Gnus/5.110006 (No Gnus v0.6) Emacs/22.0.98 (gnu/linux) |
Changes in wtf.el version 2.0:
- Add the `wtf-custom-alist' option, the `wtf-add' interactive
function to add acronyms to it, and the `wtf-remove' interactive
function to remove acronyms from it. Thanks to Andreas Roehler
for the suggestion.
- Add a few acronyms that were scavenged from various forum FAQ
pages.
- Handle multiple definitions for a single acronym more
intuitively. The text separator used in this case may be changed
by customizing the `wtf-def-separator' option.

;;; Commentary:
;; wtf.el provides the ability to look up the definitions of popular
;; conversational and computing acronyms.
;; * Use:
;;
;; To use this, move to an unknown acronym in a buffer and type
;; the following:
;;
;; M-x wtf-is RET
;;
;; The `wtf-is' function may also be called noninteractively, and it
;; will return a string (or nil) rather than displaying a message.
;;
;; To add a custom acronym definition, either customize
;; `wtf-custom-alist' or do:
;;
;; M-x wtf-add RET <acronym> RET <definition> RET
;;
;; To remove a custom acronym definition, or mark a pre-defined
;; acronym as "removed" in the case that no custom acronym definition
;; exists in `wtf-custom-alist' for that acronym, do:
;;
;; M-x wtf-remove RET <acronym> RET
;;
;; To mark a pre-defined acronym as "removed", without checking first
;; to see whether it is in `wtf-custom-alist', customize the
;; `wtf-removed-acronyms' option.
;;
;; If you add a custom acronym definition, and feel it to be worth
;; sharing, you are encouraged to contact <address@hidden> via email,
;; providing the acronym and its definition. This increases the
;; chance that it will appear in future versions of wtf.el.
;; * Legalese:
;;
;; Many of the acronym definitions were downloaded from
;; http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/share/misc/. No copyright
;; notice was included, but the intent of the original author was to
;; put these acronym definitions in the public domain. This was
;; deduced from several emails sent to the authors of these files.
;; Additionally, the original data files use a specific syntax which
;; does not allow for a copyright notice.
;;
;; The original program that uses these files in NetBSD
;; (http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/games/wtf/wtf) is in the
;; public domain.
;; * Acknowledgments:
;;
;; Thanks to Trent Buck for `emacs-wiki-wtf.el', which inspired the
;; creation of `wtf.el'.
;;; History:
;; 2.0:
;;
;; - Add the `wtf-custom-alist' option, the `wtf-add' interactive
;; function to add acronyms to it, and the `wtf-remove' interactive
;; function to remove acronyms from it. Thanks to Andreas Roehler
;; for the suggestion.
;;
;; - Add a few acronyms that were scavenged from various forum FAQ
;; pages.
;;
;; - Handle multiple definitions for a single acronym more
;; intuitively. The text separator used in this case may be changed
;; by customizing the `wtf-def-separator' option.
;; 1.1-1.4:
;;
;; - Fix a bug with completions in Emacs 21, thanks to Ehud Karni.
;;
;; - Add additional acronyms and re-sync with the NetBSD acronym list.
;; 1.0: Initial release.
