excellent html-helper-mode.el for editing
105 ;; HTML and thank Nelson for his many useful comments on this code.
106 ;; <URL:http://www.santafe.edu/%7Enelson/hhm-beta/>
108 ;; See also hm--html-menus <URL:http://www.tnt.uni-hannover.de/%7Emuenkel/
109 ;; software/own/hm--html-menus/>. For composing correct HTML see also
110 ;; PSGML the general SGML structure editor package
111 ;; <URL:ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/sgml>; hm--html-menus can be used
112 ;; with this.
114 ;; This package generalises function html-previewer-process in Marc
115 ;; Andreessen's html-mode (LCD modes/html-mode.el.Z). See also the
116 ;; ffap.el package. The huge hyperbole package also contains similar
117 ;; functions.

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