+
+<p>Notes-mode is an indexing system for on-line note-taking.
+Notes-mode is composed of two parts, the visible part,
+a major-mode for emacs to aid note-taking;
+and the invisible part,
+scripts which periodically index your notes for you.
+</p>
+<p>Note that notes-mode provides tools to <em>index</em> your notes,
+not to <em>search</em> them.
+(Other existing tools such as &lsquo;<tt>grep</tt>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<tt>agrep</tt>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<tt>glimpse</tt>&rsquo;
+already allow file search.)
+</p>
+<p>A digression about indexing vs. searching:
+Indexing in this sense means
+organize them according to categories you give,
+while searching looks through all text for arbitrary strings.
+Drawing on the World Wide Web for examples,
+Yahoo (&lsquo;<tt>http://www.yahoo.com/</tt>&rsquo;) is an index,
+while Alta Vista (&lsquo;<tt>http://www.altavista.digital.com/</tt>&rsquo;)
+is a search-engine.
+In (potentially) more familiar terms,
+the yellow pages
+<a name="DOCF1" href="#FOOT1">(1)</a>
+are an index,
+while directory information (411 in the USA)
+is sort of a search-engine.

+
+<p>So why should you use notes-mode?
+Well, first, consider why you should (perhaps)
+keep your notes on line.
+First,
+I assume that you take notes as part of your work or school.
+If you don&rsquo;t,
+you can stop reading now and go back to watching TV.
+</p>
+<p>If you keep notes, ask yourself why you keep them.
+Reasons vary for different people, but some include:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+To remember what is said or done.
+
+</li><li>
+To focus on what is important about what is said.
+
+</li><li>
+To provide proof of having done something
+at a particular time or date.
+
+</li><li>
+I know there were other reasons here,
+but they slipped my mind.

+<h2 class="section">1.3 Why keep notes on-line?</h2>
+
+<p>OK, I&rsquo;ve talked you into keeping notes.
+Why do it on-line?
+Again, there are different reasons for different people.
+If you don&rsquo;t want to consider keeping your notes on-line,
+you&rsquo;re welcome to go back to your (clay tablets)
+paper notes.
+</p>
+<p>However, if you do much of your work on-line,
+or if you have portable computer,
+then you might want to consider keeping your notes on-line.
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+It&rsquo;s faster to type than write,
+and possibly more legible at high speed.
+
+</li><li>
+Often information is already on-line.
+For example, in software development, bug reports,
+measurement results, and everything else that&rsquo;s useful
+is on-line.
+
+</li><li>
+You can take down more detail than you otherwise would
+(especially if the data is already on-line).
+Taking more copious notes can be helpful when you go back
+to figure out why that strange thing was happening.
+
+</li><li>
+On-line notes are easy to search.
+Full-text search with 
+grep, agrep, and glimpse are all much faster
+and are often more accurate than paging through paper notes
+looking for a particular keyword.
+
+</li><li>
+On-line notes are easy to index.
+(At least with notes-mode!)
+In addition to full-text search,
+it&rsquo;s helpful to organize notes by category.
+If you keep a table-of-contents of your paper notes,
+you are either extremely fastidious
+or a librarian (Nadia?).
+
+</li><li>
+You can keep all of your notes with you at all times
+(if you have a portable computer).
+Even at a page a day,
+paper notes quickly become bulky and awkward to carry around.
+On-line notes fit on your computer&rsquo;s hard disk,
+an extraordinarily compact medium
+by comparison.
+
+</li><li>
+Your notes can be automatically backed up.
+Paper notes can become damaged with time,
+and as a graduate student
+one of my fears was fire in Boelter Hall
+consuming all my research experiments
+and and therefore hopes of a degree.
+Electronic notes are extremely easy to duplicate
+and can be automatically backed up with the rest of your computer.
+(You <em>do</em> back up your computer, don&rsquo;t you?)
+
+</li></ul>
+
+<p>While these advantages are undoubtedly clear to any
+right-thinking computer user,
+it should be said that there are a few disadvantages 
+for on-line note-taking.
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+If you don&rsquo;t have a computer with you most of the time,
+it&rsquo;s difficult take notes on-line (because you&rsquo;re off-line, of course).
+<a name="DOCF2" href="#FOOT2">(2)</a>
+
+</li><li>
+Computers require power.
+If your portable computer runs out of juice,
+you&rsquo;re on your own.
+Corollary:  watch your power, or bring paper.
+Better corollary:  watch your power, <em>and</em> bring paper.
+
+</li><li>
+Social limitations.
+It&rsquo;s not always socially acceptable to take notes-on-line.
+For example,
+at a party,
+few people would use a computer
+to take down the phone number of a person
+to whom they&rsquo;re attracted
+(at least, if they wanted the attraction to be mutual).
+<a name="DOCF3" href="#FOOT3">(3)</a>
+Sometimes other people find the sound of typing distracting.
+
+</li><li>
+Health issues.
+Repetitive stress injuries do occur
+writing (slower) by hand is at least 
+an alternate motion than typing.
+
+</li><li>
+Legal limitations.
+If you want to use your electronic notes
+to justify a patent or invention,
+you may be breaking legal ground.
+Being on the legal cutting-edge is rarely an easy thing
+for the person involved.<a name="DOCF4" href="#FOOT4">(4)</a>

