(Man-mode-hook): Renamed from Man-mode-hooks. (Man-follow-manual-reference): Strip trailing - from default. (Man-getpage-in-background): Use lower case for arg vars. (Man-follow-manual-reference): Check for existence of references before using the minibuffer. Delete period from error message. Delete spurious concat call. Pass arg, not (consp arg), to Man-getpage-in-background. (Man-follow-manual-reference): Try to use current word as a default for the reference to follow. Use interactive to read the reference name.

;;; Commentary:
|
||
|
||
;; This code provides a function, manual-entry, with which you can
|
||
;; browse UNIX manual pages. Formatting is done in background so that
|
||
;; you can continue to use your Emacs while processing is going on.
|
||
;;
|
||
;; The mode also supports hypertext-like following of manual page SEE
|
||
;; ALSO references, and other features. See below or do `?' in a
|
||
;; manual page buffer for details.
|
||
|
||
;; ========== Credits and History ==========
|
||
;; In mid 1991, several people posted some interesting improvements to
|
||
;; man.el from the standard emacs 18.57 distribution. I liked many of
|
||
;; these, but wanted everthing in one single package, so I decided
|
||
;; to encorporate them into a single manual browsing mode. While
|
||
;; much of the code here has been rewritten, and some features added,
|
||
;; these folks deserve lots of credit for providing the initial
|
||
;; excellent packages on which this one is based.
|
||
|
||
;; Nick Duffek <duffek@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu>, posted a very nice
|
||
;; improvement which retrieved and cleaned the manpages in a
|
||
;; background process, and which correctly deciphered such options as
|
||
;; man -k.
|
||
|
||
;; Eric Rose <erose@jessica.stanford.edu>, submitted manual.el which
|
||
;; provided a very nice manual browsing mode.
|
||
|
||
;; This package was available as `superman.el' from the LCD package
|
||
;; for some time before it was accepted into Emacs 19. The entry
|
||
;; point and some other names have been changed to make it a drop-in
|
||
;; replacement for the old man.el package.
|
||
|
||
;; ========== Features ==========
|
||
;; + Runs "man" in the background and pipes the results through a
|
||
;; series of sed and awk scripts so that all retrieving and cleaning
|
||
;; is done in the background. The cleaning commands are configurable.
|
||
;; + Syntax is the same as Un*x man
|
||
;; + Functionality is the same as Un*x man, including "man -k" and
|
||
;; "man <section>", etc.
|
||
;; + Provides a manual browsing mode with keybindings for traversing
|
||
;; the sections of a manpage, following references in the SEE ALSO
|
||
;; section, and more.
|
||
;; + Multiple manpages created with the same man command are put into
|
||
;; a narrowed buffer circular list.
