monkdiscuss footpad With the help of the [vroom|Most Enlightened] (thanks!) (and some research on my part), we now have new link tags available. Each searches a certain site for the value you provide and returns a list of hits: <UL> <LI>[jargon://] searches the Jargon file hosted at the University of Amsterdam. Examples: [jargon://meme], "[jargon://godwin|You're a Nazi]!", "Don't do [jargon://cargo cult programming|this]." (I chose this one because I can get to it through the web filtering software I have to deal with at work. Folks have posted links to other copies of the Jargon file, but many of those are blocked by that software.)</LI> <LI>[kobe://] is an alternate for the [cpan://] tag; it searches the CPAN mirror at the University of Winnipeg for a given module or distribution. It's named after the maintainer of that site. Examples: [kobe://sendmail], [kobe://lwp], Here's an easy way to install [kobe://CPAN] modules. (It was chosen because I've found [cpan://] to be slow from time to time and use this one more often than not.)</LI> <LI>[perldoc://] searches <a href="www.perldoc.com/">perldoc</a>. The idea here is to provide a way of linking to current Perl documentation. Examples: [perldoc://unlink], [perldoc://lwpcook|A Cookbook], "How do I [perldoc://send email] from Perl?" (This was based on a recent [id://118910|conversation].)</LI> </UL> Again, these tags only provide the search results, so they're not as specific as linking directly to a given document. However, I hope they'll prove at least as useful as other tags that've been added over time. <UL> <LI>Update: Owing to popular demand, we've added [pad://] as a shortcut to a user's scratch pad. Please note that this behaves slightly differently if you do not enter a title parameter. If, for example, you type <code>[pad://footpad]</CODE>, the result is "[pad://footpad]". If you enter a title, it behaves like the other link tags, e.g. "Check [pad://footpad|this] out."</LI> <LI>Update #2: Thanks to the [vroom|tireless] (and a little help from me), the [id://43037|documentation] has been updated. (P.S. Thanks for the help, [tye].)</LI> </UL> Cheers! --f