+
+<p>OK, I&rsquo;ve sold you on note-taking and even on on-line note-taking.
+What about notes-mode?
+Naturally,
+it slices, dices, and makes julienne fries.
+But wait, there&rsquo;s more:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+It automates indexing your notes,
+linking notes with the same subject together.
+
+</li><li>
+It supports embedded links,
+allowing you to manually link together different topics 
+and external files.
+
+</li><li>
+It includes a number of convenience-features in emacs.
+Subjects can be completed based on existing subjects.
+The usual emacs customization mechanisms are available.
+
+</li><li>
+Notes containing sensitive information can be encrypted.
+
+</li><li>
+Notes-mode seems better than the other, currently available alternatives.
+</li></ul>
+
+<p>What are the alternatives?  I&rsquo;m glad you asked.
+<a name="DOCF5" href="#FOOT5">(5)</a>
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<strong>HTML</strong>.
+HTML has better formatting capabilities than notes-mode,
+and it has excellent linking capabilities.
+Unfortunately,
+HTML&rsquo;s tags are fairly intrusive
+ (each is at least four characters long and most come with a pair),
+ tags can get confused with normal text,
+ errors in HTML can be bad (obscuring data),
+ and there&rsquo;s no automatic indexing feature
+ (at least with plain HTML).
+Besides,
+ all data should be kept as close to the ASCII from whence it came,
+ as God Intended (hi, Steve).
+
+</li><li>
+<strong>Word Processors</strong>.
+Word processors are strong in the formatting department,
+ but most don&rsquo;t really have linking capabilities,
+ and have poor or restricted indexing.

+<p>Notes mode uses dates extensively,
+ both two-digit years and seconds-since-1970.
+However, notes-mode has been coded to function correctly through
+ the year 2038.
+</p>
+<p>To avoid problems with the year 2000, notes-mode assumes
+ that any two-digit years before &ldquo;70&rdquo; are 20xx, not 19xx.
+Notes-mode should therefore work correctly in both the year 1999 and 2000.
+</p>
+<p>(Notes-mode 1.17 released February 1999 fixes a lingering Y2K problem.)
+</p>
+<p>Because notes-mode uses seconds-since-1970 for some date calculations
+ it will fail beyond the year 2038 on computers with 32-bit integers.

