MH-E manual 7.92 released
|
From: Bill W. <wo...@ne...> - 2006-02-25 20:05:49
|
After three years in the making, I am extremely pleased to announce that the first draft of the MH-E manual for MH-E 8.0 is finally ready for review; the manual has been completely reorganized, and has been updated with all of the changes and new features introduced since version 5. Starting with this release, I am now setting the version number of the manual to correspond to the version of the software that it represents. This should make it easier for users to correlate the manual with the software version, and is more in keeping with the versioning I see in the Debian GNU/Linux distribution for example. Since this is the first draft, I encourage all of you to read it and provide any feedback you can. I welcome everything from the minutiae of spelling and grammar nits to sweeping suggestions for organization. Does the order make sense? Are there too many chapters and should some of the chapters be subsections of other chapters? Does the manual answer all the questions you have? Are there places where an example would be useful? My preference would be for you to post bug reports and feature requests at SourceForge. However, feel free to send your comments to the mh-...@li... (gmane.mail.mh-e.user) list if you prefer. You can download the release from our home page and build the Info and/or HTML yourself, or access the manual online via "The MH-E Manual" link also on our home page. Project home page at: http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/. 2006-02-24 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> Release MH-E manual version 7.92. * mh-e.texi (EDITION): Delete. (VERSION, UPDATED, UPDATE-MONTH): Update for release 7.92. (copying): Remove reference to edition now that version of manual corresponds to version of software. (titlepage): Ditto. (Top, contents): Add HTML comments so table of contents isn't duplicated. * fixhtml: Convert to /bin/sh. No longer rename index.html to Table-of-contents.html. Added mh-book prefix to index.html indexes.html which are used by the MH book. No longer need to edit files since we're using the real index.html and can also use stylesheets to set background color to white. * README: Use PDF instead of DVI. Online version now at SourceForge. Update for release 7.92. * Makefile (MH-E-DOCS): Remove index.html indexes.html. Only needed by web site. (default): New default target. Displays usage. (info): New target. Depends on info/mh-e. (mh-e.info): Rename to info/mh-e. Create info directory. (html): New target. Depends on html/index.html. (mh-e.html): Rename to html/index.html. Create and/or clear html directory. (pdf): New target. Depends on pdf/mh-e.pdf. (mh-e.xml): Rename to pdf/mh-e.xml. Create pdf directory. (mh-e.tex): Rename to pdf/mh-e.tex. Use openjade instead of jade. (mh-e.pdf): Rename to pdf/mh-e.pdf. (mh-e.ps, install, install-emacs, install-online, import-emacs) (info, dvi): Delete. * index.html: Rename to mh-book-index.html. * indexes.html: Rename to mh-book-indexes.html. * mh-e.texi: Clean-up editing. In addition to many minor edits and fixes, the following changes were also made: (Conventions, More About MH-E, Ranges) (Folder Selection, Folder Selection, Incorporating Mail) (Reading Mail, Viewing, HTML, Folders, Sending Mail) (Editing Drafts, Aliases, Identities, Speedbar, Tool Bar) (Sequences, Junk, Scan Line Formats, Procmail): Use @c --- separator between @item consistently. If a blank line appears before index entries before @item, then too many blank lines appear in the output. Using @c --- instead of blank lines between items keeps the output looking good. (Processing Mail Tour): Fix prompt. (Leaving MH-E): Document packf for exporting MH mail to avoid "lock-in" (suggested by Mark). (Options): Use combo box instead of combobox. (Reading PGP): Use key server instead of keyserver. (Folders): Describe how to rename folders using dired (suggested by Mark). (Composing): Note that hooks can be set with customize interface. (Adding Attachments): Delete obsolete text about mh-mime-content-types. (Adding Attachments): Move description of mh-mh-to-mime-undo to paragraph with mh-mh-to-mime.

