28;;; Commentary:
29;;
30;; This package provides a simple method of inserting an URL based on the
31;; text at point in the current buffer. This is part of an on-going effort
32;; to increase the information I provide people while reducing the ammount
33;; of typing I need to do. No-doubt there are undiscovered Emacs packages
34;; out there that do all of this and do it better, feel free to point me to
35;; them, in the mean time I'm having fun playing with Emacs Lisp.
36;;
37;; The URLs are stored in an external file as a list of either cons cells,
38;; or lists. A cons cell entry looks like this:
39;;
40;; (<Lookup> . <URL>)
41;;
42;; where <Lookup> is a string that acts as the keyword lookup and <URL> is
43;; the URL associated with it. An example might be:
44;;
45;; ("GNU" . "http://www.gnu.org/")
46;;
47;; A list entry looks like:
48;;
49;; (<Lookup> <URL> <Comment>)
50;;
51;; where <Lookup> and <URL> are the same as with the cons cell and <Comment>
52;; is any text you like that describes the URL. This description will be
53;; used when presenting a list of URLS using `quickurl-list'. An example
54;; might be:
55;;
56;; ("FSF" "http://www.fsf.org/" "The Free Software Foundation")
57;;
58;; Given the above, your quickurl file might look like:
59;;
60;; (("GNU" . "http://www.gnu.org/")
61;; ("FSF" "http://www.fsf.org/" "The Free Software Foundation")
62;; ("emacs" . "http://www.emacs.org/")
d36ca65d 63;; ("davep" "http://www.davep.org/" "Dave's homepage"))

GM
64;;
65;; In case you're wondering about the mixture of cons cells and lists,
66;; quickurl started life using just the cons cells, there were no comments.
67;; URL comments are a later addition and so there is a mixture to keep
68;; backward compatibility with existing URL lists.
69;;
70;; The name and location of the file is up to you, the default name used by
71;; `quickurl' is stored in `quickurl-url-file'.
72;;
73;; quickurl is always available from:
74;;
4b9e6d88 75;; <URL:http://www.davep.org/emacs/quickurl.el>
