Subject: Simplify code for tooltips in menus
Date: Thu, 01 Jan 2004 14:54:10 +0100 [thread overview]

Hi,
when a menu entry has a tooltip (help echo) text, it is done in this
way:
,----[ gnus-sum.el ]
| `(...
| ["Rot 13" gnus-summary-caesar-message
| ,@(if (featurep 'xemacs) '(t)
| '(:help "\"Caesar rotate\" article by 13"))]
| ...)
`----
Wouldn't the code be more readable (and easier to change if XEmacs
might support this too), if we'd use a utility function (or macro)?
,----[ gnus-sum.el ]
| `(...
| ["Rot 13" gnus-summary-caesar-message
| ,@(gnus-help "\"Caesar rotate\" article by 13")]
| ...)
`----
,----[ gnus-util.el ]
| (defmacro gnus-help (text)
| `(if (featurep 'xemacs)
| '(t)
| '(:help ,text)))
`----
I'm not too familiar with the details of (macro) expansion. Feel free
to suggest improvements.
This would also be useful for `message.el'. Can (should) we use stuff
from `gnus-util.el' there?
Bye, Reiner.
