Bonjour tout l'monde !
I am writing to both Emacs-devel and org-mode list because this concerns
browsing URL, and Org-mode already has quite some stuff on this.
Recently I came across this that in an Info file a « file: » protocol
URL is not opened at point. Please find attached a patch to make it
known to the Emacs info browser.
My point was that I have some manual that are only in HTML or PDF, like
the SVN manual, In have a local copy, and I want to find it through a
manual index that I written in Texinfo to get an info node with this
index.
I suspect that some other people than me may have the same need, and as
such the patch is useful. If everybody agrees with the attached patch I
can commit/push it on the master branch.
Now, maybe it is the time to reconsider how the info browser consider
URL's, maybe there is some code factorization to do with org-mode, in
order to accept a wider range of variety of URL's. Org-mode is good at
that, and that is why I am having its forum in the loop of this
discussion.
For instance, I remember that at some point of time at my job I was
handling some requirements with IBM-Doors (it was a long time ago, and
that SW was named Telelogic-Doors at that time). I had a few org-mode
files with custom URL's pointing at Doors objects, and that was quite
useful to me to be able to keep in my TODO lists, and other Org-mode
stuff direct links to these objects. I suspect that some people may have
the same need with Texinfo documents when they want to use custom URL's…
Vincent.