(Identities): Move introduction to top of chapter. (Searching): Put terms on separate lines in body so that it is appropriate for both the search engines and pick. The previous regexp only worked for pick. (MH FAQ and Support): Fix URL to MH FAQ. (Getting MH-E): Document contrib release here and delete Contributed Software chapter. (XXX): Delete chapter. All cross-references now point to an node. (Backmatter): Verify terms in LocalWords list. Move style guide to Developers' Guide. 2006-02-21 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Incorporating Mail): Suggest emacsclient which supports --eval in Emacs 22 instead of gnudoit. (Reading Mail): Delete option mh-show-use-goto-addr-flag. Use option `goto-address-highlight-p' directly instead.

(Tool Bar): Change default value of mh-tool-bar-search-function from mh-search-folder to mh-search. (Searching): Rewrite chapter to align with new code (closes SF #829207). 2006-01-11 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Conventions): Add tcsh to the list of shells that use the ~ notation since this is more popular on Linux than vanilla csh. 2006-01-10 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Conventions): Move description of ~ here from Getting Started. (Getting Started): Update text regarding MH installation and configuration now that MH-E no longer calls install-mh. Delete text about mh-progs et al since the uesr is no longer supposed to modify these (and causes trouble if he does). (Incorporating Mail): Cross-reference to creator of mh-progs. (Using This Manual): Now that all options are changed via the customize interface, remove the description and examples of using setq.

Document missing commands. Add missing menu item index entries. Remove function names in short variable descriptions; keyboard command is enough. Use option/command/function/variable in front of symbol to aid *Help* buffer hyperlinking. Sync docstrings with manual for all commands. 2006-01-01 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Conventions): Add reference to Easy Customization in Emacs Manual. Add face documentation. (Reading Mail, Viewing, Reading PGP, Folders, Editing Drafts) (Editing Message, Speedbar, Searching, Scan Line Formats): Add documentation about faces.

(Folders): Rename mh-index-new-messages-folders to mh-new-messages-folders. Rename mh-index-ticked-messages-folders to mh-ticked-messages-folders. (Reading Mail): Change default of mh-fetch-x-image-url from 'ask to Never Fetch (closes SF #831278). (Folders): Added keys for mh-sort-folder. Sync docstring from mh-sortm-args with manual.

(Leaving MH-E, Adding Attachments, Aliases, Ranges, Junk): Fix typo. (Using This Manual): Use mh-mhl-format-file instead of mhl-formfile. (Reading Mail): Prefer "command @kbd{}" over "@kbd{} command" due to docstring hyperlinking algorithm. (MH-Folder Options): Rename to Miscellaneous Commands and Options and move to end of chapter. (Folders): Delete mh-default-folder-for-message-function. Add mh-recenter-summary-flag. Move mh-folder-mode-hook here from MH-Folder Options. Add mh-folder-updated-hook. Add mh-folder-updated-hook. (Sending Mail): Suggest that customizing mail-user-agent is a good idea. (Threading): New chapter. Needs to be written. (Sequences): Add mh-unseen-updated-hook. (Miscellaneous): Note in introduction that this chapter talks about special buffers too. (Junk): Use bogofilter instead of Bogofilter or BogoFilter. (Scan Line Formats): Use "fontification" instead of "fontifying". (Procmail): Use GnuCash, not gnucash.

