How would I fetch a web page into a new buffer, then programmatically
insert some text into it? (Of course subsequently saving the buffer to
a file may done interactively.)
I know a little elisp, but not yet the polished programmer (as this
nonfunctioning code shows):
load url.el
(defun www-edit-web-page (url)
"Retrieve web page and load into new buffer for editing.
Automatically insert after <body> tag URL, appropriately html-tagged URL."
(interactive "sLoad URL: "
(with-temp-buffer (url-retrieve url edit-web-page))))
(defun edit-web-page (status)
"Switch to the buffer returned by `url-retreive'.
The buffer should contain the web page sent by the server."
(switch-to-buffer (current-buffer))
(goto-char 0)
(re-search-forward "<body.*>" nil t) ;go to end of <body ...> tag.
;insert URL into page, properly html-coded.
(insert "\n<p>From: <a href=\"" url "\">" url "</a>\n </p>\n\n"))
