     21  ;;; Commentary / README
     22 
     23 ;; these functions allow you to browse the libxml documentation
     24 ;; (using lynx within emacs by default)
     25 ;;
     26 ;; ----- Installing
     27 ;; 1. add the following to ~/.emacs (adapt path and remove comments !)
     28 ;; (autoload 'libxmldoc-lookup-symbol "~/elisp/libxml-doc"
     29 ;;  "Look up libxml-symbols and start browser on documentation." t)
     30 ;; or put this file in load-path and use this:
     31 ;; (autoload 'libxmldoc-lookup-symbol "libxml-doc"
     32 ;;  "Look up libxml-symbols and start browser on documentation." t)
     33 ;;
     34 ;; 2. adapt libxmldoc-root:
     35 ;; i.e. (setq libxmldoc-root "~/libxml2-2.0.0/doc/html")
     36 ;;
     37 ;; 3. change the filter-regex: by default, cpp-defines, callbacks and
     38 ;; html-functions are excluded (C-h v libxmldoc-filter-regexp)
     39 ;;
     40 ;; 4. consider customizing libxmldoc-browse-url (lynx by default);
     41 ;; cannot use Emacs/W3 4.0pre46 because it has problems with the html
     42 ;;
     43 ;; ----- Using
     44 ;; call M-x libxmldoc-lookup-symbol: this will prompt with completion and
     45 ;; then open the browser showing the documentation. If the word around the
     46 ;; point matches a symbol, that is used instead.  You can also call
     47 ;; libxmldoc-lookup-symbol noninteractively and pass the symbol.
     48 
     49 ;; Note:
     50 ;; an alternative to libxml-doc is emacs tags:
     51 ;; $ cd libxml2-2.3.8
     52 ;; $ make TAGS
     53 ;; $ emacs
     54 ;; M-. (M-x find-tag) ...  or
     55 ;; M-x tags-search ... RET M-, M-, ...
     56 ;; (for more information: info emacs RET m Tags RET)
     57 
     58 
     59  ;;; ChangeLog:
     60 ;; Wed Jun 21 01:07:12 2000: initial release
     61 ;; Wed Jun 21 01:45:29 2000: added libxmldoc-lookup-symbol-at-point
     62 ;; Wed Jun 21 23:37:58 2000: libxmldoc-lookup-symbol now uses
     63 ;; (thing-at-point 'word) if it matches a symbol
     64 ;; Thu Jun 22 02:37:46 2000: filtering is only done for completion
     65 ;; Thu Jun 22 21:03:41 2000: libxmldoc-browse-url can be customized
     66 ;; Thu May 31 2001 (Geert):
     67 ;;       - Changed the `gnome-xml-' html file prefix into `libxml-'.
     68 ;;       - Changed the 'word match from thing-at-point into 'symbol.
     69 ;;         With 'word, identifiers with an underscore (e.g. BAD_CAST)
     70 ;;         don't get matched.
     71 ;; Fri Jun  8 16:29:18 2001, Sat Jun 23 16:19:47 2001:
     72 ;; complete rewrite of libxmldoc-lookup-symbol
     73 ;; by Felix Natter <fnatter (at) gmx.net>, Geert Kloosterman <geertk (at) ai.rug.nl>:
     74 ;;       - Now keeps the list of symbols between calls to speed things up.
     75 ;;       - filtering is only used when no symbol is passed and
     76 ;;       thing-at-point does not match a symbol and "*" + thing-at-point
     77 ;;       does not match a symbol (this is used to catch callbacks) and
     78 ;;       libxmldoc-filter-regexp is non-nil.
     79 ;; Sat Jun 23 16:20:34 2001: update the docstrings
     80 ;; Sat Jun 23 16:22:54 2001 (Geert Kloosterman <geertk (at) ai.rug.nl>):
     81 ;; update README: use autoload instead of load+c-mode-hook
     82 ;; Sat Jul 7 19:00:31 2001: fixed a problem with XEmacs: the
     83 ;; string-match of XEmacs when used in completing-read used the
     84 ;; minibuffer's value of case-fold-search, and not the one in the
     85 ;; c-mode buffer that we had set => so there's a new *-string-match-cs
     86 ;; (case sensitive) function which binds case-fold-search and runs string-match
     87 ;; Wed Sep 1 20:26:29 2004: adapted for libxml2-2.6.9: handle
     88 ;; document-relative (#XXX) links
     89 
     90 ;;; TODO:
     91 ;; - use command-execute for libxmldoc-browse-url
     92 ;; - keep (match-string 1) in a variable (libxmldoc-get-list-of-symbols)
