+
+00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
+Hi! My name is Eduardo Ochs. I'm the author
+
+00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:06.000
+of an Emacs package called eev, and the name
+
+00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.000
+of this presentation is: "Bidirectional links
+
+00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:10.000
+in eev".
+
+00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.000
+Let me present things in a weird order,
+
+00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.000
+starting by the new feature, and then I'm
+
+00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.000
+going to explain the whole context.
+
+00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.000
+One of the main features that we are
+
+00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.000
+going to see here is this function here,
+
+00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.000
+M-x kla, and kla is a mnemonic for "kill
+
+00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.000
+Link to Anchor". Let me explain... let me
+
+00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.000
+demonstrate how it works. This thing here
+
+00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.000
+with the green angle brackets is an
+
+00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.000
+anchor, this thing between the green
+
+00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.000
+angle brackets is a tag of an
+
+00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.000
+anchor, and if I type M-x kla here
+
+00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.000
+it highlights this tag for a second and
+
+00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.000
+it says "Copied to the kill ring: blah
+
+00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.000
+blah blah..." and this thing here is a link.
+
+00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.000
+I can insert the link here, I
+
+00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.000
+can insert the link in my notes...
+
+00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.000
+and if I execute this thing this link
+
+00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:10.000
+here it goes to this anchor in this file.
+
+00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.000
+If you have a recent version of eev
+
+00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:13.000
+installed then trying this feature
+
+00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.000
+should be very easy...
+
+00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.000
+you just need to open the this file here,
+
+00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.000
+in which everything is defined, and then
+
+00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.000
+go to this section at the beginning of
+
+00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.000
+the file, and then run the three blocks
+
+00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.000
+of tests that are there.
+
+00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.000
+This block corresponds roughly to what
+
+00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.000
+we have just done...
+
+00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.000
+this other block
+
+00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.000
+is slightly different because it shows
+
+00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.000
+some variants of kla... one is with `f`
+
+00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.000
+instead of an `a` here, let me
+
+00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.000
+show how it works... if we type
+
+00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:57.000
+`M-x eeklf` or just `M-x klf`
+
+00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.000
+we get a link to this file that does not
+
+00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.000
+point to an anchor, and if we type
+
+00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:07.000
+`M-x klt` we get another kind of link that
+
+00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.000
+is a link to an anchor in the same
+
+00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.000
+file...
+
+00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:16.000
+and the third block
+
+00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.000
+is more interesting because it lets
+
+00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.000
+people create links to files that
+
+00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.000
+are elsewhere, and that do not have
+
+00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.000
+anchors in them...
+
+00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.000
+let me execute this... this will
+
+00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.000
+run this sexp here and display the
+
+00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.000
+target at the window at the right...
+
+00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:41.000
+this is one of the source files of Emacs.
+
+00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.000
+Let's imagine that I want to create a
+
+00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.000
+link to this string here... then I can
+
+00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.000
+type `M-x klfs`, and this will create a
+
+00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.000
+link to a file and to a string in that
+
+00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.000
+file. So if I type ENTER here
+
+00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.000
+it says: "Copied to the kill ring: ...\
+
+00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.000
+and this is a link to this file here,
+
+00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.000
+and to the first occurrence of this
+
+00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:10.000
+string in this file.
+
+00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.000
+So: how does this work (inside)?...
+
+00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.000
+when I was trying to write the documentation
+
+00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.000
+of this I tried to write a summary of
+
+00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.000
+how the algorithm works, and I failed and
+
+00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.000
+I tried again, and I failed again,
+
+00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.000
+several times... and then I gave up and I
+
+00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.000
+decided to write an intro - a tutorial,
+
+00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.000
+this one -
+
+00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.000
+that explains everything with lots of
+
+00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:35.000
+details, and with lots of sections
+
+00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.000
+with "Try it!"s, that
+
+00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.000
+have examples that you you can run to
+
+00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.000
+understand things, to examine how some
+
+00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:48.000
+functions work, how the data
+
+00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.000
+structures work, and so on...
+
+00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.000
+the problem is that sometimes we have
+
+00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.000
+several hyperlinks that point to the to
+
+00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.000
+the same file. Let me give an example.
