1 Hello,
|
|
|

|
3 I've written a new version (5.0) of my html package for the XEmacs
|
|
2
|
4 and the GNU Emacs 19. The name of the package is:
|
|
|
5
|
|
70
|
6 hm--html-menus-5.0.tar.gz
|
|

|
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 - some new html tags, like the <applet> tags
|
|
|
18 - fixed some old html tags
|
|
|
19 - the pulldown menu in the Emacs 19 is no longer a global menu
|
|
|
20 - the popup menus in the Emacs 19 are now much fastere
|
|
|
21 - the name of the mode has changed from html-mode to hm--html-mode

73 If it makes sense, the functions worked also on selected regions.
|
|
|
74 I've used the same menu items and the same keystrokes. Therefore, you
|
|
|
75 don't need to learn different menus or keys for similar functions.
|
|
|
76
|
|
2
|
77 You can choose the popup menus between an expert menu and an novice
|
|
|
78 menu interactively.

92 You can insert links and images by clicking with Meta Button1 on its

|
|
93 source and then on its destination. For this drag and drop interface
|
|
|
94 the following destinations and links are supported:

|
|
|
96 in a dired buffer
|
|

|
|
|
98 in a dired buffer
|

|
|
|
100 a filename in the dired buffer
|
|
|
101 - a file or relative link to a file by clicking in a buffer with this
|
|
|
102 file
|
|
|
103 - a http or relative link to a html page by clicking in the w3 buffer,
|
|
|
104 which displays this page
|
|
|
105 - a http or relative link, which is in another html page by clicking
|
|
|
106 on the link in a w3 buffer
|
|
|
107 If there is an activated region in the source buffer, then the link
|
|
|
108 is inserted around it, so that the region is used as the name of the
|
|
|
109 link.

|
111 You can configure the html mode with a special configuration file for
|
|
|
112 your site and with another file specific for a user.
|
|
|
113
|
|
|
114 The html specification is under development and therefore this
|
|
|
115 package is also under development. So, if you have any ideas to
|
|
70
|
116 extend the package, feel free to email them to muenkel@tnt.uni-hannover.de.
