Just call the ebut:program function with point at the location for the button and you are done. This is also documented in the manual under programmatically creating buttons.
(defun ebut:program (label actype &rest args) "Programmatically create an explicit Hyperbole button at point. Create button from LABEL, ACTYPE (action type), and optional actype ARGS. Insert LABEL text at point surrounded by <( )> delimiters, adding any necessary instance number of the button after the LABEL. ACTYPE may be a Hyperbole action type name (from defact) or an Emacs Lisp function, followed by a list of arguments for the actype, aside from the button LABEL which is automatically provided as the first argument. For interactive creation, use `hui:ebut-create' instead.") -- Bob > On Oct 8, 2023, at 3:49 AM, LdBeth <andp...@foxmail.com> wrote: > > > There a various approaches I can think of. > > Check the .hypb file which contains the button data, it is easy to guess > the format and programmically generate many buttons. > > OR > >> (also, I could not make hyperbole to recognize a local variable in an >> org-mode file) > > Use the standard Emacs buffer local variable format > > ;;; Local Variables: *** > ;;; mode:lisp *** > ;;; comment-column:0 *** > ;;; comment-start: ";;; " *** > ;;; comment-end:"***" *** > ;;; End: *** > > LdBeth > >>>>>> In >>>>>> <bYgJTz6gkXHiYKlpXHvNvdhI8ADOjU42FCMwsBTt9mu57BrZmmt11jjmgLhhVVNwr6mtUEpVjmcNiW7lbIuxAED4SCeIYc2MoLTlJ7CPqAY=@proton.me> >>>>>> >>>>>> Alexis Praga <alexis.pr...@proton.me> wrote: > Alexis> [1 <multipart/mixed (7bit)>] > Alexis> [1.1 <text/plain; utf-8 (quoted-printable)>] > Alexis> Hi, > > Alexis> I'm trying to integrate Hyperbole in my workflow.