+<p>Notes-mode is not related in any way to Lotus Notes.
+</p>
+<p>I am told (by David Weisman)
+ that it&rsquo;s something like the now defunct Lotus Agenda.
+</p>
+<p>Ashvin Goel, one of the contributors to notes-mode,
+ has gone off and done a from-scratch reimplementation
+ called records-mode.
+It&rsquo;s very similar to notes mode,
+ and emphasizes on-the-fly updates to entry links
+ but lacks a manual.
+You may want to check it out at
+ &lsquo;<tt>http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~ashvin/software.html</tt>&rsquo;.
+</p>
+<p>Hyperbole (by Bob Weiner) offers better linking facilities
+than notes-mode, but it has a bunch of stuff notes-mode doesn&rsquo;t need
+and it&rsquo;s missing notes-specific indexing provided by notes-mode.
+For people already using Hyperbole
+ it would be interesting to replace notes-mode&rsquo;s linking
+ with Hyperbole&rsquo;s.
+Contributions in this area are welcome, provided they make Hyperbole

+<a name="index-Notes-subjects"></a>
+<a name="index-RTN"></a>
+<a name="index-TAB"></a>
+</p>
+<p>Following the subject may be links.
+(In the example, the &ldquo;Today&rdquo; entry has links,
+ the &ldquo;Environment/notes&rdquo; entry doesn&rsquo;t.)
+These links will be automatically updated by notes-mode
+ when your notes are re-indexed;
+ just leave a blank line when writing the note.
+<a name="index-Notes-links"></a>
+</p>
+<p>Links are made with pseudo-URLs,
+ sort of like those in the World Wide Web. 
+Any of these URLs can be followed in notes-mode files
+ by clicking <kbd>S-mouse-2</kbd> on the pseudo-URL
+ (<code>notes-w3-follow-link-mouse</code>).
+<a name="index-Pseudo_002dURLs"></a>
+<a name="index-URLs"></a>
+<a name="index-S_002dmouse_002d2"></a>
+</p>
+<p>Finally comes the text.
+Go wild, but just don&rsquo;t include text that looks like a subject.
+You can embed pseudo-URLs to link notes together manually.
+</p>
+<p>The more anal of you may have noticed
+ that the lines before the first subject
+ are not part of any entry.
+These lines are
+ <em>front matter</em>.
+They&rsquo;re not usually used for much,
+ but they can be a good place to label the file.
+<a name="index-Notes-files_002c-font-matter"></a>
+<a name="index-Font-matter"></a>
+</p>
+<p>There are a number of useful conventions
+ that can be adopted to organize your notes.
+The most common is the &ldquo;Today&rdquo; entry.
+If you keep an entry with the same subject
+ at the beginning of each file,
+ you link all of your notes together.
+Notes-mode will help you out with some of these convetions
+ by automatically creating or copying some fields for you;
+ see see section <a href="#Useful-conventions">Useful conventions</a> for details.
+</p>
+<p>Finally, notes-mode can also work with outline-minor-mode
+ (thanks to Tim Carroll for pointing this out).
+Outline-mode supports hiding and revealing text and other helpful
+ features beyond the scope of this document.
+See <a href="emacs.html#Outline-Mode">Outline Mode: (emacs)Outline Mode</a> section &lsquo;Outline Mode&rsquo; in <cite>The Emacs Editor</cite>, for details.

+<p>The top level, &lsquo;<tt>~/NOTES</tt>&rsquo;, is the notes directory.

+(The name of this directory is configurable, See section <a href="#Notes_002dmode-configuration">Notes-mode configuration</a>.)
+</p>
+<p>Inside the notes directory are two files and a number of directories.
+The files are &lsquo;<tt>index</tt>&rsquo;,
+ the index of all entries (see section <a href="#The-notes-index">The notes index</a>),
+ and &lsquo;<tt>rawindex</tt>&rsquo;,
+ used internally.
+<a name="index-Root-directory"></a>
+</p>
+<p>The notes directory also contains a number of subdirectories,
+ sometimes called <em>intermediate directories</em>.
+These directories group the actual notes files into manageable chunks,
+ keeping any directory from getting too large.
+Intermediate directories are named
+ by the four-digit year and the two-digit month
+ of the entries they contain.
+(The format of intermediate directories
+ is configurable, See section <a href="#Notes_002dmode-configuration">Notes-mode configuration</a>.)

