# Browser for "Info files" as used by the Emacs documentation system. # # Now you can read Info files even if you can't spare the memory, time or # disk space to run Emacs. (I have used this extensively on a Macintosh # with 1 Megabyte main memory and a 20 Meg harddisk.) # # You can give this to someone with great fear of complex computer # systems, as long as they can use a mouse. # # Another reason to use this is to encourage the use of Info for on-line # documentation of software that is not related to Emacs or GNU. # (In particular, I plan to redo the Python and STDWIN documentation # in texinfo.) # NB: this is not a self-executing script. You must startup Python, # import ibrowse, and call ibrowse.main(). On UNIX, the script 'ib' # runs the browser. # Configuration: # # - The pathname of the directory (or directories) containing # the standard Info files should be set by editing the # value assigned to INFOPATH in module ifile.py. # # - The default font should be set by editing the value of FONT # in this module (ibrowse.py). # # - For fastest I/O, you may look at BLOCKSIZE and a few other # constants in ifile.py. # This is a fairly large Python program, split in the following modules: # # ibrowse.py Main program and user interface. # This is the only module that imports stdwin. # # ifile.py This module knows about the format of Info files. # It is imported by all of the others. # # itags.py This module knows how to read prebuilt tag tables, # including indirect ones used by large texinfo files. # # icache.py Caches tag tables and visited nodes. # XXX There should really be a different tutorial, as the user interface # XXX differs considerably from Emacs... import sys import regexp import stdwin from stdwinevents import * import string from ifile import NoSuchFile, NoSuchNode import icache # Default font. # This should be an acceptable argument for stdwin.setfont(); # on the Mac, this can be a pair (fontname, pointsize), while # under X11 it should be a standard X11 font name. # For best results, use a constant width font like Courier; # many Info files contain tabs that don't align with other text # unless all characters have the same width. # #FONT = ('Monaco', 9) # Mac FONT = '-schumacher-clean-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1' # X11 # Try not to destroy the list of windows when reload() is used. # This is useful during debugging, and harmless in production... # try: dummy = windows del dummy except NameError: windows = [] # Default main function -- start at the '(dir)' node. # def main(): start('(dir)') # Start at an arbitrary node. # The default file is 'ibrowse'. # def start(ref): stdwin.setdefscrollbars(0, 1) stdwin.setfont(FONT) stdwin.setdefwinsize(76*stdwin.textwidth('x'), 22*stdwin.lineheight()) makewindow('ibrowse', ref) mainloop() # Open a new browser window. # Arguments specify the default file and a node reference # (if the node reference specifies a file, the default file is ignored). # def makewindow(file, ref): win = stdwin.open('Info file Browser, by Guido van Rossum') win.mainmenu = makemainmenu(win) win.navimenu = makenavimenu(win) win.textobj = win.textcreate((0, 0), win.getwinsize()) win.file = file win.node = '' win.last = [] win.pat = '' win.dispatch = idispatch win.nodemenu = None win.footmenu = None windows.append(win) imove(win, ref) # Create the 'Ibrowse' menu for a new browser window. # def makemainmenu(win): mp = win.menucreate('Ibrowse') mp.callback = [] additem(mp, 'New window (clone)', 'K', iclone) additem(mp, 'Help (tutorial)', 'H', itutor) additem(mp, 'Command summary', '?', isummary) additem(mp, 'Close this window', 'W', iclose) additem(mp, '', '', None) additem(mp, 'Copy to clipboard', 'C', icopy) additem(mp, '', '', None) additem(mp, 'Search regexp...', 'S', isearch) additem(mp, '', '', None) additem(mp, 'Reset node cache', '', iresetnodecache) additem(mp, 'Reset entire cache', '', iresetcache) additem(mp, '', '', None) additem(mp, 'Quit', 'Q', iquit) return mp # Create the 'Navigation' menu for a new browser window. # def makenavimenu(win): mp = win.menucreate('Navigation') mp.callback = [] additem(mp, 'Menu item...', 'M', imenu) additem(mp, 'Follow reference...', 'F', ifollow) additem(mp, 'Go to node...', 'G', igoto) additem(mp, '', '', None) additem(mp, 'Next node in tree', 'N', inext) additem(mp, 'Previous node in tree', 'P', iprev) additem(mp, 'Up in tree', 'U', iup) additem(mp, 'Last visited node', 'L', ilast) additem(mp, 'Top of tree', 'T', itop) additem(mp, 'Directory node', 'D', idir) return mp # Add an item to a menu, and a function to its list of callbacks. # (Specifying all in one call is the only way to keep the menu # and the list of callbacks in synchrony.) # def additem(mp, text, shortcut, function): if shortcut: mp.additem(text, shortcut) else: mp.additem(text) mp.callback.append(function) # Stdwin event processing main loop. # Return when there are no windows left. # Note that windows not in the windows list don't get their events. # def mainloop(): while windows: event = stdwin.getevent() if event[1] in windows: try: event[1].dispatch(event) except KeyboardInterrupt: # The user can type Control-C (or whatever) # to leave the browser without closing # the window.
