+;; Elpher aims to provide a practical gopher client for GNU Emacs.
;; It supports:
;; - intuitive keyboard and mouse-driven interface,
;; - pleasant and configurable colouring of Gopher directories,
;; - direct visualisation of image files,
;; - (m)enu key support, similar to Emacs' info browser,
-;; - clickable web and gopher links in plain text.
+;; - clickable web and gopher links in plain text,
+;; - a simple bookmark management system.
;; Visited pages are stored as a hierarchy rather than a linear history,
;; meaning that navigation between these pages is quick and easy.
