linking to emacs info nodes? Multiline comments?

linking to emacs info nodes? Multiline comments?

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 448 bytes --]

Hi

is there an easy way to insert links to the emacs info manuals?

the following works for commands only

[[elisp:(Info-goto-emacs-command-node "Info-goto-emacs-command-node")][Info
goto emacs command node]]

BTW: whats the recommended way to insert multi-line comments in elisp code?

ATM I'm assigning a string to a dummy variable, with the drawback that
doublequotes are forbidden:

(setq org "
  yadda yadda
")

Thanks for any help :)
  Rolf

Hi Rolf,

Org has links to Info already. In an info buffer use org-store-link
(often bound to C-c l), then back in org use C-c C-l (org-insert-link).

elisp doesn't have any special mechanism other than ; at beginning of
line. But you know about M-; and M-q? Select a region of multiple lines,
M-; comments it all out (or uncomments if commented), M-q tidies it up,
keeping comment chars in correct place.

Assuming you have done the standard keybindings (C-c l for org-store-link everywhere
- see section 1.3, "Activation", in the Org manual for more details):

Visit the info node of interest, do C-c l to store the link, then visit an org
file and do C-c C-l to insert the link.

Here is an example of what was inserted, when I tried the above procedure
on the indicated Info node:

[[info:org:Processing%20LaTeX%20fragments][Processing LaTeX fragments]]

I don't understand the context (why do you have to define a variable exactly?),
but you can include double quotes in a lisp string by escaping it with a backslash:

(setq org "
 yadda \"yadda\"
")

see section 2.3.8.1, "Syntax for Strings" in the Elisp manual.

HTH,

I do it this way:

1.  C-h i
2.  Navigate to the desirec node
3.  C-c l
4.  Switch to the Org-mode buffer I want to insert the info link in.
5.  C-c C-l UP RET RET


On my system
       `C-c l'   is bound to `org-store-link'
   and `C-c C-l' is bound to `org-insert-link'.

I think those are the defaults, but you might need to set `C-c l'
globally to make it work in any mode.

There no special multiline comments.

 (setq org "\n   yadda yadda\n ")

Thanx, linking works! :)

Anyway this Link-To-Info syntax doesn't seem to be documented on the web
page...

http://orgmode.org/manual/External-links.html#External-links

I was trying to embed org-mode (and other) syntax in lisp-code.