+<p>For the most part,

+Notes-mode will also automatically insure
+ that all files in the notes directory are unreadable by

+<h3 class="subsection">3.1.4 Useful conventions</h3>
+
+
+<a name="index-conventions"></a>
+<a name="index-mknew"></a>
+
+<p>There are a number of conventions which can make notes-mode
+ easier to use.
+These conventions are a matter of personal taste,
+ of course.
+Do what works for you.
+</p>
+<p>First,
+ I find it helpful to keep the date of each notes-file at the top
+ of the file.
+This makes the file self-identifying
+ if the filename is lost.
+</p>
+<p>Second,
+ I find it useful to have the first entry of each file
+ have the same subject (perhaps &ldquo;Today&rdquo;).
+This entry then links all notes together,
+ making it easy to go to yesterday and tomorrow.
+I keep a to-do list on this entry,
+ bringing the list forward each day.
+<a name="index-Today"></a>
+</p>
+<p>A third useful convention is to keep an
+ entry with the name based on the day of the week
+ in each file.
+Analogous to &ldquo;Today&rdquo;, this entry links together
+ weeks.
+</p>
+<p>Notes-mode supports these conventions.
+When you make a new notes-file in emacs,
+ notes-mode searches for the preceding file.
+If it follows any of these conventions,
+ the new file is initialized appropriately.
+Currently
+ the approach to do this process
+ (in the program &lsquo;<tt>mknew</tt>&rsquo;)
+ is fairly sensitive,
+ so it may not work in all cases.
+In particular,
+ the date convention works only on
+ for English-language dates.
+(If you use notes-mode with a non-English language,
+ let me know and I&rsquo;ll work with you to fix this limitation.)
+</p>
+<p>If you find other helpful conventions,
+ please let me know.
+Modifications to &lsquo;<tt>mknew</tt>&rsquo; to implement
+ new conventions are also invited.
+</p>
+<p>If you don&rsquo;t want to use these conventions,
+ or if you want to use different ones,
+ set the emacs variable notes-mode-initialization-program
+ to nil or the name of your initialization program.

+
+<p>Briefly,
+ I started keeping notes on-line shortly after I got a portable computer
+ in January, 1994.
+After a month-and-a-half of notes, I realized that
+ one does not live by grep alone,
+ so I started adding indexing facilities.
+</p>
+<p>In June of 1995
+ some other Ficus-project members started
+ keeping and indexing on-line notes
+ using other home-grown systems.
+After some discussion,
+ we generalized my notes-mode work and
+ they started using it.
+</p>
+<p>Over the next 18 months notes-mode grew.
+Finally, in April, 1996 I wrote documentation,
+ guaranteeing that innovation on notes-mode will now cease
+ or the documentation will become out of date.

