Subject: bug#19291: 25.0.50; Command that returns URL to current Info node on the web
Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2014 11:37:47 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a1507c9e-0636-4647-a3a7-6561295da169@default> (raw)
This is an enhancement request. See this emacs-devel post and its
(short) followup:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-12/msg00624.html
The idea is this:
The Emacs, Elisp, and Emacs Lisp Intro manuals are mirrored by GNU on
the web, and one version of the manuals uses a separate HTML page for
each Info node.
The request is to have an Info-mode Emacs command that returns the URL
of the GNU web page that corresponds to the current Info node. For
example, if I am in (emacs) `Mark' and I invoke the command then it
returns the URL
"http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Mark.html".
Among other things, this would facilitate pointing users from email or
from other web pages (e.g., Stack Exchange Q&A) to a particular manual
page on the web.