+
+00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.000
+In the configuration in which I am now,
+
+00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.000
+in this file here... the old way of
+
+00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.000
+generating hyperlinks to this file
+
+00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.000
+with `find-here-links`
+
+00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.000
+will generate a temporary buffer
+
+00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.000
+like this, and then I would have to
+
+00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.000
+choose which one of these hyperlinks I
+
+00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.000
+find best, which one I prefer, and then
+
+00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.000
+copy it to my notes... so instead
+
+00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.000
+of choosing a hyperlink this thing here
+
+00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.000
+shows all the options.
+
+00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.000
+And in the new way, in `M-x kla`
+
+00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:37.000
+and friends, there's an algorithm that
+
+00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.000
+chooses the best short hyperlink by
+
+00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:43.000
+itself, and this algorithm is a bit hard
+
+00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.000
+to explain... let me demonstrate it here.
+
+00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.000
+Again, we have all these options here, of
+
+00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.000
+hyperlinks to this file...
+
+00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.000
+and if I type `M-x klf`
+
+00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.000
+it chooses one of them.
+
+00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.000
+And of course I can copy it to my notes,
+
+00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:02.000
+it's going to work, it's going to point
+
+00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.000
+to here... and so on.
+
+00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.000
+Well, the title of this presentation was
+
+00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.000
+"Bidirectional links with eev"... let me
+
+00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.000
+show what I mean by bi-directional
+
+00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.000
+hyperlinks, and how we can use this thing
+
+00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.000
+to create bidirectional hyperlinks
+
+00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.000
+very quickly.
+
+00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.000
+I will have to use a smaller font... let
+
+00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.000
+me open these two files here. This one at
+
+00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.000
+the left is a program in Haskell, and
+
+00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.000
+this one is a file with my notes on
+
+00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.000
+Haskell.
+
+00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.000
+How do I create a link from...
+
+00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.000
+to this file in Haskell
+
+00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.000
+to put it in this file here? I can put
+
+00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.000
+the cursor here, in any position
+
+00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.000
+after this anchor here, and type
+
+00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:49.000
+`M-x kla`...
+
+00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.000
+it copies this link here to the kill
+
+00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.000
+ring and then I can can go here and
+
+00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:59.000
+either insert it with C-y (yank), or
+
+00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:06.000
+insert it with `M-k kli`, that adds a
+
+00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.000
+comment prefix here.
+
+00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:11.000
+So this is a way to create a link from
+
+00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:15.000
+here to there in which every
+
+00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.000
+comment has to be given explicitly...
+
+00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.000
+but I also implemented a way to
+
+00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.000
+create the two links at the same time.
+
+00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.000
+I don't use it much, it's mostly for
+
+00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.000
+demos, because it's impressive, I wanted
+
+00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.000
+to show that in this presentation...
+
+00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:33.000
+Anyway, let me show it here. Note that
+
+00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:36.000
+that in this file here the point is
+
+00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.000
+here, in this file the point is here...
+
+00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.000
+My trick is going to create a link to
+
+00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:47.000
+this anchor and put it in this file, and
+
+00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.000
+it's going to create a link to this
+
+00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.000
+anchor and put it in this file...
+
+00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:57.000
+So, here it goes: `M-x kla2`... ta-da!
+
+00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:01.000
+it highlighted the true anchors for a
+
+00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.000
+second, and it created these things here
+
+00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.000
+and inserted them with the
+
+00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.000
+right prefixes, I mean, the right
+
+00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.000
+comment prefixes.
+
+00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:15.000
+And that's it!
+
+00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.000
+So... that's it. If you found this thing
+
+00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:22.000
+interesting just
+
+00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:25.000
+install a recent version of eev and run
+
+00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.000
+the tutorial, either with this thing here,
+
+00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.000
+`M-x find-kla-intro`, or by running
+
+00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:35.000
+this sexp, or open this file here in the
+
+00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.000
+eev directory, and follow the
+
+00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.000
+tutorials...
+
+00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.000
+most things that there are well
+
+00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.000
+documented, but the thing that I don't
+
+00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.000
+use much and that is mostly for demos,
+
+00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.000
+which is the the thing that creates
+
+00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.000
+bi-directional hyperlinks, is not yet
+
+00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:55.000
+well documented, but the rest is.
+
+00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.000
+So: that's it! Bye! Have fun! =)
