- Hello,
-
- I've written a new version (4.13) of my html package for the XEmacs
- (lemacs) and the GNU Emacs 19. It is based on the html-mode from Marc
- Andreessen.
-
- With this package it is very easy to write html pages for the World Wide
- Web (WWW). Eg: In most cases the user gets help to construct a specific
- link by examples or by a completition list with possible input strings.
-
- Read the NEWS file to see what's new in this release..
-
- The name of the package is
- hm--html-menus-4.13.tar.gz
-
- You should find it on the following ftp server:
- info.cern.ch in /pub/www/contrib
- sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/apps/editors/emacs/
- ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de in /pub/unix/editors/lemacs/contrib
- ftp.tnt.uni-hannover.de in /pub/editors/xemacs/contrib
-
- It make take some time, before the package is copied by the ftp admins
- from the incoming directories to the above listed directories.
-
- There is also a html documentation about the package. You can find it on:
- http://www.tnt.uni-hannover.de:80/data/info/www/tnt/soft/info/www/html-editors/hm--html-menus/overview.html
-
- At the moment it describes the version (4.7), but it will be updated in the
- near future.
-
-
- The package provides functions to insert the following stuff in html-pages:
- 1. Anchors:
- html link, info link, gopher link, file link;
- ftp link, news link, mail link, wais (direct) link,
- wais (gateway) link;
- proggate link, local proggate link, general link;
- link target;
- 2. Frame elements:
- full html frame with html, head, body, title, header and signature
- elements or only the single elements;
- link element;
- html 'created'- and 'changed'- comments;
- the current date in the title;
- 3. Structure elements:
- menu or list item, menu, unordered list, ordered list, directory list;
- description list, description title, description entry;
- new paragraph, new line, horizontal rule, table, table title,
- table header, table row, table entry;
- 4. for formatting paragraphs:
- without links, with links, blockquote, listing, abstract;
- 5. formatting:
- bold, italic, underline, typewriter, strikethru, super and subscript,
- emphasized, strong,
- definition, keyboard, command, argument, option, variable, instance,
- code, sample,
- quote, acronym, abbrevation, citation, literature, publication, isbn,
- person, author, editor, credits, copyright,
- footnote, margin,
- html comment;
- 6. include:
- top aligned image, middle aligned image, bottom aligned image;
- 7. forms:
- form;
- text, password, isindex, integer, float, date, url, scribble fields;
- checkbox, radio, reset, image, audio and submit buttons;
- option menus, scrolled lists and option entries;
- textarea;
- 8. entities:
- most of the special ISO- characters, less, greater and ampersand;
-
- If it makes sense, the functions worked also on selected regions.
- I've used the same menu items and the same keystrokes. Therefore, you
- don't need to learn different menus or keys for similar functions.
-
- You can choose the popup menus between an expert menu, an novice menu and
- the menu from Marc Andreessen interactively.
-
- With the pulldown menu, you can do the following things:
- - select the pulldown menu
- - remove numeric names
- - quotify hrefs
- - reload the config files
- - load html templates from a template directory (two templates are included
- in the package); templates written in a special template language are
- expanded automatically;
- - preview html documents with the netscape
- - preview html documents with the xmosaic
- - preview html documents with the w3 package for the lemacs and emacs
-
- You can configure the html mode with a special configuration file for
- your site and with another file specific for a user.
-
- The html specification is under development and therefore this
- package is also under development. So, if you have any ideas to
- extend the package, feel free to email them to muenkel@tnt.uni-hannover.de.
