;;; Commentary:

;; The latest version of this package should be available from
;; <URL:http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/emacs/browse-url.el>.

;; This package provides functions which read a URL (Uniform Resource
;; Locator) from the minibuffer, defaulting to the URL around point,
;; and ask a World-Wide Web browser to load it.  It can also load the
;; URL associated with the current buffer.  Different browsers use
;; different methods of remote control so there is one function for
;; each supported browser.  If the chosen browser is not running, it
;; is started.  Currently there is support for:

;; Function              Browser     Earliest version
;; browse-url-netscape   Netscape    1.1b1         
;; browse-url-mosaic     XMosaic     <= 2.4
;; browse-url-cci        XMosaic     2.5
;; browse-url-w3         w3          0
;; browse-url-iximosaic  IXI Mosaic  ?

;; Note that versions of Netscape before 1.1b1 did not have remote
;; control.  <URL:http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html>
;; and <URL:http://home.netscape.com/info/APIs/>.

;; Netscape can cache Web pages so it may be necessary to tell it to
;; reload the current page if it has changed (eg. if you have edited
;; it).  There is currently no perfect automatic solution to this.

;; Netscape allows you to specify the id of the window you want to
;; control but which window DO you want to control and how do you
;; discover its id?

;; If using XMosaic before version 2.5, check the definition of
;; browse-url-usr1-signal below.
;; <URL:http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/XMosaic/remote-control.html>

;; XMosaic version 2.5 introduced Common Client Interface allowing you
;; to control mosaic through Unix sockets.
;; <URL:http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/XMosaic/CCI/cci-spec.html>

;; William M. Perry's excellent "w3" WWW browser for
;; Emacs <URL:ftp://cs.indiana.edu/pub/elisp/w3/>
;; has a function w3-follow-url-at-point, but that
;; doesn't let you edit the URL like browse-url.

;; I recommend Nelson Minar <[e-mail]>'s excellent
;; html-helper-mode.el for editing HTML and thank Nelson for
;; his many useful comments on this code.
;; <URL:http://www.santafe.edu/~nelson/hhm-beta/>

;; This package generalises function html-previewer-process in Marc
;; Andreessen <[e-mail]>'s html-mode (LCD
;; modes/html-mode.el.Z) and provides better versions of the URL
;; functions in Michelangelo Grigni <[e-mail]>'s ffap.el
;; (find-file-at-point) <URL:ftp://cs.ucsd.edu:/pub/mic/>.  The huge
;; hyperbole package also contains similar functions.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; Help!

;; Can you write and test some code for the Macintrash and Windoze
;; Netscape remote control APIs?  (See the URL above).

;; Do any other browsers have remote control?

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; Usage

;; To display the URL at or before point:
;; M-x browse-url-at-point RET

;; To display a URL by shift-clicking on it, put this in your ~/.emacs
;; file:
;;      (global-set-key [S-mouse-2] 'browse-url-at-mouse)
;; (Note that using Shift-mouse-1 is not desirable because
;; that event has a standard meaning in Emacs.)

;; To display the current buffer in a web browser:
;; M-x browse-url-of-buffer RET

;; In Dired, to display the file named on the current line:
;; M-x browse-url-of-dired-file RET

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; Customisation (~/.emacs)

;; To see what variables are available for customization, type `M-x
;; set-variable browse-url TAB'.

;; To bind the browse-url commands to keys with the `C-c u' prefix:
;;      (global-set-key "\C-cu." 'browse-url-at-point)
;;      (global-set-key "\C-cub" 'browse-url-of-buffer)
;;      (global-set-key "\C-cuf" 'browse-url-of-file)
;;      (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
;;                (lambda ()
;;                  (local-set-key "\C-cuf" 'browse-url-of-dired-file))))
;;      (if (boundp 'browse-url-browser-function)
;;          (global-set-key "\C-cuu" browse-url-browser-function)
;;        (eval-after-load
;;         "browse-url"
;;         '(global-set-key "\C-cuu" browse-url-browser-function)))

;; To use the Emacs w3 browser when not running under X11:
;;      (if (not (eq window-system 'x))
;;          (setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-w3))

;; To always save modified buffers before displaying the file in a browser:
;;      (setq browse-url-save-file t)

;; To get round the Netscape caching problem, you could try either of
;; the following (but not both).  EITHER write-file in
;; html-helper-mode makes Netscape reload document:
;;
;;      (autoload 'browse-url-netscape-reload "browse-url"
;;        "Ask a WWW browser to redisplay the current file." t)
;;      (add-hook 'html-helper-mode-hook
;;                (function (lambda ()
;;                   (add-hook 'local-write-file-hooks
;;                             (function (lambda ()
;;                                (let ((local-write-file-hooks))
;;                                  (save-buffer))
;;                                (browse-url-netscape-reload)
;;                                t))                   ; => file written by hook
;;                             t))))                    ; append to l-w-f-hooks
;;
;; [Does this work for html-mode too?]
;;
;; OR browse-url-of-file ask Netscape to load and then reload the
;; file:
;;
;;      (add-hook 'browse-url-of-file-hook 'browse-url-netscape-reload)

;; You may also want to customise browse-url-netscape-arguments, eg.
;;
;;      (setq browse-url-netscape-arguments '("-install"))
;;
;; or similarly for the other browsers.
