| 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. | |
| 10 | |
| 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. | |
| 30 | |
| 31 | |
| 32 The package provides functions to insert the following stuff in html-pages: | |
| 33 1. Anchors: | |
| 34 html link, info link, gopher link, file link; | |
| 35 ftp link, news link, mail link, wais (direct) link, | |
| 36 wais (gateway) link; | |
| 37 proggate link, local proggate link, general link; | |
| 38 link target; | |
| 39 2. Frame elements: | |
| 40 full html frame with html, head, body, title, header and signature | |
| 41 elements or only the single elements; | |
| 42 link element; | |
| 43 html 'created'- and 'changed'- comments; | |
| 44 the current date in the title; | |
| 45 3. Structure elements: | |
| 46 menu or list item, menu, unordered list, ordered list, directory list; | |
| 47 description list, description title, description entry; | |
| 48 new paragraph, new line, horizontal rule, table, table title, | |
| 49 table header, table row, table entry; | |
| 50 4. for formatting paragraphs: | |
| 51 without links, with links, blockquote, listing, abstract; | |
| 52 5. formatting: | |
| 53 bold, italic, underline, typewriter, strikethru, super and subscript, | |
| 54 emphasized, strong, | |
| 55 definition, keyboard, command, argument, option, variable, instance, | |
| 56 code, sample, | |
| 57 quote, acronym, abbrevation, citation, literature, publication, isbn, | |
| 58 person, author, editor, credits, copyright, | |
| 59 footnote, margin, | |
| 60 html comment; | |
| 61 6. include: | |
| 62 top aligned image, middle aligned image, bottom aligned image; | |
| 63 7. forms: | |
| 64 form; | |
| 65 text, password, isindex, integer, float, date, url, scribble fields; | |
| 66 checkbox, radio, reset, image, audio and submit buttons; | |
| 67 option menus, scrolled lists and option entries; | |
| 68 textarea; | |
| 69 8. entities: | |
| 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. | |
