32 ;; Intercept calls from emacsclient to trigger custom actions.
34 ;; This is done by advising `server-visit-files' to scann the list of filenames
35 ;; for `org-protocol-the-protocol' and sub-procols defined in
36 ;; `org-protocol-protocol-alist' and `org-protocol-protocol-alist-default'.
38 ;; Any application that supports calling external programs with an URL
39 ;; as argument may be used with this functionality.
45 ;; 1.) Add this to your init file (.emacs probably):
47 ;; (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/org-protocol/")
48 ;; (require 'org-protocol)
50 ;; 3.) Ensure emacs-server is up and running.
51 ;; 4.) Try this from the command line (adjust the URL as needed):
54 ;; org-protocol://store-link://http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
56 ;; 5.) Optionally add custom sub-protocols and handlers:
58 ;; (setq org-protocol-protocol-alist
60 ;; :protocol "my-protocol"
61 ;; :function my-protocol-handler-fuction)))
63 ;; A "sub-protocol" will be found in URLs like this:
65 ;; org-protocol://sub-protocol://data
67 ;; If it works, you can now setup other applications for using this feature.
70 ;; As of March 2009 Firefox users follow the steps documented on
71 ;; http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol, Opera setup is described here:
72 ;; http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/535/
78 ;; org-protocol.el comes with and installs handlers to open sources of published
79 ;; online content, store and insert the browser's URLs and cite online content
80 ;; by clicking on a bookmark in Firefox, Opera and probably other browsers and
83 ;; * `org-protocol-open-source' uses the sub-protocol \"open-source\" and maps
84 ;; URLs to local filenames defined in `org-protocol-project-alist'.
86 ;; * `org-protocol-store-link' stores an Org-link (if Org-mode is present) and
87 ;; pushes the browsers URL to the `kill-ring' for yanking. This handler is
88 ;; triggered through the sub-protocol \"store-link\".
90 ;; * Call `org-protocol-remember' by using the sub-protocol \"remember\". If
91 ;; Org-mode is loaded, emacs will pop-up a remember buffer and fill the
92 ;; template with the data provided. I.e. the browser's URL is inserted as an
93 ;; Org-link of which the page title will be the description part. If text
94 ;; was select in the browser, that text will be the body of the entry.
96 ;; You may use the same bookmark URL for all those standard handlers and just
97 ;; adjust the sub-protocol used:
99 ;; location.href='org-protocol://sub-protocol://'+
100 ;; encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'/'+
101 ;; encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'/'+
102 ;; encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())
104 ;; The handler for the sub-protocol \"remember\" detects an optional template
105 ;; char that, if present, triggers the use of a special template.
108 ;; location.href='org-protocol://sub-protocol://x/'+ ...
112 ;; Note, that using double slashes is optional from org-protocol.el's point of
113 ;; view because emacsclient squashes the slashes to one.

223 protocol - protocol to detect in a filename without trailing colon and slashes.
224 See rfc1738 section 2.1 for more on this.
225 If you define a protocol \"my-protocol\", `org-protocol-check-filename-for-protocol'
226 will search filenames for \"org-protocol:/my-protocol:/\"
227 and trigger your action for every match. `org-protocol' is defined in
228 `org-protocol-the-protocol'. Double and tripple slashes are compressed
229 to one by emacsclient.
231 function - function that handles requests with protocol and takes exactly one
232 argument: the filename with all protocols stripped. If the function
233 returns nil, emacsclient and -server do nothing. Any non-nil return
234 value is considered a valid filename and thus passed to the server.
236 `org-protocol.el provides some support for handling those filenames,
237 if you stay with the conventions used for the standard handlers in
238 `org-protocol-protocol-alist-default'. See `org-protocol-split-data'.
240 kill-client - If t, kill the client immediately, once the sub-protocol is
241 detected. This is necessary for actions that can be interrupted by
242 `C-g' to avoid dangeling emacsclients. Note, that all other command
243 line arguments but the this one will be discarded, greedy handlers
244 still receive the whole list of arguments though.
