;;; Commentary:

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

;; Function                           Browser     Earliest version
;; browse-url-mozilla                 Mozilla     Don't know
;; browse-url-galeon                  Galeon      Don't know

;; browse-url-iximosaic               IXI Mosaic  ?

;; browse-url-mmm                     MMM         ?
;; browse-url-generic                 arbitrary
;; browse-url-default-windows-browser MS-Windows browser

;; [A version of the Netscape browser is now free software
;; <URL:http://www.mozilla.org/>, albeit not GPLed, so it is
;; reasonable to have that as the default.]

;; Note that versions of Netscape before 1.1b1 did not have remote
;; control.  <URL:http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html>.

;; Browsers can cache Web pages so it may be necessary to tell them to
;; reload the current page if it has changed (e.g. if you have edited
;; it).  There is currently no perfect automatic solution to this.

;; Netscape allows you to specify the id of the window you want to
;; control but which window DO you want to control and how do you
;; discover its id?

;; William M. Perry's excellent "w3" WWW browser for
;; Emacs <URL:ftp://cs.indiana.edu/pub/elisp/w3/>
;; has a function w3-follow-url-at-point, but that
;; doesn't let you edit the URL like browse-url.
;; The `gnuserv' package that can be used to control it in another
;; Emacs process is available from
;; <URL:ftp://ftp.splode.com/pub/users/friedman/packages/>.

;; Grail is the freely available WWW browser implemented in Python, a
;; cool object-oriented freely available interpreted language.  Grail
;; 0.3b1 was the first version to have remote control as distributed.
;; For more information on Grail see
;; <URL:http://grail.cnri.reston.va.us/> and for more information on
;; Python see <url:http://www.python.org/>.  Grail support in
;; browse-url.el written by Barry Warsaw <bwarsaw@python.org>.

;; Lynx is now distributed by the FSF.  See also
;; <URL:http://lynx.browser.org/>.

;; Free graphical browsers that could be used by `browse-url-generic'
;; include Chimera <URL:ftp://ftp.cs.unlv.edu/pub/chimera> and
;; <URL:http://www.unlv.edu/chimera/>, Arena
;; <URL:ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/pub/dist/web/arena> and Amaya
;; <URL:ftp://ftp.w3.org/pub/amaya>.  mMosaic
;; <URL:ftp://sig.enst.fr/pub/multicast/mMosaic/>,
;; <URL:http://sig.enst.fr/~dauphin/mMosaic/> (with development
;; support for Java applets and multicast) can be used like Mosaic by
;; setting `browse-url-mosaic-program' appropriately.

;; I [Denis Howe, not Dave Love] recommend Nelson Minar
;; <nelson@santafe.edu>'s excellent html-helper-mode.el for editing
;; HTML and thank Nelson for his many useful comments on this code.
;; <URL:http://www.santafe.edu/%7Enelson/hhm-beta/>

;; See also hm--html-menus <URL:http://www.tnt.uni-hannover.de/%7Emuenkel/
;; software/own/hm--html-menus/>.  For composing correct HTML see also
;; PSGML the general SGML structure editor package
;; <URL:ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/sgml>; hm--html-menus can be used
;; with this.

;; This package generalises function html-previewer-process in Marc
;; Andreessen's html-mode (LCD modes/html-mode.el.Z).  See also the
;; ffap.el package.  The huge hyperbole package also contains similar
;; functions.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; Help!

;; Can you write and test some code for the Macintrash and Windoze
;; Netscape remote control APIs?  (See the URL above).

;; Do any other browsers have remote control?

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; Usage

;; To display the URL at or before point:
;; M-x browse-url-at-point RET
;; or, similarly but with the opportunity to edit the URL extracted from
;; the buffer, use:
;; M-x browse-url

;; To display a URL by shift-clicking on it, put this in your ~/.emacs
;; file:
;;      (global-set-key [S-mouse-2] 'browse-url-at-mouse)
;; (Note that using Shift-mouse-1 is not desirable because
;; that event has a standard meaning in Emacs.)

;; To display the current buffer in a web browser:
;; M-x browse-url-of-buffer RET

;; To display the current region in a web browser:
;; M-x browse-url-of-region RET

;; In Dired, to display the file named on the current line:
;; M-x browse-url-of-dired-file RET

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; Customisation (~/.emacs)

;; To see what variables are available for customization, type
;; `M-x set-variable browse-url TAB'.  Better, use
;; `M-x customize-group browse-url'.

;; Bind the browse-url commands to keys with the `C-c C-z' prefix
;; (as used by html-helper-mode):
;;      (global-set-key "\C-c\C-z." 'browse-url-at-point)
;;      (global-set-key "\C-c\C-zb" 'browse-url-of-buffer)
;;      (global-set-key "\C-c\C-zr" 'browse-url-of-region)
;;      (global-set-key "\C-c\C-zu" 'browse-url)
;;      (global-set-key "\C-c\C-zv" 'browse-url-of-file)
;;      (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
;;                (lambda ()
;;                   (local-set-key "\C-c\C-zf" 'browse-url-of-dired-file)))

;; Browse URLs in mail messages under RMAIL by clicking mouse-2:
;;      (add-hook 'rmail-mode-hook (lambda () ; rmail-mode startup
;;        (define-key rmail-mode-map [mouse-2] 'browse-url-at-mouse)))
;; Alternatively, add `goto-address' to `rmail-show-message-hook'.

;; Gnus provides a standard feature to activate URLs in article
;; buffers for invocation of browse-url.

;; Use the Emacs w3 browser when not running under X11:
;;      (or (eq window-system 'x)
;;          (setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-w3))

;; To always save modified buffers before displaying the file in a browser:
;;      (setq browse-url-save-file t)

;; To get round the Netscape caching problem, you could EITHER have
;; write-file in html-helper-mode make Netscape reload the document:
;;
;;      (autoload 'browse-url-netscape-reload "browse-url"
;;        "Ask a WWW browser to redisplay the current file." t)
;;      (add-hook 'html-helper-mode-hook
;;                (lambda ()
;;                   (add-hook 'local-write-file-hooks
;;                             (lambda ()
;;                                (let ((local-write-file-hooks))
;;                                  (save-buffer))
;;                                (browse-url-netscape-reload)
;;                                t)                    ; => file written by hook
;;                             t)))                     ; append to l-w-f-hooks
;;
;; OR have browse-url-of-file ask Netscape to load and then reload the
;; file:
;;
;;      (add-hook 'browse-url-of-file-hook 'browse-url-netscape-reload)

;; You may also want to customise browse-url-netscape-arguments, e.g.
;;      (setq browse-url-netscape-arguments '("-install"))
;;
;; or similarly for the other browsers.

;; To invoke different browsers for different URLs:
;;      (setq browse-url-browser-function '(("^mailto:" . browse-url-mail)
;;                                          ("." . browse-url-netscape)))
