I am the author of GNU Hyperbole, the everyday, hypertextual

information manager for GNU Emacs; Mats Lidell is the co-maintainer.

Hyperbole can boost the productivity of even experienced developers.

Hyperbole does many things but it mainly helps speed you through

working with many files and directories (whether local or remote),

using any naturally embedded structure within them as built-in

hyperlinks and allowing you to quickly hyperlink between files without

utilizing any markup language (just drag between source and referent

to create a link). It also has a great window and frame manager for

getting your display just right. The Hyperbole project home page

gives a more extensive description:

Hyperbole was created long ago but I have now rewritten it as astandard Emacs package with full compatibility for Emacs 25.1 (andbackwards compatibility to Emacs 24.3). Because so much has changedwith the latest work, we need experienced Emacs users to give it aworkout and send feedback prior to a public release, hopefully findingany major issues before a larger number of people start using it(probably within a month). Although large, Hyperbole does not requireanything outside of libraries shipped with GNU Emacs itself, so it iseasy to install and test. Since it is an Emacs package, if you decidenot to keep it, you can uninstall it, restart your Emacs and you willbe back to where you were before. If people like it, we will workacross time on making it a core part of Emacs, available wheneverdesired.Because it is not yet ready for standard release, you must download itfrom our own site as described below. The public release will bethrough normal channels. You can test it by using it during yournormal workday; you'll want to have 2-4 hours across a week to getsomewhat familiar and to allow time for testing.Right now there are just a few users and there is no traffic on the address@hidden mailing list, so you can join the list andsend any feedback without it generating too much mail.If you do not want to join the list, you can send feedback directly tome as rsw at gnu dot org, though we would prefer it go to the list somore people can see it. There is also a address@hidden listfor direct bug reports.If you decide to test it, please send a message to the list or to mejust indicating the main parts you are testing or plan to test so wehave an idea of how many people are testing. Thanks so much for yourhelp and we hope GNU Hyperbole becomes a regular part of your workingtoolset across time. You will see why we say, Hyperbole is ready foraction!----------To download and install the Hyperbole package, add something like thefollowing lines to your .emacs file:(require 'package)(setq package-check-signature nilpackage-enable-at-startup nil) ;; Prevent double loading of libraries(add-to-list 'package-archives '("RSW-Packages" . " http://www.plasmas.biz/rswe/ ") t)(package-initialize)(unless (package-installed-p 'hyperbole)(if (not (display-graphic-p));; Installation of Hyperbole requires a non-dumb terminal;; instance of Emacs, i.e. under a window system.(progn (message "(Hyperbole): Run Emacs under a window system to install Hyperbole")(beep)(sit-for 4))(package-refresh-contents)(package-install 'hyperbole)))Then restart Emacs and if no errors occur, the latest version of Hyperbolewill be downloaded, built and then available for use. When it is ready,you will see a Hyperbole menu on your menubar and {C-h h} will display aHyperbole menu in the minibuffer for quick keyboard-based selection.(Just FYI, Hyperbole has used that key binding probably longer thanEmacs itself).Read the Hyperbole Manual, "(hyperbole)Top", to learn all about it. Apress of {M-RET} within the above double quotes will display themanual once Hyperbole is loaded.Use {C-h h d d} to display the Hyperbole DEMO, for a demonstration ofstandard Hyperbole button capabilities. This is the best way toinitially interactively learn about some parts of Hyperbole (the DEMOstill needs updating with some of Hyperbole's newer features). TheHyperbole Manual is a reference manual, not a simple introduction. Itis provided under the man/ subdirectory in .info, .html and .pdfformats.Have fun.Bob