Sync docstrings with manual. 2005-11-01 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Sending Mail): Rewrite for current codebase. Sync docstrings with manual. (Aliases, Identities, Searching) (Scan Line Formats): Add draft and regular expression index entries. 2005-10-30 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Scan Line Formats): Updated with feedback from Mark. Added comments in the title matter. (@settitle, @top): Use the full title. (@title): Remove GNU from GNU Emacs since our audience is more than just GNU Emacs users. 2005-10-28 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Viewing, Scan Line Formats): Sync docstrings with manual. Ensure all links are in @uref so that in info they look like "link text (`url')" which are more easily converted to "link text (see URL `url')". 2005-10-27 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Identities): Checkdoc fix. (Scan Line Formats): Rewrite for current codebase. New example. 2005-10-23 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * Makefile (MAKEINFODOCBOOKFLAGS, MAX_TEX_RECURSION, XML_DECL) (PRINT_SS): New variables used by new targets. (mh-e.dvi): Delete. (mh-e.xml, mh-e.tex, mh-e.pdf): New targets that create PDF. * mh-e.texi (Editing Drafts): Rewrite chapter and sync up manual with docstrings. (Incorporating Mail): Small grammatical fix. (Ranges): Rewrite and sync up manual with docstrings. 2005-03-17 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Junk): Added mh-junk-background. 2005-03-16 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Folders): Added mh-catchup, mh-index-search. (Searching): Added information on indexed searches and synced up manual with docstrings. 2005-02-07 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Incorporating Mail): Updated manual to reflect changes in mh-customize.el and synced up manual with docstrings. 2005-02-06 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi: Use @smallexample and @smalllisp consistently throughout chapter. Blank lines between @items were generating extra <p> elements in HTML which caused unsightly gaps in the tables. Replaced blank lines with @c ---- separators. (Aliases): Updated manual to reflect changes in menu items. (Identities): Rewrote chapter and synced up manual with docstrings. 2003-11-03 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (@ref): Convert to @pxref and @xref as much as possible. Added special @urefs to Emacs, Emacs Lisp, and PGG manuals so that readers of the HTML version would have a valid cross-reference (section, chapter): Ensured that the right word was used, depending on whether we're talking about a section or chapter. 2003-11-01 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (cross-references): Fixed cross-references that were no longer pointing to the correct node due to the reshuffling. (editing): Removed terms like "below" and "above" that can easily get out of date. (Reading Mail, Getting Started): Moved mh-lib, mh-lib-progs, mh-progs to Getting Started. 2003-10-29 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi: Added lead-in paragraphs at the beginning of each chapter and before each table of commands and options. Mention customization groups (Indexing): Heavy duty indexing pass. Added missing index entries, removed superfluous index entries (that were covered in a @vtable or @ftable), sorted @*index groups, ensured index entries were consistent. Still need to go through indices and search through text for each item and add index entries for existing entries if useful. (Organizing): Renamed node to Folders. It looks a lot better in the index for the "F" key commands. (Variable Index): Renamed to Option Index. (Key Index): New node for holding keystrokes and moved keystrokes from the command index to the key index. Renamed @findex entries to @kindex as appropriate and renamed @ftable to @table as necessary. (Composing, MH-Folder Options): New sections that contain text from main section of chapter. Before, the menu for the chapter's sections appeared far, far below rather than up near the top under the commands and variables. 2003-10-28 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi: Removed "above" and "below" text. After reorganization, these relative markers were often incorrect. Replaced with cross-references. 2003-10-27 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Viewing): Removed Always Fetch option from mh-fetch-x-image-url (closes SF #831278). (@ftable): Sorted entries. The sort is as follows: punctuation, uppercase single letters, lowercase single letters, control characters, meta characters, multiple letters in alphabetical order. In some cases, the sort wasn't strictly ASCII. For example, SPC (mh-page-msg) reads better before BS (mh-previous-page) and . (mh-show) is better before , (mh-header-display). (@vtable): Sorted entries and pulled hooks into their own @vtables. 2003-10-23 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi: The Great Reorganization. Aligned commands and variables with customization groups. 