31 ;; Intercept calls from emacsclient to trigger custom actions.
33 ;; This is done by advising `server-visit-files' to scan the list of filenames
34 ;; for `org-protocol-the-protocol' and sub-protocols defined in
35 ;; `org-protocol-protocol-alist' and `org-protocol-protocol-alist-default'.
37 ;; Any application that supports calling external programs with an URL
38 ;; as argument may be used with this functionality.
44 ;; 1.) Add this to your init file (.emacs probably):
46 ;; (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/org-protocol/")
47 ;; (require 'org-protocol)
49 ;; 3.) Ensure emacs-server is up and running.
50 ;; 4.) Try this from the command line (adjust the URL as needed):
53 ;; org-protocol://store-link://http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
55 ;; 5.) Optionally add custom sub-protocols and handlers:
57 ;; (setq org-protocol-protocol-alist
59 ;; :protocol "my-protocol"
60 ;; :function my-protocol-handler-function)))
62 ;; A "sub-protocol" will be found in URLs like this:
64 ;; org-protocol://sub-protocol://data
66 ;; If it works, you can now setup other applications for using this feature.
69 ;; As of March 2009 Firefox users follow the steps documented on
70 ;; http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol, Opera setup is described here:
71 ;; http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/535/
77 ;; org-protocol.el comes with and installs handlers to open sources of published
78 ;; online content, store and insert the browser's URLs and cite online content
79 ;; by clicking on a bookmark in Firefox, Opera and probably other browsers and
82 ;; * `org-protocol-open-source' uses the sub-protocol \"open-source\" and maps
83 ;; URLs to local filenames defined in `org-protocol-project-alist'.
85 ;; * `org-protocol-store-link' stores an Org-link (if Org-mode is present) and
86 ;; pushes the browsers URL to the `kill-ring' for yanking. This handler is
87 ;; triggered through the sub-protocol \"store-link\".
89 ;; * Call `org-protocol-capture' by using the sub-protocol \"capture\". If
90 ;; Org-mode is loaded, Emacs will pop-up a capture buffer and fill the
91 ;; template with the data provided. I.e. the browser's URL is inserted as an
92 ;; Org-link of which the page title will be the description part. If text
93 ;; was select in the browser, that text will be the body of the entry.
95 ;; * Call `org-protocol-remember' by using the sub-protocol \"remember\".
96 ;; This is provided for backward compatibility.
97 ;; You may read `org-capture' as `org-remember' throughout this file if
98 ;; you still use `org-remember'.
100 ;; You may use the same bookmark URL for all those standard handlers and just
101 ;; adjust the sub-protocol used:
103 ;; location.href='org-protocol://sub-protocol://'+
104 ;; encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'/'+
105 ;; encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'/'+
106 ;; encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())
108 ;; The handler for the sub-protocol \"capture\" detects an optional template
109 ;; char that, if present, triggers the use of a special template.
112 ;; location.href='org-protocol://sub-protocol://x/'+ ...
116 ;; Note, that using double slashes is optional from org-protocol.el's point of
117 ;; view because emacsclient squashes the slashes to one.

235 protocol - protocol to detect in a filename without trailing colon and slashes.
236 See rfc1738 section 2.1 for more on this.
237 If you define a protocol \"my-protocol\", `org-protocol-check-filename-for-protocol'
238 will search filenames for \"org-protocol:/my-protocol:/\"
239 and trigger your action for every match. `org-protocol' is defined in
240 `org-protocol-the-protocol'. Double and triple slashes are compressed
241 to one by emacsclient.
243 function - function that handles requests with protocol and takes exactly one
244 argument: the filename with all protocols stripped. If the function
245 returns nil, emacsclient and -server do nothing. Any non-nil return
246 value is considered a valid filename and thus passed to the server.
248 `org-protocol.el provides some support for handling those filenames,
249 if you stay with the conventions used for the standard handlers in
250 `org-protocol-protocol-alist-default'. See `org-protocol-split-data'.
252 kill-client - If t, kill the client immediately, once the sub-protocol is
253 detected. This is necessary for actions that can be interrupted by
254 `C-g' to avoid dangling emacsclients. Note, that all other command
255 line arguments but the this one will be discarded, greedy handlers
256 still receive the whole list of arguments though.
