;;; info-xref.el --- Cross references in an Info document -*- lexical-binding:  t -*-

;;; Commentary:

;; This is some simple checking of external cross references in info files,
;; docstrings and custom-links by attempting to visit the nodes specified.
;;
;; `M-x info-xref-check' checks a single info file.  See the docstring for
;; details.
;;
;; `M-x info-xref-check-all' checks all info files in Info-directory-list.
;; This is a good way to check the consistency of the whole system.
;;
;; `M-x info-xref-check-all-custom' loads up all defcustom variables and
;; checks any info references in them.
;;
;; `M-x info-xref-docstrings' checks docstring "Info node ..." hyperlinks in
;; source files (and other files).

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;; This library provides links of symbols (functions, variables,
;; faces) within Emacs' Info viewer to their builtin help
;; documentation.  This linking is done, when the symbol names in
;; texinfo documentations (like the Emacs- and Elisp manual) are

;; 1. Quoted symbol names like `quoted-symbol' or:

;; 2. Function names are prefixed by M-x, for example M-x
;; function-name or are quoted and prefixed like `M-x function-name'.

;; 3. Function names appearing behind the following forms, which
;; occur, for example, in the Elisp manual:

;;   -- Special Form: function-name
;;   -- Command:
;;   -- Function:
;;   -- Macro:

;; 4. And variables names behind the following text:

;;   -- User Option: variable-name
;;   -- Variable:

;; In any case all symbol names must be known to Emacs, i.e. their
;; names are found in the variable `obarray'.

;; You can follow the additional links with the usual Info
;; keybindings.  The customisation variable
;; `mouse-1-click-follows-link' is influencing the clicking behavior
;; (and the tooltips) of the links, the variable's default is 450
;; (milli seconds) setting it to nil means only clicking with mouse-2
;; is following the link (hint: Drew Adams).

;; The link color of symbols - referencing their builtin documentation
;; - is distinct from links which are referencing further Info
;; documentation.

;; Inform is checking if the Info documents are relevant Elisp and
;; Emacs related files to avoid false positives.  Please see the
;; customization variable `inform-none-emacs-or-elisp-documents'.

;; The code uses mostly mechanisms from Emacs' lisp/help-mode.el file.

;;; Change Log:

;; 1.3:

;; Inform is checking if the Info documents are relevant Elisp and
;; Emacs related files to avoid false positives.

;; 1.2:

;; Link Elisp descriptions of symbols to their help documentation,
;; like the following function example: -- Function: eval form

;; Distinguish color of texinfo links (`link' type) and Help links
;; (`font-lock-function-name-face')

;;; TODO:

;; Currently inconsistent link colors to help buffers: In *info*
;; different as in *Help* buffers!

;; Check the application `inform-xref-symbol-regexp' for additional
;; symbol prefixes without quoting of symbol-names

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; Does the following belong to customize.el?

;; Generalise linking to "customization buffers" for the "easy
;; customization" info documentation see also the customization
;; section in the elisp manual

;; - distinguish the Customization-links from Help- and Info-links
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;;; Ideas:

;; Link the help buffers back to higher level info manual subjects,
;; similar to help-fns+.el from Drew Adams.

;; Twice clicking or RETurning removes *Help* buffer (idea: Drew
;; Adams)

;; Different colors for different symbol types (idea: Drew Adams) see
;; package helpful and info+ / info-colors on Melpa and see
;; font-lock.el for common faces.

;; - Do we need to indicate an already visited Help link with a
;;   different color?

;; - Would it be be good to overtake all colors of package
;;   "info-colors"?

;; - Do we need to distinguish the link FONTS? No, difficult to read!

;; Back / Forward button in help buffer - back to info buffer or
;; remain in help mode?

;; Linking of standard symbol properties?

;; - (info "(elisp) Standard Properties")

;;  Elisp manual examples:
;;       (symbol-name 'car) ... ?

;; Shortening the verbose texinfo URLs?  But how to handle the changed
;; indentation?

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;;; History:

;; Version 3 - new M-x info-xref-docstrings, use compilation-mode

;;; Code:

(require 'info)
(eval-when-compile (require 'cl-lib))   ; for `cl-incf'

(defgroup info-xref nil
  "Check external cross-references in Info documents."
  :group 'docs)                         ; FIXME right parent?

;; Should this even be an option?
(defcustom info-xref-case-fold nil
  "Non-nil means node checks should ignore case.
When following cross-references, the Emacs Info reader first tries a
case-sensitive match, then if that fails a case-insensitive one.
The standalone Info reader does not do this, nor does this work
for links in the html versions of Texinfo manuals.  Therefore
to ensure your cross-references work on the widest range of platforms,
you should set this variable to nil."

Interactively from an `Info-mode' or `texinfo-mode' buffer the

Results are shown in a `compilation-mode' buffer.  The format is
a bit rough, but there shouldn't be many problems normally.  The
file:line:column: is the info document, but of course normally
any correction should be made in the original .texi file.
Finding the right place in the .texi is a manual process.

When a target info file doesn't exist there's obviously no way to
validate node references within it.  A message is given for
missing target files once per source document.  It could be
simply that you don't have the target installed, or it could be a
mistake in the reference.

Indirect info files are understood, just pass the top-level
foo.info to `info-xref-check' and it traverses all sub-files.
Compressed info files are accepted too as usual for `Info-mode'.

\"makeinfo\" checks references internal to an info document, but
not external references, which makes it rather easy for mistakes
to creep in or node name changes to go unnoticed.
`Info-validate' doesn't check external references either."
