description

This plugin provides vim with web browsing and html formatting capabilities. It includes support for history, bookmarks, text highlighting and more. The main motivation is browsing documentation available in html, so don't expect to see any flash animation :) The plugin is implemented using vim's ability to embed perl, so you will need to have a perl enabled version of vim to use it. In addition, several perl modules are required. The full details are in the INSTALL file. Documentation is available in pod form in 'browser.pod', and as a usual vim help file. I wrote and tested it with vim version 6.3 and perl 5.8.4 on linux. I expect it to work on any variant of unix. An effort was made to make it work on other platforms as well, but this remains mostly untested. Please send me any feedback. Enjoy!

install details

unpack using tar -xzvf browse-<ver>.tar.gz and then follow the INSTALL file. You will also need the synmark.vim plugin, vimscript #1128

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
browser-1.1.tar.gz	1.1	2005-03-15	6.0	moshe kamensky	Mainly bug fixes. New features: - Added the uri history://n to access the n-th newest item in the history.   Similarly, the :History command may now accecpt a numeric argument. - The last access time for each link now appears on the history page - Added the g:browser_connect_timeout variable to control when we give up   connecting to a remote site - Added support for homepage in the plugin. :Browse and similar commands can   now be called with no arguments. - Changed the loading of the plugin so that vim startup time is improved. - Added a command for showing the current mappings, and a command to extend   this list for user defined mappings
browser-1.0.tar.gz	1.0	2004-11-24	6.0	moshe kamensky	* Added a sidebar * Added context menu entries * Support for opening links with external applications (using mailcap) * The conceal patch is no longer used. The synmark.vim plugin is used instead. * Global browsing history * Both history and bookmarks can be viewed as browser pages * More support for inline images (viewing, etc.) * Page can be updated when modifying its source * Use vim commands as scheme handlers * Some improvements to standalone versions (vimbrowse) * Improved documentation, added glossary
browser-0.4.tar.gz	0.4	2004-09-26	6.0	moshe kamensky	Main Improvements:   - Added support for all inputs in a form (file, textarea, multi-options)   - Improved searching capabilities: Added the possibility to customize the     search engine, added :Dictionary and :Thesaurus commands. The searching     commands can now have no arguments, taking the word under the cursor, or       the visaully select words as arguments, instead (Thanks to Aditya Mahajan     for the ideas)   - The browser buffer is now non-modifiable by default. It becomes     modifiable only when changing form input values (again thanks to Aditya     Mahajan)   - Added the possibility to save inline images to a file   - Removed the dependence on HTML-Format. The only dependency that remains     for formatting is HTML::TreeBuilder (which is more widely available).   - There is no longer need to patch HTML::TreeBuilder to view encodings     correctly.   - I think vimbrowse.pl finally works on windows (didn't test, though). Some     environment variables might need to be set.   - Various other features and bug fixes - see the ChangeLog for details

Thus, eg, google can be   used - Made less system dependent. No known system dependent parts   remain.  Most features should now work on any platform. Partially tested on windows, thanks to Suresh Govindachar. - A command line (perl) script, 'vimbrowse.pl', now allows lunching   vim as a browser from the command line. - Numerous bugs were fixed. See the file 'ChangeLog' for some more details
