url and email adress

url and email adress

[Mahdi Osman]

Dear list,

I have been using xemacs as GUI for R and S Plus. I am also writing some of
my short texts and handy memos in text mode or enriched. In the body of my
text I have got "url adresses" and "email adresses". I want xemacs to
highlight these items in the body of my text so that I can quicly find them
at a glance. I tried this in "html-mode" but I was unsuccessful.

Would appreciate if someone can help with this.


Many thanks in advance

Regards

Mahdi

You could use `goto-address':

    goto-address is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `goto-addr'.
    (goto-address)

    Sets up goto-address functionality in the current buffer.
    Allows user to use mouse/keyboard command to click to go to a URL
    or to send e-mail.
    By default, goto-address binds to mouse-2 and C-c RET.

    Also fontifies the buffer appropriately (see `goto-address-fontify-p' and
    `goto-address-highlight-p' for more information).
