;;; Commentary:

;; Emacs-w3m keeps history in the buffer-local variables `w3m-history'
;; and `w3m-history-flat'.  Each variable contains a list of all the
;; links you have visited.  The behavior tracing history backward or
;; forward is controlled by the `w3m-history-reuse-history-elements'
;; variable.  See the documentations for those variables for details.

(defcustom w3m-history-reuse-history-elements nil
  "Non-nil means reuse the history element when re-visiting the page.
Otherwise, a new history element will be created even if there are
elements for the same url in the history.

Emacs-w3m used to operate as the case in which it is non-nil, however
it sometimes brought about users' dissatisfaction.  For example, if a
user visited the pages A -> B -> C -> B in order, performing BACK on
the second B would let a user visit A.  The reason why a user was
taken to A rather than C is that the `w3m-history' variable only had
the list `(A B C)' as a history and B was the current position at that
time.

The default value for this variable is nil which allows the
`w3m-history' variable to have the list `(A B C B)'.  Where contents
of two B's are the identical Lisp objects.  So, too much wasting the
Lisp resources will be avoided.

See the documentation for the variables `w3m-history' and
`w3m-history-flat' for more information."

(defvar w3m-history nil
  "A tree-structured complex list of all the links which you have visited.
This is a buffer-local variable.  For example, it will grow as follows:

\[Branch-1.0.0.0]:                 +--> U1.0.0.0.0 --> U1.0.0.0.1
                                  |
    [Branch-1.0]:         +--> U1.0.0 --> U1.0.1 --> U1.0.2
                          |
         [Trunk]: U0 --> U1 --> U2 --> U3 --> U4 --> U5 --> U6
                                 |
    [Branch-2.0]:                +--> U2.0.0 --> U2.0.1
                                 |
    [Branch-2.1]:                +--> U2.1.0 --> U2.1.1 --> U2.1.2
                                                    |
\[Branch-2.1.1.0]:                                   +--> U2.1.1.0.0

In this case, the U1.0.0.0.0 history element represents the first link
of the first branch which is sprouted from the U1.0.0 history element.

The trunk or each branch is a simple list which will contain some
history elements.  History elements in the trunk or each branch will
be arranged in increasing order (the newest history element will be
the last element of the list).  Each history element represents a link
which consists of the following records:

	(URL PROPERTIES BRANCH BRANCH ...)

Where URL is a string of an address of a link.  PROPERTIES is a plist
which is able to contain any kind of data to supplement the URL as
follows:

	(KEYWORD VALUE KEYWORD VALUE ...)

A note for programmers: PROPERTIES should always be a non-nil value in
order to make it easy to share the value in every history element in
every emacs-w3m buffer.

The remaining BRANCHes are branches of the history element.  Branches
will also be arranged in increasing order (the newest one will be the
rightmost element).  Each BRANCH will also be a tree-structured
complex list.  Therefore, the history structure will grow up
infinitely.

In order to save the Lisp resources, URL strings and PROPERTIES in the
`w3m-history' variables are shared in every emacs-w3m buffer (it means
each element in two `w3m-history' variables can be compared by `eq'
rather than `equal').  If there is necessity to make buffer-local
properties, in other words, to make properties of which values differ
in every emacs-w3m buffer, use the `w3m-history-flat' variable instead.

There are special rules on the emacs-w3m history management system.
As you perhaps foresaw, the operation BACK on U2.0.0 brings you to U2,
and one more BACK brings you to U1.  Well, where do you think we
should go next when the operation FORWARD is performed on U1?  The
rule is to go to the newest link you have ever visited.  So, that
operation should take you to U1.0.0.

Another rule is that the new U4 link should sprout from U1.0.1 if
`w3m-history-reuse-history-elements' is nil when you visit the U4 link
directly from U1.0.1.  In contrast, you should be taken to the
existing U4 link instead of sprouting the new branch from U1.0.1 if
`w3m-history-reuse-history-elements' is non-nil.

In addition, the first element of `w3m-history' is special.  It is a
list containing pointers which point to three history elements as
shown below:

	(PREV CURRENT NEXT)

PREV points to the previous history element, CURRENT points to the
current one and NEXT points to the next one.  Each of them is a list
which contains an odd number of integers.  For example, `(0)' does
point to U0 and `(2 1 0)' does point to U2.1.0.  Finally, the value of
the `w3m-history' variable will be constructed as follows:

\(((1) (2) (2 1 0))
 (\"http://www.U0.org/\" (:title \"U0\" :foo \"bar\"))
 (\"http://www.U1.org/\" (:title \"U1\" :foo \"bar\")
  ((\"http://www.U100.org/\" (:title \"U100\" :foo \"bar\")
    ((\"http://www.U10000.org/\" (:title \"U10000\" :foo \"bar\"))
     (\"http://www.U10001.org/\" (:title \"U10001\" :foo \"bar\"))))
   (\"http://www.U101.org/\" (:title \"U101\" :foo \"bar\"))
   (\"http://www.U102.org/\" (:title \"U102\" :foo \"bar\"))))
 (\"http://www.U2.org/\" (:title \"U2\" :foo \"bar\")
