+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; 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/mMosaic <= 2.4
+;; browse-url-cci        XMosaic     2.5
+;; browse-url-w3         w3          0
+;; browse-url-w3-gnudoit w3 remotely
+;; browse-url-iximosaic  IXI Mosaic  ?
+;; browse-url-lynx-*	 Lynx	     0
+;; browse-url-grail      Grail       0.3b1
+;; browse-url-mmm        MMM         ?
+;; browse-url-generic    arbitrary
+
+;; [A version of the Netscape browser is now free software
+;; <URL:http://www.mozilla.org/>, albeit not GPLed, so it is
+;; reasonable to have that as the default.]
+
+;; Note that versions of Netscape before 1.1b1 did not have remote
+;; control.  <URL:http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/x-remote.html>.
+
+;; Browsers can cache Web pages so it may be necessary to tell them to
+;; reload the current page if it has changed (e.g. 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.
+;; The `gnuserv' package that can be used to control it in another
+;; Emacs process is available from
+;; <URL:ftp://ftp.splode.com/pub/users/friedman/packages/>.
+
+;; Grail is the freely available WWW browser implemented in Python, a
+;; cool object-oriented freely available interpreted language.  Grail
+;; 0.3b1 was the first version to have remote control as distributed.
+;; For more information on Grail see
+;; <URL:http://grail.cnri.reston.va.us/> and for more information on
+;; Python see <url:http://www.python.org/>.  Grail support in
+;; browse-url.el written by Barry Warsaw <bwarsaw@python.org>.
+
+;; MMM is a semi-free WWW browser implemented in Objective Caml, an
+;; interesting impure functional programming language.  See
+;; <URL:http://pauillac.inria.fr/%7Erouaix/mmm/>.
+
+;; Lynx is now distributed by the FSF.  See also
+;; <URL:http://lynx.browser.org/>.
+
+;; Free graphical browsers that could be used by `browse-url-generic'
+;; include Chimera <URL:ftp://ftp.cs.unlv.edu/pub/chimera> and
+;; <URL:http://www.unlv.edu/chimera/>, Arena
+;; <URL:ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/pub/dist/web/arena> and Amaya
+;; <URL:ftp://ftp.w3.org/pub/amaya>.  mMosaic
+;; <URL:ftp://sig.enst.fr/pub/multicast/mMosaic/>,
+;; <URL:http://sig.enst.fr/~dauphin/mMosaic/> (with development
+;; support for Java applets and multicast) can be used like Mosaic by
+;; setting `browse-url-mosaic-program' appropriately.
+
+;; I [Denis Howe, not Dave Love] recommend Nelson Minar
+;; <nelson@santafe.edu>'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/%7Enelson/hhm-beta/>
+
+;; See also hm--html-menus <URL:http://www.tnt.uni-hannover.de/%7Emuenkel/
+;; software/own/hm--html-menus/>.  For composing correct HTML see also
+;; PSGML the general SGML structure editor package
+;; <URL:ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/sgml>; hm--html-menus can be used
+;; with this.
+
+;; This package generalises function html-previewer-process in Marc
+;; Andreessen's html-mode (LCD modes/html-mode.el.Z).  See also the
+;; ffap.el package.  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
+;; or, similarly but with the opportunity to edit the URL extracted from
+;; the buffer, use:
+;; M-x browse-url
+
+;; 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
+
+;; To display the current region in a web browser:
+;; M-x browse-url-of-region 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'.  Better, use
+;; `M-x customize-group browse-url'.
+
+;; Bind the browse-url commands to keys with the `C-c C-z' prefix
+;; (as used by html-helper-mode):
+;;	(global-set-key "\C-c\C-z." 'browse-url-at-point)
+;;	(global-set-key "\C-c\C-zb" 'browse-url-of-buffer)
+;;	(global-set-key "\C-c\C-zr" 'browse-url-of-region)
+;;	(global-set-key "\C-c\C-zu" 'browse-url)
+;;	(global-set-key "\C-c\C-zv" 'browse-url-of-file)
+;;	(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
+;;		  (lambda ()
+;;	             (local-set-key "\C-c\C-zf" 'browse-url-of-dired-file)))
+
+;; Browse URLs in mail messages by clicking mouse-2:
+;;	(add-hook 'rmail-mode-hook (lambda () ; rmail-mode startup
+;;	  (define-key rmail-mode-map [mouse-2] 'browse-url-at-mouse)))
+
+;; Browse URLs in Usenet messages by clicking mouse-2:
+;;	(eval-after-load "gnus"
+;;	  '(define-key gnus-article-mode-map [mouse-2] 'browse-url-at-mouse))
+;; [The current version of Gnus provides a standard feature to
+;; activate URLs in article buffers for invocation of browse-url with
+;; mouse-2.]
+
+;; Use the Emacs w3 browser when not running under X11:
+;;	(or (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 EITHER have
+;; write-file in html-helper-mode make Netscape reload the document:
+;;
+;;	(autoload 'browse-url-netscape-reload "browse-url"
+;;	  "Ask a WWW browser to redisplay the current file." t)
+;;	(add-hook 'html-helper-mode-hook
+;;		  (lambda ()
+;;		     (add-hook 'local-write-file-hooks
+;;			       (lambda ()
+;;				  (let ((local-write-file-hooks))
+;;				    (save-buffer))
+;;				  (browse-url-netscape-reload)
+;;				  t)			; => file written by hook
+;;			       t)))			; append to l-w-f-hooks
+;;
+;; OR have 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, e.g.
+;;	(setq browse-url-netscape-arguments '("-install"))
+;;
+;; or similarly for the other browsers.
+
+;; To invoke different browsers for different URLs:
+;;      (setq browse-url-browser-function '(("^mailto:" . browse-url-mail)
+;;      				    ("." . browse-url-netscape)))
