;;; Commentary:

;; WebJump provides a sort of ``programmable hotlist'' of Web sites that can
;; quickly be invoked in your Web browser.  Each Web site in the hotlist has a
;; name, and you select the desired site name via a completing string prompt in
;; the minibuffer.  The URL for each Web site is defined as a static string or
;; a built-in or custom function, allowing interactive prompting for
;; site-specific queries and options.

;; Note that WebJump was originally intended to complement your conventional
;; browser-based hotlist, not replace it.  (Though there's no reason you
;; couldn't use WebJump for your entire hotlist if you were so inclined.)

;; The `webjump-sites' variable, which defines the hotlist, defaults to some
;; example sites.  You'll probably want to override it with your own favorite
;; sites.  The documentation for the variable describes the syntax.

;; You may wish to add something like the following to your `.emacs' file:
;;
;;   (load "webjump")
;;   (global-set-key "\C-cj" 'webjump)
;;   (setq webjump-sites
;;         (append '(
;;                   ("My Home Page" . "www.someisp.net/users/joebobjr/")
;;                   ("Pop's Site"   . "www.joebob-and-son.com/")
;;                   )
;;                 webjump-sample-sites))
;;
;; The above loads this package, binds `C-c j' to invoke WebJump, and adds
;; your personal favorite sites to the hotlist.

;; The `webjump-sample-sites' constant mostly contains sites that are expected
;; to be generally useful to Emacs users or that have some sort of query which
;; can be coded in WebJump.  There are two main goals of this sample site list:
;; (1) demonstrate WebJump capabilities and usage; (2) provide definitions for
;; many popular sites so that people don't have to reinvent the wheel.  A few
;; assorted other sites have been thrown in on a whim.  No commercial sites are
;; included unless they provide a free, generally-useful service.  Inclusion of
;; a site does not represent an endorsement.  Please contact the maintainer
;; with change requests.

;; The `browse-url' package is used to submit URLs to the browser, so any
;; browser-specific configuration should be done there.

;; WebJump inherits a small amount code from my `altavista.el' package, and is
;; intended to obsolete that package.

  "*Hotlist for WebJump.

The hotlist is represented as an association list, with the CAR of each cell
being the name of the Web site, and the CDR being the definition for the URL of
that site.  The URL definition can be a string (the URL), a vector (specifying
a special \"builtin\" which returns a URL), a symbol (name of a function which
returns a URL), or a list (which when `eval'ed yields a URL).

If the URL definition is a vector, then a \"builtin\" is used.  A builtin has a
Lisp-like syntax, with the name as the first element of the vector, and any
arguments as the following elements.  The three current builtins are `name',
which returns the name of the site as the URL, `simple-query', which
returns a URL that is a function of a query entered by the user, and `mirrors',
which allows the user to select from among multiple mirror sites for the same
content.

The first argument to the `simple-query' builtin is a static URL to use if the
user enters a blank query.  The second and third arguments are the prefix and
suffix, respectively, to add to the encoded query the user enters.  This
builtin covers Web sites that have single-string searches with the query
embedded in the URL.

The arguments to the `mirrors' builtin are URLs of mirror sites.

If the symbol of a function is given, then the function will be called with the
Web site name (the one you specified in the CAR of the alist cell) as a
parameter.  This might come in handy for various kludges.

For convenience, if the `http://', `ftp://', or `file://' prefix is missing
from a URL, WebJump will make a guess at what you wanted and prepend it before
submitting the URL.")
