1 Hello,
|
|
|
2
|
|
98
|
3 I've written a new version (5.1) of my html package for the XEmacs
|
|
2
|
4 and the GNU Emacs 19. The name of the package is:
|
|
|
5
|
|
98
|
6 hm--html-menus-5.1.tar.gz
|
|
0
|
7
|
|
|
8 With this package it is very easy to write html pages for the World Wide
|
|
|
9 Web (WWW). Eg: In most cases the user gets help to construct a specific
|
|
|
10 link by examples or by a completition list with possible input strings.
|
|
2
|
11 It is also possible to insert links and images by just clicking on its
|
|
|
12 source and destination (drag and drop feature).

|
|
|
17 - there's now also a default drag and drop table for other modes
|
|
|
18 - a better interface for inserting template files
|
|
|
19 - indentation
|
|
|
20 - better font lock stuff
|
|
|
21 - a site specific configuration file

|

33 from the incoming directories to the above listed directories.

|
35 There is also a html documentation about the package. You can find it on:

39 releases in the near future will be a bug fix only release for the
|
|
|
40 Emacs 19. So please report any bugs to muenkel@tnt.uni-hannover.de.

|
79 If it makes sense, the functions worked also on selected regions.
|
|
|
80 I've used the same menu items and the same keystrokes. Therefore, you
|
|
|
81 don't need to learn different menus or keys for similar functions.
|
|
|
82
|
|
2
|
83 You can choose the popup menus between an expert menu and an novice
|
|
|
84 menu interactively.

100 You can insert links and images by clicking with Meta Button1 on its
|
|
|
101 source and then on its destination. For this drag and drop interface
|
|
|
102 the following destinations and links are supported:
|
|
|
103 - the inclusion of an GIF- or JPEG- image by clicking on its name
|
|
|
104 in a dired buffer
|
|
|
105 - a file or relative link to any other file by clicking on its name
|
|
|
106 in a dired buffer
|

|
|
|
108 a filename in the dired buffer
|
|
|
109 - a file or relative link to a file by clicking in a buffer with this
|
|
|
110 file
|
|
|
111 - a http or relative link to a html page by clicking in the w3 buffer,
|
|
|
112 which displays this page
|
|
|
113 - a http or relative link, which is in another html page by clicking
|
|
|
114 on the link in a w3 buffer
|
|
|
115 If there is an activated region in the source buffer, then the link
|
|
|
116 is inserted around it, so that the region is used as the name of the
|
|
|
117 link.
|
|
|
118

0
|
119 You can configure the html mode with a special configuration file for
|
|
|
120 your site and with another file specific for a user.
|
|
|
121
|
|
|
122 The html specification is under development and therefore this
|
|
|
123 package is also under development. So, if you have any ideas to
|
|
98
|
124 extend the package, feel free to email them to
|

125 muenkel@tnt.uni-hannover.de.
