The current FAQ maintainer is Christian Nybø. I don't know if he is temporarily unresponsive due to current obligations, or he no longer has time for day-to-day updates. Either way, your help is very welcome. Do you have any specific ideas of what you'd like to add/fix, or would you like suggestions? I myself have worked on the FAQ in the past, so I have a few ideas about what to do with it long-term, but it's a long story for a separate message. Your qualifications are certainly very impressive, especially the "best of all" one. :-)

Re: changing buffers with gutters visible resets match-data 25 years

Mark Thomas

The following patch solves the problem of losing the value of match-data when you change buffers while the gutter/tabs are visible. As a demonstration of the problem, consider the output from the following xemacs (21.2.22) "one-liners": $ xemacs -vanilla -batch -eval ' (let (x y) (setq gutter-visible-p (set-specifier default-gutter-visible-p nil)) (insert "foo") (beginning-of-line) (re-search-forward "foo") (setq x (match-data t)) (split-window-vertically) (other-window 1) (setq y (match-data t)) (message "%s %s" x y))' (1 4) (1 4) $ xemacs -vanilla -batch -eval ' (let (x y) (insert "foo") (beginning-of-line) (re-search-forward "foo") (setq x (match-data t)) (split-window-vertically) (other-window 1) (setq y (match-data t)) (message "%s %s" x y))' (1 4) (0 1) The patch simply wraps the buffers-tab-items in a save-match-data. -Mark 1999-12-02 Mark Thomas <mthomas(a)jprc.com> * gutter-items.el (buffers-tab-items): Wrap the function in a save-match-data --- gutter-items.el Fri Oct 15 06:11:40 1999 +++ gutter-items.el.patched Thu Dec 2 19:08:30 1999 ＠＠ -205,24 +205,25 ＠＠ efficiency reasons.

You need to run autoconf after applying this > patch. Thanks. There should probably be some way to turn off these checks, just in case they get a false positive. Or a developer _wants_ to compile with known bad configurations to try and fix the problem. --i-know-what-im-doing-dammit=yes ? -bp

Edit html files 25 years

Harry Putnam

Recently compiled xemacs-21.2.19 . Looking for a function in html-mode similar to fsf emacs `browse-url-of-buffer' [C-c C-v] that allows one to toggle instant viewing of any edits in a browser. Is there such functionality?

I finally got some long awaited memory for this machine so it doesn't really swap anymore, and I think flushing did stop when I typed.

?: how to get/install Linux toolbar icons on Solaris 25 years

Ham Nguyen [Anh Yeu Dau]

Hi, On Linux (RedHat 6.0), I installed the XEmacs 21.1.8 package then fell in love with the colorful toolbar icons. On Solaris (sparc and x86), I downloaded the sources for 21.1.8 and 21.2-b22, then built them myself, but got only the boring icons for the toolbar. ?: so, how did the Linux folks do that? Can I just copy the icons from Linux to Solaris then make them works somehow? How? thanks ha`m
