1 Hello,
|
|
|
2
|
|
|
3 I've written a new version (4.16) of my html package for the XEmacs
|
|
|
4 (lemacs) and the GNU Emacs 19. It is based on the html-mode from Marc
|
|
|
5 Andreessen.
|
|
|
6
|
|
|
7 With this package it is very easy to write html pages for the World Wide
|
|
|
8 Web (WWW). Eg: In most cases the user gets help to construct a specific
|
|
|
9 link by examples or by a completition list with possible input strings.
|
|
|

|
|
|
11 Read the NEWS file to see what's new in this release..
|
|
|
12
|
|
|
13 The name of the package is
|
|
|
14 hm--html-menus-4.16.tar.gz
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 You should find it on the following ftp server:
|
|
|
17 info.cern.ch in /pub/www/contrib
|
|
|
18 sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/apps/editors/emacs/
|
|
|
19 ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de in /pub/unix/editors/lemacs/contrib
|
|
|
20 ftp.tnt.uni-hannover.de in /pub/editors/xemacs/contrib
|
|
|
21
|
|
|
22 It make take some time, before the package is copied by the ftp admins
|
|
|
23 from the incoming directories to the above listed directories.
|
|
|
24
|
|
|
25 There is also a html documentation about the package. You can find it on:
|
|
|
26 http://www.tnt.uni-hannover.de:80/data/info/www/tnt/soft/info/www/html-editors/hm--html-menus/overview.html
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 At the moment it describes the version (4.15), but it will be updated in the
|
|
|
29 near future.
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
70 most of the special ISO- characters, less, greater and ampersand;
|
|
|
71
|
|
|
72 If it makes sense, the functions worked also on selected regions.
|
|
|
73 I've used the same menu items and the same keystrokes. Therefore, you
|
|
|
74 don't need to learn different menus or keys for similar functions.
|
|
|
75
|
|
|
76 You can choose the popup menus between an expert menu, an novice menu and
|
|
|
77 the menu from Marc Andreessen interactively.
|
|
|
78
|
|
|
79 With the pulldown menu, you can do the following things:
|
|
|
80 - select the pulldown menu
|
|
|
81 - remove numeric names
|
|
|
82 - quotify hrefs
|
|
|
83 - reload the config files
|
|
|
84 - load html templates from a template directory (two templates are included
|
|
|
85 in the package); templates written in a special template language are
|
|
|
86 expanded automatically;
|
|
|
87 - preview html documents with the netscape
|
|
|
88 - preview html documents with the xmosaic
|
|
|
89 - preview html documents with the w3 package for the lemacs and emacs
|
|
|
90
|
|
|
91 You can configure the html mode with a special configuration file for
|
|
|
92 your site and with another file specific for a user.
|
|
|
93
|
|
|
94 The html specification is under development and therefore this
|
|
|
95 package is also under development. So, if you have any ideas to
|
|
|
96 extend the package, feel free to email them to muenkel@tnt.uni-hannover.de.