+<h2 class="section">4.3 Changes</h2>
+
+<p>For the bored:
+</p>
+<p>First semi-public release. 12-Jul-95: version 0.1
+ Shared a version with Ashvin and Geoff.
+</p>
+<p>Changed  6-Dec-95: version 0.3
+ Ashvin&rsquo;s changes for note traversal added (C-c C-p and C-c C-n now
+move to the prev/next note in note-mode).
+ URL parsing changed so that &quot;localhost&quot; is optional.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 19-Dec-95:  version 0.4
+ More robust prev/next code added, both to handle going back and
+forward in the middle of chains through the index file, and to handle
+back/forward in a single file.
+ URL parsing changed so that notes-goto-index-entry correctly handles
+lookups on notes names such as &quot;252A&quot;.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 20-Dec-95: version 0.5.
+ Fixed a missing variable in notes-url.el.
+ Added a work-around to a bug in emacs-19.30&rsquo;s define-derived-mode.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 24-Dec-95: version 0.6.
+ Prev/next code re-re-written to be more robust.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 26-Dec-96:  version 0.7.
+ Bug fix release.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 23-Jan-96: version 0.8.
+ Initialization code added to set up a new note.
+New variable:  notes-bin-dir.
+</p>
+<p> I&rsquo;m skipping version 0.9 because I erroneously release version 0.1
+as version 0.9 (only on the web, not on Usenet).
+</p>
+<p> I&rsquo;m bumping from version &quot;0&quot; to version &quot;1&quot; since the code is has been
+in production use for more than a year by several people.  Minor
+numbers are the same.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 26-Mar-96: version 1.10.
+ Setup code completely re-written.
+ Several incompatible changes have been made:
+ - the lisp and Perl code must be installed via make install,
+not by copying.
+ - some data is specified in a .notesrc file; copy and modify sample.notesrc.
+ - several internal elisp changes.
+ - catsubject added (bound to C-cC-s):  collect all notes about the
+current subject.
+ - new notes-files are initialized with fields based on the prior
+day&rsquo;s notes; see mknew for details.
+ - daily_work is gone; mkall is rewritten to use .notesrc.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 29-Apr-96: version 1.11.
+ Real documentation.
+ Mknew caching added.
+</p>
+<p>Changed  9-Aug-96: version 1.12.
+ Added notesinit to do all setup for new users.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 24-Aug-96: version 1.13.
+ Minor documentation fixes.
+</p>
+<p>Changed 20-Dec-97: version 1.14.
+Autoconf support.
+</p>
+<p>Fontification of the index buffer is now pre-computed in perl
+other than done when the file is needed (in elisp with slow regular
+expressions).  2000-line index files are now 1-2 seconds rather than
+15-30 on a 100MHz Pentium.  If necessary (the
+pre-computed version isn&rsquo;t up-to-date) we fall back on the slower
+code.
+</p>
+<p>Related work improved (suggestion by David Weisman &lt;weisman@app1.osf.org&gt;).
+</p>
+<p>Documentation improvement (problem found by Martin L. Smith
+&lt;martin@ner.com&gt;).
+</p>
+<p>Installation improved (code by Jason Bastek &lt;jason@aai.com&gt;).
+</p>
+<p>Bug in notes-index mode with subjects containing colons fixed (johnh).
+</p>
+<p>Encryption now supports mailcrypt.el.
+</p>
+<p>Support for emacs 20 (a small font-lock change).
+</p>
+<p>Changed  5-Jan-98: version 1.15.
+Bug in decryption for non-PAM users fixed
+ (suggestion by Kevin Davidson &lt;tkld@quadstone.com&gt;).
+</p>
+<p>Y2K statement added
+ (suggestion by Kevin Davidson &lt;tkld@quadstone.com&gt;).
+</p>
+<p>Pointer to mailcrypt added (as a supported encryption package).
+Problem pointed out by K. Ueda &lt;kueda@jupiter.qse.tohoku.ac.jp&gt;.
+</p>
+<p>Changed  4-Nov-98: version 1.16.
+Bug in kill-ring handling of notes-old-underline-line
+ fixed by Tim Potter &lt;timp@jna.com.au&gt;.
+Bug in whitespace handling after PGP encryption fixed by Tim Potter.
+Bugs in handling of entries with hash signs in their name fixed
+ (found by Tim Potter).
+Fontification of index buffer further improved
+ (mapcar is your friend).
+Xemacs support added based on code contributed by Ramesh Govindan.
+</p>

+Improvement:  notes-electric-return now fixes up the prev/next links
+ of new entries (only).  Code contributed by
+ Takashi Nishimoto.
+</p>
+<p>Bug fix:  reversed options -batch and -q in configure.in to placate
+ XEmacs 20.0; changed notesinit to not downcase the pathname
+ (bugs found by Thierry Bezecourt).
+</p>
+<p>Clarification: Autofilling of new notes more clear in the manual (hopefully,
+ suggested by Solofo Ramangalahy).
+</p>
+<p>Bug fix:  a y2k bug in was found and fixed in mkindex.  Sigh.
+</p>
+<p>New:  Two mailing lists for notes-mode have been created:
+&lsquo;<tt>notes-mode-announce@heidemann.la.ca.us</tt>&rsquo; and 
+&lsquo;<tt>notes-mode-talk@heidemann.la.ca.us</tt>&rsquo;.