2003-10-17 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Organizing): Indicate that visiting a folder with unseen messages will just show those unseen messages. Also indicate that visiting a folder with the speedbar works in a similar fashion to mh-visit-folder (closes SF #623373). 2003-10-16 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Top): Removed elisp comment characters (;;) from copyright. (Viewing): Mention that signatures and vCards are rendered in italics. (Reading GPG): Filled paragraph. (Draft Editing): Added new variables from Signature section. Eventually, I'll reorganize so that variables are described in the chapter they are listed. (Signature): Updated with modern-day signature code which means that mh-signature-file-name can be a function, signature separators are added, the signature can be a vCard (closes SF #802720), and mh-letter-insert-signature-hook is now called at the end instead of the beginning of mh-insert-signature. Signatures can now also be inserted with identities. 2003-10-16 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Reading Mail): Use "@samp{+inbox} buffer" instead of "+inbox". (Identities, and others): Use "header field" in index, not "header". (Junk): New section dealing with junk mail. 2003-09-24 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (@table): Converted to @vtable and @ftable as appropriate. Also removed blank lines between @*table and @item and @end *table. The former is to eliminate an unsightly gap; the latter is for consistency. Thought I heard a hobgoblin... (@enumerate): Ditto. * fixhtml (fix_texinfo_html): Substitute index.html for Table-of-Contents.html since we renamed index.html for Table-of-Contents.html. * mh-e.texi (Top): Added warning about using makeinfo 4.6 or greater which is needed to handle the @copying commands. ([vf]table): Removed blank line below these commands as this inserts unsightly whitespace in the document. (Reading Mail): Use ftable instead of table, add findex in quick reference to catch functions, remove now redundant findex and vindex commands in chapter. Removed mh-visible-headers. Renamed mh-invisible-headers to mh-invisible-header-fields. Updated mh-clean-message-header-flag. Added mh-invisible-header-fields-default (closes SF #752045). (Viewing): Updated documentation for mh-visible-headers (removed), mh-invisible-headers (renamed to mh-invisible-header-fields), mh-clean-message-header-flag, and added mh-invisible-header-fields-default (closes SF #752045). * Makefile (TEXI2HTMLFLAGS): Obsolete. Should have removed yesterday. 2003-09-23 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * Makefile (MAKEINFOINFOFLAGS): Renamed from MAKEINFOINFOFLAGS. (MAKEINFOHTMLFLAGS): New variable to hold HTML flags for makeinfo. (all): Removed mh-e.ps target and added clean target. (clean): New target which removes directories created by this Makefile. (mh-e.info): Use MAKEINFOINFOFLAGS. (mh-e.html): Call makeinfo instead of texi2html. This is better for several reasons: makeinfo more actively maintained than texi2html, files are named with the node names instead of magical numbers so assumptions about the filenames can be made (this cleaned up fixhtml and Makefile dramatically), footnotes are on the same page instead of on a single page, the table of contents is prettier, the @vtable and @ftable commands are handled correctly (they were doubled in the indices in texi2html). The only disadvantages I've seen is that the navigation buttons aren't repeated on the bottom of each page and the indices aren't divided by letter. These are minor. Don't depend on html subdirectory, makeinfo creates it. (html): Deleted. Obsolete. * fixhtml: Now that makeinfo is used, no longer need to search each file to see where links should be made. Also, since the filenames now match the node names, many of the links no longer need to be made. (index.html): Rename to Table-of-Contents.html since the MH book assumes a different index.html. (fix_texinfo_html): Downcase body tags. * indexes.html: Use makeinfo filenames for indices instead of link names previously created with fixhtml. s/mh-e_toc.html/Table-of-Contents.html/ to be more consistent with makeinfo naming conventions. * index.html: s/mh-e_toc.html/Table-of-Contents.html/ to be more consistent with makeinfo naming conventions. * mh-e.texi (MH-BOOK-HOME): Changed from http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book to http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book/mh. (Addresses): Replaced @ with at in text. Replaced @host with @stop.spam-abuse.org in examples to minimize spam harvesting. (Profile components): Now contain a trailing colon (:) like header fields. (Sending Mail): Added M-TAB (mh-letter-complete) keybinding, mh-letter-complete-function option. (Aliases): New node that covers how MH-E handles aliases (closes SF #745634). (Draft Editing): Use vtable instead of table. (Organizing): Removed example about creating folder names based upon sender of message now that this is built-in. 2003-08-24 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Viewing): Removed example of shoving mh-update-sequences into mh-show-hook because MH-E now does this by default. (Sending Mail): Moved variable table under command table. Described new method of editing draft (direct editing) and old method via customization (closes SF #745622). 