Full description
GNU Hyperbole (pronounced Gnew Hi-per-bo-lee), or just Hyperbole, is like Markdown for hypertext, letting you use little or no markup in files to produce easy-to-navigate hypermedia files. It is an easy-to-use, yet powerful and programmable hypertextual information management system implemented as a GNU Emacs package. It offers rapid views and interlinking of all kinds of textual information, utilizing Emacs for editing. It can dramatically increase your productivity and greatly reduce the number of keyboard/mouse keys you'll need to work efficiently. Hyperbole lets you: 1. Quickly create hyperlink buttons either from the keyboard or by dragging between a source and destination window with a mouse button depressed. Later activate buttons by pressing/clicking on them or by giving the name of the button. 2. Activate many kinds of `implicit buttons' recognized by context within text buffers, e.g. URLs, grep output lines, and git commits. A single key or mouse button automatically does the right thing in dozens of contexts; just press and go. 3. Build outlines with multi-level numbered outline nodes, e.g. 1.4.8.6, that all renumber automatically as any node or tree is moved in the outline. Each node also has a permanent hyperlink anchor that you can reference from any other node; 4. Manage all your contacts quickly with hierarchical categories and embed hyperlinks within each entry. Or create an archive of documents with hierarchical entries and use the same search mechanism to quickly find any matching entry; 5. Use single keys to easily manage your Emacs windows or frames and quickly retrieve saved window and frame configurations; 6. Search for things in your current buffers, in a directory tree or across major web search engines with the touch of a few keys. The common thread in all these features is making retrieval, management and display of information fast and easy. That is Hyperbole's purpose. ---- See "README.md#Installation" for installation instructions and the "README.md" file for general information. There is no need to manually edit this file unless there are specific customizations you would like to make, such as whether a Hyperbole Action Mouse Key is bound to the middle mouse button. (See the call of the function, `hmouse-install', below). Other site-specific customizations belong in "hsettings.el".

News
* What's New in GNU Hyperbole by Bob Weiner
=========================================================================
1. V9.3.2
=========================================================================
1.1. DOCUMENTATION
* : HY-NEWS has been renamed to HY-NEWS.org.
When an Org link with an embedded button is activated with {C-c C-o} and Hyperbole has not yet been loaded but is installed, it will autoload Hyperbole to run the action for the button.
* : Add missing entries from the current HyWiki menu.
=========================================================================
2. V9.3.1
=========================================================================
2.1. ACTION TYPES (See ).
* : Improve documentation and variable naming in this actype that activates a series of local or global Hyperbole buttons by name.
2.2. DOCUMENTATION
* : Add a link to . and add two recent article and video links: HyRolo: Records are Trees, Not Lines Implicit Buttons: Build Your Hyperverse
* : Reprioritize single line region and link to Koutline kcell as the first two highest priority types in the table.
* and : Add {C-c ; h} into the key binding table. Also, change C-0 to M-0 and C–1 to M–1 since control digits don't typically work on a terminal.
* and : Move {C-c C-]} to {C-c [}.
* and : Move {C-c ; b} to {C-c ]}.
* : Move {C-c C-c} to {C-c ; b} to match with {C-c ; c} binding.
* : In (defil search-git-log), change to use curly braces instead of square brackets so it can be embedded within Org links.
* : Add a commented out setting that shows all of the note taking systems that can be quickly full-text searched with HyRolo with no indexing.
* : Add description of the use and setting of this custom option.
* : Add optional setting that enables highlighting Hyperbole buttons as Org links when wrapped in double square brackets.
2.3. HYROLO (See ).
* Optimize by filtering files to search with ripgrep/grep to only those with at least one match.
2.4. IMPLICIT BUTTONS (See ).
* : Add support for Org/MediaWiki links around curly brace-delimited key series, e.g.. .
* : Allow for Org link square bracket delimiters so can match within an call.
* `search-git-log': Change to use curly braces instead of square brackets so it can be embedded within Org links.
2.5. KOUTLINER (See ).
* INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: Move {C-c C-]} to {C-c [} for toggling the mode of the {TAB} key, as is easier-to-type and is a 'left' opening brace like left 'TAB' key.
* INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: Move {C-c ; b} to {C-c ]}. Move {C-c C-c} to {C-c ; b} to match with {C-c ; c} binding. {C-c C-c} no longer worked because Org-compatibility overrode its binding. … …
