List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: emacs-devel-bounces+ged-emacs-devel=m.gmane-mx.org@gnu.org Original-Sender: "Emacs-devel" Xref: news.gmane.io gmane.emacs.devel:287541 Archived-At: Sadly putting the examples in README is not very helpful since installing your package from melpa doesn't appear to bring down the README; one shouldn't need to click through to Github to find out how to use it if one has installed the package. Also, a README that says "it's like JQuery but far less useful" is likely to chase away any users --- yes I understand the need for humility and to not over-promise but this is perhaps going a bit to far --- why not try to at least have the goal of making it as useful as JQuery? Alternatively just write an elisp wrapper that calls JQuery:-) "T.V Raman" writes: > Took a look at elquery since I'm generally interested in anything that > can help me get useful data out of HTML soup. > > A couple of thoughts: > > 1. elquery could do with a function that allows one to specify a URL to > work on, rather than the two read-file and read-string that it > currently provides --- so elquery-read-from-url > > 2. A few usage examples would make it easier to start with the package. --=20 Thanks, --Raman(I Search, I Find, I Misplace, I Research) =817=A94 Id: kg:/m/0285kf1 =950=DC8
