Dictionary look-up hack for w3m
|
|
|
|
1. INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
If you have dictionary look-up command (like 'webster'), you can
|
|
look a word in a document using w3m. This dictionary-lookup code
|
|
was contributed by `Rubikitch' (rubikitch@ruby-lang.org), and
|
|
further modifed by Tushar Samant (scribble at pobox.com).
|
|
|
|
2. INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
To make use of dictionary look-up, you currently must change a
|
|
compile option by hand. After running configure, edit config.h
|
|
and change
|
|
|
|
#undef USE_DICT
|
|
|
|
to
|
|
|
|
#define USE_DICT
|
|
|
|
and recompile w3me (i.e. type "make install").
|
|
Note that w3m/0.3+cvs-1.373 or later, USE_DICT is defined by default.
|
|
|
|
Then find or install a CGI program which takes a word as a query
|
|
string and prints a response.
|
|
|
|
Some ways to do this would be:
|
|
|
|
* If you have the 'webster' command, put something like this
|
|
in a script called 'w3mdict':
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
echo Content-type: text/plain
|
|
echo
|
|
webster $QUERY_STRING
|
|
|
|
Then install w3mdict as a local CGI (see the local CGI section
|
|
of the w3m manual), and set your dictionary options from the
|
|
options page of w3m (usually invoked with "o").
|
|
|
|
* If you want this function to look a word up on Google instead,
|
|
write a local CGI script like this:
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
google_q='http://google.com/search?btnG=Google&q'
|
|
|
|
cat <<_END_
|
|
Content-type: text/plain
|
|
W3m-control: GOTO $google_q=$QUERY_STRING
|
|
W3m-control: DELETE_PREVBUF
|
|
|
|
_END_
|
|
|
|
and set its path as your dictionary-lookup URL option.
|
|
|
|
3. USAGE
|
|
|
|
You can use the following two commands:
|
|
|
|
ESC w Input a word and look it up using w3mdict command.
|
|
|
|
ESC W look up the current word in the buffer.
|
|
|
|
To change these keys, edit ~/.w3m/keymap and edit lines for the
|
|
functions DICT_WORD and DICT_WORD_AT respectively.
