This minor mode replaces keywords or expressions with SVG tags that are fully customizable and activable. Usage example: -------------- (setq svg-tag-tags '((":TODO:" ((lambda (tag) (svg-tag-make "TODO")))))) Each item has the form '(KEYWORD (TAG COMMAND HELP)) where: - KEYWORD is a regular expression including a matched group of the form "\\(xxx\\)". If this is not the case the whole string will be used a the matched group. - TAG is either a SVG image that will be displayed using the 'display property or a function that accepts a unique string argument (match-string 1) and returns an SVG image. - COMMAND is a command to be executed when user clicks on the tag. It can be nil if no command is associated with the tag. - HELP is a string to be displayed when mouse pointer is over the tag. It can be nil if no command is associated with the tag. Examples: --------- ;; This replaces any occurrence of ":TODO:" with a SVG tag ;; displaying "TODO" (setq svg-tag-tags '((":TODO:" . ((lambda (tag) (svg-tag-make "TODO" )))))) ;; This replaces any occurrence of ":HELLO:" with a SVG tag that ;; can be clicked to execute the specified command. Help message is ;; displayed when the tag is hovered with the pointer. (setq svg-tag-tags '((":HELLO:" . ((lambda (tag) (svg-tag-make "HELLO")) (lambda () (interactive) (message "Hello world!")) "Print a greeting message")))) ;; This replaces any occurrence of ":XYZ:" with a SVG tag ;; displaying "XYZ" (setq svg-tag-tags '(("\\(:[A-Z]+:\\)" . ((lambda (tag) (svg-tag-make tag :beg 1 :end -1)))))) ;; This replaces any occurrence of ":XXX|YYY:" with two adjacent ;; SVG tags displaying "XXX" and "YYY" (setq svg-tag-tags '(("\\(:[A-Z]+\\)\|[a-zA-Z#0-9]+:" . ((lambda (tag) (svg-tag-make tag :beg 1 :inverse t :margin 0 :crop-right t)))) (":[A-Z]+\\(\|[a-zA-Z#0-9]+:\\)" . ((lambda (tag) (svg-tag-make tag :beg 1 :end -1 :margin 0 :crop-left t)))))) ;; This replaces any occurrence of ":#TAG1:#TAG2:…:$" ($ means end of ;; line) with a collection of SVG tags. Note the # symbol in ;; front of tags. This is mandatory because Emacs cannot do regex look ;; ahead. (setq svg-tag-tags '(("\\(:#[A-Za-z0-9]+\\)" . ((lambda (tag) (svg-tag-make tag :beg 2)))) ("\\(:#[A-Za-z0-9]+:\\)$" . ((lambda (tag) (svg-tag-make tag :beg 2 :end -1))))))