+</p>
+<p>Changed  6-Oct-99: version 1.18:
+Bug fix:  handling of electric-prevnext is better when there are
+ existing prev/next links.
+</p> 
+<p>Clarification: I added some pointers in the code to the installation
+ instructions.  (Apparently people can&rsquo;t RTF README.)
+</p>
+<p>Extension: mailcrypt-3.5.x suported including pgp, pgp5 and gpg.
+</p>
+<p>Changed (date 23-Dec-00): version 1.19:
+Bug fix (cosmetic): suppress comments in encrypted nodes.
+</p>
+<p>Install fixes from Kannan Varadhan: elisp directories changed on install.
+</p>
+<p>Added C-j as a synonym for RET in notes-mode to parallel C++ or perl mode.
+(Suggested by Fred Jaggi &lsquo;<tt>jaggi@rsn.hp.com</tt>&rsquo;.)
+</p>
+<p>Outline-minor-mode support added and documented.
+(Suggested by Tim Carroll &lsquo;<tt>tim@boomboom.com</tt>&rsquo;.)
+</p>
+<p>Bug/typo fixes in gpg support
+(Contributed by William A. Perkins &lsquo;<tt>wa_perkins@pnl.gov</tt>&rsquo;,
+with separate patches from Knut Anders Hatlen &lsquo;<tt>kahatlen@online.no</tt>&rsquo;.)

+(Bug found by Michael Totschnig &lsquo;<tt>michaelt@supernet.ca</tt>&rsquo;.)
+</p>
+<p>Changed ( 5-Dec-01): version 1.21:
+(backed-out&mdash;didn&rsquo;t work with spaced URLs) 
+URL lookup now uses thing-at-point.
+</p>
+<p>Fix to make notes-mode work with emacs-21.1
+(Fix from Klaus Zeitler  &lsquo;<tt>kzeitler@lucent.com</tt>&rsquo;.)
+</p>
+<p>Changed ( 3-Jan-02): version 1.22:
+Several bugs in &lsquo;<tt>notesinit</tt>&rsquo; for stricter Perl implementations
+(bug found by Paul Craven&quot; &lsquo;<tt>pcraven@yorku.ca</tt>&rsquo;,
+and Kasper van Wijk &lsquo;<tt>kasper@acoustics.mines.edu</tt>&rsquo;)
+and to make it run cleanly more often.
+</p>
+<p>Notes-first now autoinitializes notes mode from emacs.
+(As instisted by rms, unfortunately about two years later than requested.)
+</p>
+

+Outline mode is now forcebly turned on to avoid interactions
+with user&rsquo;s text-mode hooks

