* Description:
Pinfo is an info file viewer. It was created, when I
was very depressed, trying to read gtk info entries
using the standard tools. Pinfo is similar in use to lynx.
It has similar key movements, and gives similar intuition.
You just move across info nodes, and select links, follow
them... Well, you know how it is when you view html with
lynx. :)
It supports as many colors, as it could.
Pinfo also supports viewing of manual pages -- they're
colorised like in the midnight commander's viewer, and
additionaly they are hypertextualized (i.e. when pinfo
encounters a reference of form manualname (n), then you
can press enter there, and voila -- you're on the page
for `manualname'.
Keyboard and colors are fully configurable.
Pinfo supports URL's embedded into info documents and man
pages. To be precise, supported URL's are mailto, ftp, http.
* What's new since the last version announced here?
0.5.1 Added support for mailto urls
Fixed highlighting routines for info pages, which ignored
tabulation formatting.
Added key_pgdn(up)_auto for automatic going to the next(previous)
node at the bottom(top) of viewed node. Also added support for
0 key value.
Fixed one bug in $INFOPATH handler.
Added support for hypertextualization of weird man sections
(i.e. 3X11, 3Xt, etc. -- it's configurable)
Config file allows you now to specify your web browser, and
maileditor.
Added national language support for Swedish and Czech.
0.5.0 Added support for http:// and ftp:// URLs embedded into
man pages/info pages.
Secured the mechanism of tmp file creation
Added optional highlight for `quoted' text in info files
Moved to configure (autoconf, automake)!
Fixed sigsegv by regexp searchs.
Added support for infos not ending with `.info*' suffix
Added new feature to key_goto -- now when you pass there
a name, ending with `.info', then key_goto will move you not
to specified node, but to specified info document.
Locale support now is working (see at the example with polish
translation).
Added key_dir
Fixed support for xterm mouse.
0.4.9 Corrected global search code for inirect info files (that is
those, split up across several info files). It works fine now.
0.4.8 You can now browse man pages from different sections.
