26;;; Commentary:
27
28;; WebJump provides a sort of ``programmable hotlist'' of Web sites that can
29;; quickly be invoked in your Web browser. Each Web site in the hotlist has a
30;; name, and you select the desired site name via a completing string prompt in
31;; the minibuffer. The URL for each Web site is defined as a static string or
32;; a built-in or custom function, allowing interactive prompting for
33;; site-specific queries and options.
34
35;; Note that WebJump was originally intended to complement your conventional
36;; browser-based hotlist, not replace it. (Though there's no reason you
37;; couldn't use WebJump for your entire hotlist if you were so inclined.)
38
39;; The `webjump-sites' variable, which defines the hotlist, defaults to some
40;; example sites. You'll probably want to override it with your own favorite
41;; sites. The documentation for the variable describes the syntax.
42
43;; You may wish to add something like the following to your `.emacs' file:
44;;
45;; (require 'webjump)
46;; (global-set-key "\C-cj" 'webjump)
47;; (setq webjump-sites
48;; (append '(
49;; ("My Home Page" . "www.someisp.net/users/joebobjr/")
50;; ("Pop's Site" . "www.joebob-and-son.com/")
51;; )
52;; webjump-sample-sites))
53;;
54;; The above loads this package, binds `C-c j' to invoke WebJump, and adds your
55;; personal favorite sites to the hotlist.
56
57;; The `webjump-sample-sites' variable mostly contains some site entries that
58;; are expected to be generally relevant to many users, but excluding
59;; those that the GNU project would not want to recommend.
60
61;; The `browse-url' package is used to submit URLs to the browser, so any
62;; browser-specific configuration should be done there.

199 "*Hotlist for WebJump.
200
201The hotlist is represented as an association list, with the CAR of each cell
202being the name of the Web site, and the CDR being the definition for the URL of
203that site. The URL definition can be a string (the URL), a vector (specifying
204a special \"builtin\" which returns a URL), a symbol (name of a function which
205returns a URL), or a list (which when `eval'ed yields a URL).
206
207If the URL definition is a vector, then a \"builtin\" is used. A builtin has a
208Lisp-like syntax, with the name as the first element of the vector, and any
209arguments as the following elements. The three current builtins are `name',
210which returns the name of the site as the URL, `simple-query', which
211returns a URL that is a function of a query entered by the user, and `mirrors',
212which allows the user to select from among multiple mirror sites for the same
213content.
214
215The first argument to the `simple-query' builtin is a static URL to use if the
216user enters a blank query. The second and third arguments are the prefix and
217suffix, respectively, to add to the encoded query the user enters. This
218builtin covers Web sites that have single-string searches with the query
219embedded in the URL.
220
221The arguments to the `mirrors' builtin are URLs of mirror sites.
222
223If the symbol of a function is given, then the function will be called with the
224Web site name (the one you specified in the CAR of the alist cell) as a
225parameter. This might come in handy for various kludges.
226
227For convenience, if the `http://', `ftp://', or `file://' prefix is missing
228from a URL, WebJump will make a guess at what you wanted and prepend it before
229submitting the URL.")
