Howm is a note-taking tool on Emacs.
It is similar to emacs-wiki.el;
you can enjoy hyperlinks and full-text search easily.
It is not similar to emacs-wiki.el;
it can be combined with any format.

<h2>Hyperlinks</h2>
<ul>
<li>goto link: file name or keyword
<pre>
>>> ~/BabyloniaWave.txt
>>> highway planet
</pre>
<li> come-from link:
If you write
<pre>
<<< crystal star cluster
</pre>
in file A,
all strings 'crystal star cluster' in other files are automatically linked to A.
</ul>
<img src="go.png" alt="goto link">
<img src="come.png" alt="come-from link">
<h2>Full-text search</h2>
<ul>
<li>Everything is based on full-text search (grep);
the above 'links' are shortcuts to grep.
<li>Write fragmentarily and read collectively;
you can concatenate all matched notes into a single buffer.
</ul>
<h2>No conversion</h2>
You can keep your favorite style. :-)
<ul>
<li>text file and free format
<li>implemented as a minor mode; can be combined with other modes.
</ul>
<h2>Todo list with magic sorting</h2>
<ul>
<li>Reminder: sinks slowly.
<li>Todo: floats slowly.
<li>Deadline: floats rapidly when the date is approaching.
</ul>
<hr>
<h2>Install</h2>
<ul>
<li> './configure', 'make', and 'make install'.
Files are installed to /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/howm/
and /usr/local/share/howm/.
<li> Write below in your .emacs.
<pre>
(require 'howm)
</pre>
<li> If you see 'cannot open load file' error, put this before
the above description.
<pre>
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/howm/")
</pre>
<li> (Optional)
When howm runs too slow, try
'M-x customize-group RET howm-efficiency RET'.
In particular, the below settings will be necessary for heavy users.
<pre>
(setq howm-view-use-grep t) ;; use external grep
(setq howm-menu-refresh-after-save nil)
(setq howm-menu-expiry-hours 6) ;; cache menu N hours
(setq howm-menu-file "0000-00-00-000000.txt") ;; don't *search*
</pre>
</ul>
<h2>Update from old version</h2>
<h3>1.4.0 to 1.4.1</h3>
<p>
small bug fix, etc.
</p>
<h3>1.3.9.2 to 1.4.0</h3>
<p>
INCOMPATIBLE update.
If you need compatibility with 1.3.*,
put (setq howm-compatible-to-ver1dot3 t) before (require 'howm) in your .emacs.
See M-x customize-group RET howm-compatibility RET for details.
</p>
<p>
Though howm-1.4.0 has a new menu file,
your old menu file is not updated automatically.
Copy en/0000-00-00-000000.txt into howm/ directory if you like.
Alternatively, you can cut and paste some parts of it to your
howm/0000-00-00-000000.txt by hand.

<h3>1.3.6 to 1.3.7</h3>
<p>
Maintenance release (internal cleaning).
The variable howm-list-normalizer is obsolete now.
Use howm-normalizer instead:
<ul>
<li>(Case 0) What is howm-list-normalizer? I don't know it at all.
--- You need to do nothing. :-)
<li>(Case 1) I've set it in M-x customize-variable.
--- M-x customize-variable howm-list-normalizer RET and select Off.
Then M-x customize-variable howm-normalizer RET and select
the corresponding item again.
<li>(Case 2) I've written (setq howm-list-normalizer 'howm-view-sort-by-XXX)
in my .emacs.
--- Rewrite it to
(setq howm-normalizer 'howm-sort-items-by-XXX).
<li>(Case 3) I've written (setq howm-list-normalizer ...my_original_elisp...).
--- Modify it correspondingly with the below change.
<ul>
<li>Old (howm-list-normalizer):
Specify a function that sorts and REDISPLAYS CURRENT items.
<li>New (howm-normalizer):
Specify a function that RETURNS the sorted list of items
for the GIVEN items.
</ul>
