Adding to a submenu under the HTML menu

Adding to a submenu under the HTML menu

[ken]

I want to add some German characters to the "Insert Character Entities"
submenu under the "HTML" menu.  Yes, there's a lot of docs on
customizing menus, but I can't figure out the current code so don't know
which docs are applicable.  Would anyone know how to add a few nice
characters to that submenu?

TNX.

What HTML mode are you using?  `C-h v major-mode' to check.

The html-mode defined in sgml-mode.el distributed with Emacs 21 does not
have an "Insert Character Entities" submenu.

html-helper-mode

It probably doesn't matter, but this is emacs v. 21.3.1.

This one definitely does.  I've looked at it dozens of times.


Thanks,

I guess you're using html-helper-mode.

Quoting from html-helper-mode.el :
html-helper-add-tag (l)
  "Add a new tag to html-helper-mode.
  Builds a tempo-template for the tag and puts it into the
  appropriate keymap if a key is requested. Format:
  `(html-helper-add-tag '(type keybinding completion-tag menu-name
  template doc)'
  [...]

So you could try in a *scratch buffer* :
  (html-helper-add-tag
    '(entity "\C-c%"   "ç" "C cédille" ("ç")))
  (html-helper-rebuild-menu)
After evaluating, it should appear automatically in the HTML menu.

If its's OK, put it in your .emacs, for example in a
html-helper-load-hook. For more details and examples, have a look at
html-helper-mode.el.

Marvelous!  Works perfect.  Thanks very much, François.

Makes sense....  I've done that before, but with only one function, like

(add-hook 'html-helper-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)

I found and adapted some code, but my block of several entries shows up
in the menu multiple times-- more than enough times to make the submenu
extend from the top of the screen to the bottom.

(add-hook 'html-helper-mode-hook
;  (function
(quote
   (lambda ()
     (html-helper-add-tag
      '(entity "\C-c%"   "&ccedil;" "C cédille" ("&ccedil;")))

     (html-helper-add-tag
      '(entity "\C-cD"   "&#135;" "double dagger (&#135;)" ("&#135;")))

     (html-helper-add-tag
      '(entity "\C-cd"   "&#134;" "dagger (&#134;)" ("&#134;")))

     (html-helper-add-tag	; Scharfes S
      '(entity "\C-cs"   "&szlig;" "eszett ß (&szlig;)" ("&szlig;"))) 

     (html-helper-add-tag
      '(entity "\C-cU"   "&Uuml;" "Ü (&Uuml;)" ("&Uuml;")))
     (html-helper-add-tag
      '(entity "\C-cO"   "&Ouml;" "Ö (&Ouml;)" ("&Ouml;")))
;     (html-helper-add-tag
;      '(entity "\C-cI"   "&Iuml;" "Ï (&Iuml;)" ("&Iuml;")))
     (html-helper-add-tag
      '(entity "\C-cE"   "&Euml;" "Ë (&Euml;)" ("&Euml;")))
     (html-helper-add-tag
      '(entity "\C-cA"   "&Auml;" "Ä (&Auml;)" ("&Auml;")))
     
     (html-helper-add-tag
      '(entity "\C-cu"   "&uuml;" "ü (&uuml;)" ("&uuml;")))
     (html-helper-add-tag
      '(entity "\C-co"   "&ouml;" "ö (&ouml;)" ("&ouml;")))
;     (html-helper-add-tag
;      '(entity "\C-ci"   "&iuml;" "ï (&iuml;)" ("&iuml;")))
     (html-helper-add-tag
      '(entity "\C-ce"   "&euml;" "ë (&euml;)" ("&euml;")))
     (html-helper-add-tag
      '(entity "\C-ca"   "&auml;" "ä (&auml;)" ("&auml;")))
     (html-helper-rebuild-menu))))

The problem, I'm fairly certain has to do with the placement of
(html-helper-rebuild-menu) and I've tried putting it in different
places, even within a separate "(add-hook 'html-helper-mode-hook
'html-helper-rebuild-menu)" but none gave satisfactory results.  I could
be missing some syntax-- perhaps some quoting?--, but I really have no
idea what it might be.


Thanks very much for any further help,
ken

In fact the problem is that you used the wrong hook. I you read above
carefully, you'll find that I suggested to use html-helper-load-hook.
Yet you used html-helper-mode-hook. A load-hook is evaluated once (when
the file is loaded) whereas a mode-hook might be evaluated several times
(in fact, each time you enter the mode).

So you should write something like:
(defun my-html-load-hook ()
  (mapcar                         ; just to avoid repeating hh-add-tag
   'html-helper-add-tag
   '(
     (entity "\C-c%"   "ç" "C cédille" ("ç"))
     (entity "\C-cD"   "‡" "double dagger (‡)" ("‡"))
     ;; and so on
     ))
  (html-helper-rebuild-menu))
(add-hook 'html-helper-load-hook 'my-html-load-hook)

Hope it helps.

Obviously a cut-n-paste malfunction.  :)

Works perfectly.  I would have never figured all this
out.  Merci vielmals.
