+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; WebJump provides a sort of ``programmable hotlist'' of Web sites that can
+;; quickly be invoked in your Web browser. Each Web site in the hotlist has a
+;; name, and you select the desired site name via a completing string prompt in
+;; the minibuffer. The URL for each Web site is defined as a static string or
+;; a built-in or custom function, allowing interactive prompting for
+;; site-specific queries and options.
+
+;; Note that WebJump was originally intended to complement your conventional
+;; browser-based hotlist, not replace it. (Though there's no reason you
+;; couldn't use WebJump for your entire hotlist if you were so inclined.)
+
+;; The `webjump-sites' variable, which defines the hotlist, defaults to some
+;; example sites. You'll probably want to override it with your own favorite
+;; sites. The documentation for the variable describes the syntax.
+
+;; You may wish to add something like the following to your `.emacs' file:
+;;
+;; (require 'webjump)
+;; (global-set-key "\C-cj" 'webjump)
+;; (setq webjump-sites
+;; (append '(
+;; ("My Home Page" . "www.someisp.net/users/joebobjr/")
+;; ("Pop's Site" . "www.joebob-and-son.com/")
+;; )
+;; webjump-sample-sites))
+;;
+;; The above loads this package, binds `C-c j' to invoke WebJump, and adds your
+;; personal favorite sites to the hotlist.
+
+;; The `webjump-sample-sites' variable mostly contains some site entries that
+;; are expected to be generally relevant to many users, but excluding
+;; those that the GNU project would not want to recommend.
+
+;; The `browse-url' package is used to submit URLs to the browser, so any
+;; browser-specific configuration should be done there.

+ "*Hotlist for WebJump.
+
+The hotlist is represented as an association list, with the CAR of each cell
+being the name of the Web site, and the CDR being the definition for the URL of
+that site. The URL definition can be a string (the URL), a vector (specifying
+a special \"builtin\" which returns a URL), a symbol (name of a function which
+returns a URL), or a list (which when `eval'ed yields a URL).
+
+If the URL definition is a vector, then a \"builtin\" is used. A builtin has a
+Lisp-like syntax, with the name as the first element of the vector, and any
+arguments as the following elements. The three current builtins are `name',
+which returns the name of the site as the URL, `simple-query', which
+returns a URL that is a function of a query entered by the user, and `mirrors',
+which allows the user to select from among multiple mirror sites for the same
+content.
+
+The first argument to the `simple-query' builtin is a static URL to use if the
+user enters a blank query. The second and third arguments are the prefix and
+suffix, respectively, to add to the encoded query the user enters. This
+builtin covers Web sites that have single-string searches with the query
+embedded in the URL.
+
+The arguments to the `mirrors' builtin are URLs of mirror sites.
+
+If the symbol of a function is given, then the function will be called with the
+Web site name (the one you specified in the CAR of the alist cell) as a
+parameter. This might come in handy for various kludges.
+
+For convenience, if the `http://', `ftp://', or `file://' prefix is missing
+from a URL, WebJump will make a guess at what you wanted and prepend it before
+submitting the URL.")