2003-08-19 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Limits): New section which documents the ways of limiting the output of the MH-Folder buffer (closes SF #732823). (header fields): Undid change in version 1.43 where colons in header field names were removed. I had done this originally to reflect RFC 822 and RFC 2822 is still like that. Documentation should remain consistent with the standards. (cc): s/cc/Cc/ in field names and except where cc is literal, as in components files, or function names (Identities): Added some formatting commands and fixed the text about inserting the auto-fields at the beginning now that we no longer do that. 2003-08-18 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Moving Mail, Organizing): Document "F n", "F '", "F q", "mh-index-new-messages-folders, mh-index-ticked-messages-folders (closes SF #718833). (Sequences): Document "'" (closes SF #718833). 2003-08-16 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi: (Reading Mail Tour, Reading Mail): mh-rmail now shows unseen messages as well as new messages from inc, so simply say that mh-rmail doesn't show read messages (closes SF #667542). * mh-e.texi: According to the grant-back clause of the assignment of copyright contract to the FSF, I have relicensed the manual under the GPL. This should allow all MH-E developers, who have also assigned copyright to the FSF, to cut and paste changes between the code and manual freely. This should also remove any issues with the Debian DFSG. While the details still need to be worked out, developers should agree that any changes they make to the manual will be relicensed under the GFDL when they are incorporated into the Emacs version. Until notified otherwise, developers implicitly agree to these terms if they make any changes. * mh-e.texi (Folder Selection) New section that describes how folder names are generated (closes SF #657096, SF #664821). 2003-08-15 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Various Header Fields): Removed colon from header field name. Doesn't seem right in the flow of the text. (Identities): New section to describe multiple personalities or identies code (closes SF #627035, #747890). 2003-08-08 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi: Merged in changes from version 1.14 in CVS Emacs. 2003-08-04 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Ranges): New section that describes what a range is and how to use it. Updated all other sections that used to refer to the use of a prefix argument to specify a sequence to refer to a range instead (closes SF #626361, SF #728638). (footnotes): For some reason, all of the footnotes were off in their own world. I moved them within the sentence's punctuation. (Organizing): Added info about speedbar (closes SF #503727). (references): Moved indexing commands before @item throughout so that item heading would appear on the page when clicking on an index entry. (variables): Boolean variables now end with -flag (closes SF #627015). 2003-08-01 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Using This Manual): Renamed from Introduction. (Reading Mail): Mentioned that keybindings work in the MH-Show buffer too (closes SF #493749). 2003-07-31 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Viewing): Added verbiage for viewing X-Face header field and friends (closes SF #480770). (Picture): New section that tells how to add X-Face header field and friends (closes SF #480770). (Sending GPG): Moved under Draft Editing. (Inserting Letter): Added word about filling paragraphs with `mh-ins-buf-prefix' (closes SF #489927). (Recipients, Sending Message, Organizing, Sequences): Mentioned various buffer names that the varous commands use. Added cross-references to the Miscellaneous chapter (closes SF #493170). (Miscellaneous): Added cross-references from the buffer names to the sections whose commands use those buffers (closes SF #493170). (Introduction, Miscellaneous): Added info about quick help (with "?" and "C-c ?" keys) and *MH-E Help* buffer (closes SF #493740). 2003-07-29 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Reading GPG, Sending GPG): New sections (closes SF #405625). (Reading Mailing Lists Effectively): Fixed examples. (Using MH-E): Renamed to Introduction and made subsections of this chapter bonafide chapters. (Reading HTML): New section that discusses MH-E's ability to display HTML (closes SF #453352). 2003-07-26 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Reading Mailing Lists Effectively): New section. Talks about using procmail to incorporate mail from mailing lists and using MH-E and Gnus to read it (closes SF #405611). (Miscellaneous): Added information about the various MH-E buffers. 2003-07-17 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Scan Line Formats): Updated with font lock changes (closes SF #405606). Faces not yet documented. 