 ;;; Commentary / README

;; these functions allow you to browse the libxml documentation
;; (using lynx within emacs by default)
;;
;; ----- Installing
;; 1. add the following to ~/.emacs (adapt path and remove comments !)
;; (autoload 'libxmldoc-lookup-symbol "~/elisp/libxml-doc" 
;;  "Look up libxml-symbols and start browser on documentation." t)
;; or put this file in load-path and use this:
;; (autoload 'libxmldoc-lookup-symbol "libxml-doc"
;;  "Look up libxml-symbols and start browser on documentation." t)
;;
;; 2. adapt libxmldoc-root:
;; i.e. (setq libxmldoc-root "~/libxml2-2.0.0/doc/html")
;;
;; 3. change the filter-regex: by default, cpp-defines, callbacks and
;; html-functions are excluded (C-h v libxmldoc-filter-regexp)
;;
;; 4. consider customizing libxmldoc-browse-url (lynx by default);
;; cannot use Emacs/W3 4.0pre46 because it has problems with the html
;;
;; ----- Using
;; call M-x libxmldoc-lookup-symbol: this will prompt with completion and
;; then open the browser showing the documentation. If the word around the
;; point matches a symbol, that is used instead.  You can also call
;; libxmldoc-lookup-symbol noninteractively and pass the symbol.

;; Note:
;; an alternative to libxml-doc is emacs tags:
;; $ cd libxml2-2.3.8
;; $ make TAGS
;; $ emacs
;; M-. (M-x find-tag) ...  or
;; M-x tags-search ... RET M-, M-, ...
;; (for more information: info emacs RET m Tags RET)


 ;;; ChangeLog:
;; Wed Jun 21 01:07:12 2000: initial release
;; Wed Jun 21 01:45:29 2000: added libxmldoc-lookup-symbol-at-point
;; Wed Jun 21 23:37:58 2000: libxmldoc-lookup-symbol now uses
;; (thing-at-point 'word) if it matches a symbol
;; Thu Jun 22 02:37:46 2000: filtering is only done for completion
;; Thu Jun 22 21:03:41 2000: libxmldoc-browse-url can be customized
;; Thu May 31 2001 (Geert): 
;;       - Changed the `gnome-xml-' html file prefix into `libxml-'.
;;       - Changed the 'word match from thing-at-point into 'symbol.
;;         With 'word, identifiers with an underscore (e.g. BAD_CAST)
;;         don't get matched.
;; Fri Jun  8 16:29:18 2001, Sat Jun 23 16:19:47 2001:
;; complete rewrite of libxmldoc-lookup-symbol
;; by Felix Natter <fnatter@gmx.net>, Geert Kloosterman <geertk@ai.rug.nl>:
;;       - Now keeps the list of symbols between calls to speed things up.
;;       - filtering is only used when no symbol is passed and
;;       thing-at-point does not match a symbol and "*" + thing-at-point
;;       does not match a symbol (this is used to catch callbacks) and
;;       libxmldoc-filter-regexp is non-nil.
;; Sat Jun 23 16:20:34 2001: update the docstrings
;; Sat Jun 23 16:22:54 2001 (Geert Kloosterman <geertk@ai.rug.nl>):
;; update README: use autoload instead of load+c-mode-hook
;; Sat Jul 7 19:00:31 2001: fixed a problem with XEmacs: the
;; string-match of XEmacs when used in completing-read used the
;; minibuffer's value of case-fold-search, and not the one in the
;; c-mode buffer that we had set => so there's a new *-string-match-cs
;; (case sensitive) function which binds case-fold-search and runs string-match
;; Wed Sep 1 20:26:29 2004: adapted for libxml2-2.6.9: handle
;; document-relative (#XXX) links

;;; TODO:
;; - use command-execute for libxmldoc-browse-url
;; - keep (match-string 1) in a variable (libxmldoc-get-list-of-symbols)
;;   (only if it improves performance)
;; - check the (require ..)-statements
