1 Hello,
|
|
2
|
42
|
3 I've written a new version (5.4) of my html package for the XEmacs
|
2
|
4 and the GNU Emacs 19. The name of the package is:
|
|
5
|
42
|
6 hm--html-menus-5.4.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).

|
13
|

|
14 The biggest new features compared with release 5.0 are:
|
|
15 - commands to insert all elements, which are used by HTML 3.2.
|
22
|
16 - a better drag and drop interface to insert links with the mouse
|
|
17 - help feature for the drag and drop commands
|
|
18 - there's now also a default drag and drop table for other modes
|
|
19 - a better interface for inserting template files
|
|
20 - indentation
|
|
21 - better font lock stuff
|
|
22 - a site specific configuration file
|
|
23 (look at the variable hm--html-site-config-file)
|
|
24 - a better syntax table from Bob Weiner
|
|
25 - a lot of bug fixes

28 You should find hm--html-menus-5.4.tar.gz on the following ftp server:
|
0
|
29 sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/apps/editors/emacs/
|
|
30 ftp.tnt.uni-hannover.de in /pub/editors/xemacs/contrib
|
|
31
|
2
|
32 It may take some time, before the package is copied by the ftp admins
|
0
|
33 from the incoming directories to the above listed directories.
|
|
34
|
|
35 There is also a html documentation about the package. You can find it on:
|
22
|
36 http://www.tnt.uni-hannover.de/~muenkel/software/own/hm--html-menus/overview.html
|
|
37
|
26
|
38 This package provides also a minor mode (hm--html-minor-mode), which
|
|
39 can be used together with another html major mode, like the psgml-html
|
|
40 mode in the XEmacs 19.14.
|
|
41
|
22
|
42 NOTE: This version is not tested with the Emacs 19. One of the next
|
|
43 releases in the near future will be a bug fix only release for the
|
|
44 Emacs 19. So please report any bugs to muenkel@tnt.uni-hannover.de.

|
86 If it makes sense, the functions worked also on selected regions.
|
|
87 I've used the same menu items and the same keystrokes. Therefore, you
|
|
88 don't need to learn different menus or keys for similar functions.
|
|
89
|
2
|
90 You can choose the popup menus between an expert menu and an novice

|
91 menu interactively.

107 You can insert links and images by clicking with Meta Button1 on its
|
|
108 source and then on its destination. For this drag and drop interface
|
|
109 the following destinations and links are supported:
|
|
110 - the inclusion of an GIF- or JPEG- image by clicking on its name
|
|
111 in a dired buffer
|
|
112 - a file or relative link to any other file by clicking on its name
|
|
113 in a dired buffer
|
|
114 - a file or relative link to a directory by clicking on a line without
|
|
115 a filename in the dired buffer
|
|
116 - a file or relative link to a file by clicking in a buffer with this
|
|
117 file
|
|
118 - a http or relative link to a html page by clicking in the w3 buffer,
|
|
119 which displays this page
|
|
120 - a http or relative link, which is in another html page by clicking
|
|
121 on the link in a w3 buffer
|
|
122 If there is an activated region in the source buffer, then the link
|
|
123 is inserted around it, so that the region is used as the name of the
|
|
124 link.

|
126 You can configure the html mode with a special configuration file for
|
|
127 your site and with another file specific for a user.
|
|
128
|
|
129 The html specification is under development and therefore this
|
|
130 package is also under development. So, if you have any ideas to
|
22
|
131 extend the package, feel free to email them to
|
|
132 muenkel@tnt.uni-hannover.de.
