36 ;;; Commentary:
38 ;; Intercept calls from emacsclient to trigger custom actions.
40 ;; This is done by advising `server-visit-files' to scann the list of filenames
41 ;; for `org-protocol-the-protocol' and sub-procols defined in
42 ;; `org-protocol-protocol-alist' and `org-protocol-protocol-alist-default'.
44 ;; Any application that supports calling external programs with an URL
45 ;; as argument may be used with this functionality.
48 ;; Usage:
49 ;; ------
51 ;; 1.) Add this to your init file (.emacs probably):
53 ;; (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/org-protocol/")
54 ;; (require 'org-protocol)
56 ;; 3.) Ensure emacs-server is up and running.
57 ;; 4.) Try this from the command line (adjust the URL as needed):
59 ;; $ emacsclient \
60 ;; org-protocol://store-link://http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
62 ;; 5.) Optionally add custom sub-protocols and handlers:
64 ;; (setq org-protocol-protocol-alist
65 ;; '(("my-protocol"
66 ;; :protocol "my-protocol"
67 ;; :function my-protocol-handler-fuction)))
69 ;; A "sub-protocol" will be found in URLs like this:
71 ;; org-protocol://sub-protocol://data
73 ;; If it works, you can now setup other applications for using this feature.
76 ;; As of March 2009 Firefox users follow the steps documented on
77 ;; http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol, Opera setup is described here:
78 ;; http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/535/
81 ;; Documentation
82 ;; -------------
84 ;; org-protocol.el comes with and installs handlers to open sources of published
85 ;; online content, store and insert the browser's URLs and cite online content
86 ;; by clicking on a bookmark in Firefox, Opera and probably other browsers and
87 ;; applications:
89 ;; * `org-protocol-open-source' uses the sub-protocol \"open-source\" and maps
90 ;; URLs to local filenames defined in `org-protocol-project-alist'.
92 ;; * `org-protocol-store-link' stores an Org-link (if Org-mode is present) and
93 ;; pushes the browsers URL to the `kill-ring' for yanking. This handler is
94 ;; triggered through the sub-protocol \"store-link\".
96 ;; * Call `org-protocol-remember' by using the sub-protocol \"remember\". If
97 ;; Org-mode is loaded, emacs will popup a remember buffer and fill the
98 ;; template with the data provided. I.e. the browser's URL is inserted as an
99 ;; Org-link of which the page title will be the description part. If text
100 ;; was select in the browser, that text will be the body of the entry.
102 ;; You may use the same bookmark URL for all those standard handlers and just
103 ;; adjust the sub-protocol used:
105 ;; location.href='org-protocol://sub-protocol://'+
106 ;; encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'/'+
107 ;; encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'/'+
108 ;; encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())
110 ;; The handler for the sub-protocol \"remember\" detects an optional template
111 ;; char that, if present, triggers the use of a special template.
112 ;; Example:
114 ;; location.href='org-protocol://sub-protocol://x/'+ ...
116 ;; use template ?x.
118 ;; Note, that using double shlashes is optional from org-protocol.el's point of
119 ;; view because emacsclient sqashes the slashes to one.

221 protocol - protocol to detect in a filename without trailing colon and slashes.
222 See rfc1738 section 2.1 for more on this.
223 If you define a protocol \"my-protocol\", `org-protocol-check-filename-for-protocol'
224 will search filenames for \"org-protocol:/my-protocol:/\"
225 and trigger your action for every match. `org-protocol' is defined in
226 `org-protocol-the-protocol'. Double and tripple slashes are compressed
227 to one by emacsclient.
229 function - function that handles requests with protocol and takes exactly one
230 argument: the filename with all protocols stripped. If the function
231 returns nil, emacsclient and -server do nothing. Any non-nil return
232 value is considered a valid filename and thus passed to the server.
234 `org-protocol.el provides some support for handling those filenames,
235 if you stay with the conventions used for the standard handlers in
236 `org-protocol-protocol-alist-default'. See `org-protocol-split-data'.
