<tr><td>Utl.vim is the successor of the thlnk.vim plugin.
<br>
<br>WHAT IS UTL.VIM ?
<br>
<br>* It brings the benefits of URL-based hyperlinking to the realm of plain text,
<br> extending the URL syntax for plain text needs, in accordance with the RFC 2396
<br> URI specification.
<br>
<br>* It's a handy utility for you right away. See examples below.
<br>
<br>* It's fun :-)
<br> surfing text files, executing text ...
<br>
<br>
<br>WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR ?
<br>
<br>* Enables Vim to be your central desktop application, for instance:
<br>
<br> - Easily navigate in collections of related text files via hyperlinks
<br> - Call web browser and email client on URLs (configurable protocol handlers)
<br> - Call MS-Word on .doc files, Acrobat Reader on .pdf, Windows Explorer on
<br> directories, IrfanView on .jpg etc. (configurable media type handlers)
<br> - Maintain pictures from your digicam based on a text file
<br> - Maintain a personal info file containing hotlinks
<br>
<br>* Use it for project management, software development, report preparation and
<br> technical writings. For instance:
<br>
<br> - Reference emails from text files
<br> - Reference bug tracker database from a text file
<br>
<br>* Smart usages. For instance:
<br>
<br> - Embed vim commands in text files and source code.
<br> - Use it as light weight spell checker,
<br> - or for dictionary lookups.
<br> - Start programs using Utl.
<br> - Use it for relative editing and
<br> - for navigating HTML source code.
<br>
<br>* Use it for quality commenting of source code. For instance:
<br>
<br> - Reference related code with hot links, e.g. reference the definition of a
<br> struct in C/C++
<br> - Reference design papers, UML diagrams, man pages etc from source code
<br> - Turn references like "see below" and "type zR to open the folds" into
<br> hotlinks
<br>
<br>
<br>UTL.VIM IS EASY
<br>
<br>* You only need to know one single command to get started: \gu = Go URL
<br>
<br> 1. Type :help utl-start
<br>
<br> 2. Hit \gu on the live examples given there
<br>
<br> As a reader of texts containing URLs that's all! As an author you have to
<br> know how to write URLs. But utl.vim gives you a training. And what you
<br> will learn is 90% general knowlegde about URLs that you can use elsewhere.
<br>
<br>* Utl.vim is friendly:
<br> No side effects, fits seamlessly into your Vim Session, well documented.
<br>
<br>
<br>EXAMPLES
<br>
<br>Here are some simplistic examples. Assume you have the following stuff in a file and
<br>execute the URL under the cursor with command \gu (all URLs can be with or without
<br><URL:...> embedding):
<br>
<br>* Call your web browser (setup with a smart utility) and display www.vim.org
<br>
<br> URL with embedding (and syntax highlighting)...
<br> <URL:<a target="_blank" href="http://www.vim.org>">http://www.vim.org></A>;
<br> ...or without embedding...
<br> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.vim.org">http://www.vim.org</A>
<br> ...or rudimentary URL
<br> www.vim.org
<br>
<br>* Call your mailer
<br>
<br> mailto:stb@bf-consulting.de
<br> stb@bf-consulting.de
<br> stb@bf-consulting.de?Subject=UTL&Cc=bram@moolenaar.net
<br>
<br>* Link to a local file to be displayed in a Vim window...
<br> (This is a bit like Vim's gf command, but portable and indepent of 'path' setting
<br> and cwd)
<br>
<br> ///file:/home/stb/.vimrc or
<br> /home/stb/.vimrc
<br>
<br> foo.txt in same directory as file containing this link
<br> foo.txt or
<br> ./foo.txt
<br> bar.txt in sibbling directory of file containing this link
<br> ../sib/bar.txt
<br>
<br>* ...with fragment
<br> (This is a bit like tags, but theres is no tags file)
<br>
<br> jump to specific position in target file foo.txt by searching
<br> searchString (use this to turn phrases like "see in file foo.txt
<br> and search for searchString" into hotlinks) ...
<br> foo.txt#searchString
<br> ...or direct addressing of a line...
<br> foo.txt#line=123
<br> ...or refer to the anchor `id=myIdentifier'
<br> foo.txt#r=myIdentifier
<br> ...or without a file, i.e. refers to current document (use this
<br> to turn phrases like "see below" into hotlinks)
<br> #searchString
<br>
<br>* Link to a local file displayed by a handler application
<br>
<br> hand over to MS Word (or Open Office, depending on the media type
<br> handler you setup in UTL)
<br> foo.doc
<br> typically call Acrobat Reader
<br> foo.pdf
<br> typically call IrfanView or XnView
<br> foo.jpg
<br>
<br>* Link to a directory
<br>
<br> call Vim-Explorer or call Windows Explorer or DOS box or Unix shell
<br> (with directory properly set)
<br> dir/ or
<br> dir
<br>
<br>* Embed Vim commands in text
<br>
<br> switch colorscheme (perhaps maintain an annotated file with all Vim
<br> schemes available?)
<br> <URL:vimscript:colors peachpuff>
<br> open all folds (perhaps into your plugin for users who don't know
<br> how to use folds)
<br> <URL:vimscript:normal zR>
<br>
<br> reference the Vim help (perhaps into the source code of your own
<br> plugins to explain certain constructs)...
<br> <URL:vimhelp:expr-==>
<br> ...again combined with a fragment to precisely address the exact
<br> position
<br> <URL:vimhelp:expr-==#^since a string>
<br>
<br>* Command line command :Gu to execute URLs:
<br>
<br> same as first example ( or may I already speak UTL to you:
<br> `same as #tp=browser ' :-)
<br> :Gu www.vim.org
<br> Open Windows Explorer (or whatever) displaying the directory where
<br> the current file is in (on Windows very convenient in your daily
<br> click click struggle)
<br> :Gu .
<br>
<br>The UTL documentation contains lots of practical examples and usage patterns.