2003-06-24 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Top): Make it clear that this version is not to be touched. Even with a 10-foot pole. (Miscellaneous Commands): Renamed to Miscellaneous Commands, Variables, and Buffers. New MH-E buffers documented. 2003-04-24 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi: Some reformatting with a single space after periods, or just plain filling. (Top): Upcase MH-E in title. Set VERSION to 7.3, UPDATED and UPDATED-MONTH to 24 April 2003. Set MH-E-HOME to http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/. Updated Copyright. (MH FAQ): Renamed to MH FAQ and Support. Added link to MH FAQ. Added link to MH-E SourceForge support. (Getting MH-E): Don't reiterate install info; reference README instead. Also, mh-version now autoloads, so don't have to run any other command first. 2002-10-31 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * Makefile, README, fixhtml, index.html, indexes.html, mh-e.texi: Replaced mh-e with MH-E. 2002-10-11 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * Makefile (EMACS_HOME): Set default to $(TOP)/../emacs so it would be useful. Also use ?= instead of ifndef which is apparently more portable. 2002-04-08 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * mh-e.texi (Sending Mail): Updated footnote about draft folders per a user's suggestion. 2001-12-29 Bill Wohler <wo...@ph...> *mh-e.texi: First phase of mh-e version 6.0 coverage. Removed a space between a texinfo command and the opening brace. Replaced @code with @command, @samp, etc. as appropriate (closes SF #405618). Documented mh-lib-progs (closes SF #405615). Backed out quick reference guide. Moved mherg.html into Texinfo. However, upon further reflection, I think the existing format already serves as a quick reference guide, and I don't think that the extra tables will be worth the extra maintenance effort. I'm therefore saving this version, but will be removing the tables in the next check-in. I won't undo the entire check-in as there were a couple of other small, cosmetic changes I want to keep (closes SF #405610). Moved Scan Line Formats up a level as its location in Organizing was not obvious enough (closes SF #405608). Added example for mh-quit-hook (closes SF #405565). Put the references to the MH book back in (closes SF #405549). Rewrote MIME section to make more clear (closes SF #405547 and #446471) and to include new functionality in 6.0. Call Emacs Lisp functions functions, not commands. Indeed, they were already called functions throughout, except in a short discussion of terminology. Updated screen shots for Emacs 21. Also fixed up line lines within these screen shots so that they wouldn't extend past the limits of the cartouche in the DVI file. Improved continuity between commands and configuration. Simply filled all the paragraphs to make later changes less apparent in the diffs. I believe the only difference is that sentence-end-double-space is now nil. Initial pass at merging Chapters 2 and 3. Chapters are merged, but editing reminas to be done to improve the flow (closes SF #405605). * indexes.html: Downcased HTML tags. Removed <link> tag. Removed mention of Quick Reference Guide, which has been removed. Removed <address> and mailto tags. Spam prevention. * index.html: Downcased HTML tags. Removed <link> tag. Removed mention of Quick Reference Guide, which has been removed, and Preface, which is redundant (with Table of Contents). Put Table of Contents and Index links on their own line to avoid folding. Removed <address> and mailto tags. Spam prevention. * fixhtml: No longer use mherg.html. * mherg.html: Removed. Too much hassle to maintain and beginning of each chapter in Using mh-e is a quick reference already. * Makefile: Added a README to the tarball and made the user of the Makefile targets more obvious to make the installation more clear (closes SF #481769). No longer use mherg.html. (%.info): Removed .. from settitle (in order to run M-x makeinfo-buffer, so no longer have to cd into info before running makeinfo. (%.html): Don't need to recursively delete files. Also, fixhtml copies index.html, indexes.html and mherg.html into html, so don't need to do it in the Makefile. * README: New file to let users know what they should do with this tarball. 2001-12-16 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * Makefile (dist, install-online, %.html): Replaced $(RM) with rm -rf (closes SF #488661). (import-emacs): New, yet unimplemented, target. 2001-11-11 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * fixhtml: Slight changes in titles for texi2html 1.65. 2001-02-19 Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> * Makefile (EMACS): Renamed to EMACS_HOME. Also, don't define if EMACS_HOME already exists to give developer a chance to set environment variable. (all): Build mh-e.html, mh-e.info, and mh-e.ps by default. -- Bill Wohler <wo...@ne...> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and MH-E. Vote Libertarian!
