[O] [FYI] New emacs-w3m feature: edit html-textareas in Org-mode

[Thorsten Jolitz]

Hi List,

if you get the newest CVS version of emacs-w3m

#+begin_src sh
  % cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/storage/cvsroot login
  CVS password: # No password is set.  Just hit Enter/Return key.
  % cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/storage/cvsroot co emacs-w3m
#+end_src

you can now toggle the major-mode of textarea edit-buffers between text-mode
and org-mode with 'M-x w3m-form-textarea-toggle-major-mode'.

When you activate the use of Org-mode, a full-size Org-mode edit-buffer
in the same (sensibly-splitted) Emacs window (with the text of the
clicked html textarea) will be offered in 'show-all' state for editing
- instead of a minimal edit-buffer in text-mode.

In that buffer, minor-mode `w3m-form-input-textarea-mode' will be activated
(with a special minor-mode keymap that avoids clashes with Org-mode's
keybindings) offering the following commands:

,-----------------------------------------------------------
| W3m-Form-Input-Textarea minor mode (no indicator):
|
| Minor mode to edit form textareas of w3m.
|
| C-c C-c Set the value and exit from this textarea.
| C-c C-k Exit from this textarea without setting the value.
| C-x C-s Save editing data in this textarea.
`-----------------------------------------------------------

The default keybindings above (text-mode) are replaced with

 ,--------------------------------------------------------------------
 | M-# c Set the value and exit from this textarea.
 | M-# k (or M-# q) Exit from this textarea without setting the value.
 | M-# s Save editing data in this textarea.
 `--------------------------------------------------------------------

when the textarea edit-buffer is in org-mode.

Other attempts to make emacs-w3m and Org-mode work together are cited in the
[[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/emacs-w3m][Emacs Wiki]].

Here is the ChangeLog entry for the new emacs-w3m feature described above:
