+
+;;; 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.

+(defvar webjump-sites

+  "*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.")
