30 ;; The latest version of this package should be available from
31 ;; <URL:http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/emacs/browse-url.el>.
33 ;; This package provides functions which read a URL (Uniform Resource
34 ;; Locator) from the minibuffer, defaulting to the URL around point,
35 ;; and ask a World-Wide Web browser to load it. It can also load the
36 ;; URL associated with the current buffer. Different browsers use
37 ;; different methods of remote control so there is one function for
38 ;; each supported browser. If the chosen browser is not running, it
39 ;; is started. Currently there is support for:
41 ;; Function Browser Earliest version
42 ;; browse-url-netscape Netscape 1.1b1
43 ;; browse-url-mosaic XMosaic <= 2.4
44 ;; browse-url-cci XMosaic 2.5
46 ;; browse-url-w3-gnudoit w3 remotely
47 ;; browse-url-iximosaic IXI Mosaic ?
48 ;; browse-url-lynx-* Lynx 0
49 ;; browse-url-grail Grail 0.3b1
50 ;; browse-url-mmm MMM ?
51 ;; browse-url-generic arbitrary
53 ;; Note that versions of Netscape before 1.1b1 did not have remote
54 ;; control. <URL:http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html>.
56 ;; Netscape can cache Web pages so it may be necessary to tell it to
57 ;; reload the current page if it has changed (e.g. if you have edited
58 ;; it). There is currently no perfect automatic solution to this.
60 ;; Netscape allows you to specify the id of the window you want to
61 ;; control but which window DO you want to control and how do you
64 ;; If using XMosaic before version 2.5, check the definition of
65 ;; browse-url-usr1-signal below.
66 ;; <URL:http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/XMosaic/remote-control.html>
68 ;; XMosaic version 2.5 introduced Common Client Interface allowing you
69 ;; to control mosaic through Unix sockets.
70 ;; <URL:http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/XMosaic/CCI/cci-spec.html>
72 ;; William M. Perry's excellent "w3" WWW browser for
73 ;; Emacs <URL:ftp://cs.indiana.edu/pub/elisp/w3/>
74 ;; has a function w3-follow-url-at-point, but that
75 ;; doesn't let you edit the URL like browse-url.
76 ;; The `gnuserv' package that can be used to control it in another
77 ;; Emacs process is available from
78 ;; <URL:http://hplbwww.hpl.hp.com/people/ange/gnuserv/>.
80 ;; Grail is the freely available WWW browser implemented in Python, a
81 ;; cool object-oriented freely available interpreted language. Grail
82 ;; 0.3b1 was the first version to have remote control as distributed.
83 ;; For more information on Grail see
84 ;; <URL:http://grail.cnri.reston.va.us/> and for more information on
85 ;; Python see <url:http://www.python.org/>. Grail support in
86 ;; browse-url.el written by Barry Warsaw <bwarsaw@python.org>.
88 ;; MMM is the freely available WWW browser implemented in Caml Special
89 ;; Light, a cool impure functional programming language, by Francois
90 ;; Rouaix. See the MMM home page
91 ;; <URL:http://pauillac.inria.fr/%7Erouaix/mmm/>.
93 ;; Lynx is now distributed by the FSF. See also
94 ;; <URL:http://lynx.browser.org/>.
96 ;; Free graphical browsers that could be used by `browse-url-generic'
97 ;; include Chimera <URL:ftp://ftp.cs.unlv.edu/pub/chimera> and
98 ;; <URL:http://www.unlv.edu/chimera/>, Arena
99 ;; <URL:ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/pub/dist/web/arena>, Amaya
100 ;; <URL:ftp://ftp.w3.org/pub/amaya>, mMosaic
101 ;; <URL:ftp://sig.enst.fr/pub/multicast/mMosaic/> (the latter with
102 ;; development support for Java applets).
104 ;; I recommend Nelson Minar <nelson@santafe.edu>'s excellent
105 ;; html-helper-mode.el for editing HTML and thank Nelson for
106 ;; his many useful comments on this code.

109 ;; This package generalises function html-previewer-process in Marc
110 ;; Andreessen <marca@ncsa.uiuc.edu>'s html-mode (LCD
111 ;; modes/html-mode.el.Z) and provides better versions of the URL
112 ;; functions in Michelangelo Grigni <mic@cs.ucsd.edu>'s ffap.el
113 ;; (find-file-at-point) <URL:ftp://cs.ucsd.edu:/pub/mic/>. The huge
114 ;; hyperbole package also contains similar functions.