+<p>Fix obscure bug in configure, reported by Klaus Zeitler &lsquo;<tt>kzeitler@lucent.com</tt>&rsquo;.
+</p>
+<p>Fix for notes-summarize-subject when no subject is specified (bug and fix
+from Geoff Kuenning).
+</p>
+<p>Changed (14-Jan-06): version 1.24:
+</p>
+<p>install-info bug documented with the Debian install-info
+(bug reported by Aaron Falk &lsquo;<tt>falk@isi.edu</tt>&rsquo;).
+</p>
+<p>Automatic date completion in new days is now done in the current
+locale, so it should now work for non-English languages.  Bug reported
+by Torsten Bronger &lsquo;<tt>bronger@physik.rwth-aachen.de</tt>&rsquo;.
+</p>
+<p>Fixed a bug in mkindexcache, triggered by subjects with percent signs
+in them.  Bug reported by Philip Austin &lsquo;<tt>paustin@eos.ubc.ca</tt>&rsquo;.
+</p>
+<p>We&rsquo;re a bit more robust about subjects, I hope.  Warnings should
+appear about embedded number signs, and leading spaces should be
+filtered.  Bug reported by Philip Austin &lsquo;<tt>paustin@eos.ubc.ca</tt>&rsquo;.
+</p>
+<p>Notes-mode now dervies from indented-text-mode rather than
+paragraph-indent-text mode.  Unfortunatley this is not customizable
+because of limitations of define-derived-mode.  Change suggested by
+Aaron Falk &lsquo;<tt>falk@isi.edu</tt>&rsquo;.
+</p>
+<p>Provide better hints about how to get started after installation or
+running notes-mode in emacs for the first time.
+</p>
+<p>In notes init, the default path for dir was the full path, not the tilde
+version of the path.  Now it defaults to using tidle for home
+directory.  Bug reported by Mark Allman &lsquo;<tt>allman@icir.org</tt>&rsquo;.
+</p>
+<p>Changed (26-May-06): version 1.25:
+</p>
+<p>fixed a bug in the release tar.gz file that had a additional copies
+copy nested.
+</p>
+<p>Changed (30-Jun-08): version 1.26:
+</p>
+<p>Force unicode I/O in &lsquo;<tt>mkindexcache</tt>&rsquo; to fix highlighting mis-alignment
+when using emacs-21 with unicode subject lines.
+</p>
+<p>Changed mkprevnext and mkrawindex to optionally take the list of notes files
+to index from stdin rather than from the command line.  Yes, I finally
+have 4093 notes files, overflowing the Unix command line buffer.
+</p>
+<p>Changes notes-mode.el to put path in quotes, allowing spaces to appear in home directory names (bug fix from Ulrich Herbst).
+</p>
+<p>Added a suggested features section.
+</p>
+<p>Changed ( 8-Aug-08): version 1.27:
+</p>
+<p>Change I/O in &lsquo;<tt>mkindexcache</tt>&rsquo; to use locale (the sadly correct thing)
+rather than forcing utf-8 (the Righteous Path).
+Bug report from Geoff Kuenning, a man with an older Unix environment than I.
+</p>
+<p>Changed (20-Jun-10): version 1.28:
+</p>
+<p>Changed a regular expression in &lsquo;<tt>notes-index-mode.el</tt>&rsquo; that was 
+causing emacs-v23 (a pre-release version)
+to regular expression infinite recursion.
+</p>
+<p>Changed (2012-04-04): version 1.29
+</p>
+<p>(2011-08-23) Changed <code>run-hooks</code> to <code>run-mode-hooks</code>.
+Bug report from Geoff Kuenning.
+</p>
+<p>Changed some handling of PGP encryption to account for 
+some apparent API changes.
+</p>
+<p>(2012-04-04) Fixed encyrption to handle encrypting empty notes at the end 
+of buffers without going into an infinite loop.
+Clearly wrong code, but you have to ask this guy for why he tried:
+Bug report from Geoff Kuenning.

+<p>Trademarked, in Great Britain, Sunone tells me.
+</p><h3><a name="FOOT2" href="#DOCF2">(2)</a></h3>
+<p>I consider myself pretty anal about this subject,
+often typing notes in from paper after-the-fact,
+and <em>I</em> certainly don&rsquo;t manage to back-enter
+my notes all time time.
+</p><h3><a name="FOOT3" href="#DOCF3">(3)</a></h3>
+
+<p>On the other hand, some folks at MIT are working
+on this problem from both the hardware and the social side of
+things (&lsquo;<tt>http://wearables.www.media.mit.edu/projects/wearables/</tt>&rsquo;)
+(Perhaps they have wild parties with computers, too.)
+</p><h3><a name="FOOT4" href="#DOCF4">(4)</a></h3>
+<p>My hat is off to Rosa Parks
+and the many other normal people who triggered landmark cases.
+</p><h3><a name="FOOT5" href="#DOCF5">(5)</a></h3>
+<p>If you think I&rsquo;m missing an alternative, please let me know.
