Yes, I'm sure there are. This is to be expected given that the outcome they are attempting to accomplish is untenable with Emacs' current limitations. I wish you the best of luck in your ongoing endeavors to struggle with this. I can assure you though that I certainly won't be extending my efforts towards pushing that rock up any hills. > You could for example look at the parser in nxml-mode and see if you > can get it to parse non-continous parts of a buffer. I wasn't aware that nxml's parser is broken. Has anyone informed James Clark? Why should nxml-mode need to do such a thing? Isn't this like asking one to construct a lisp interpreter capable of parsing non-well-formed S-expressions? Besides, what does nxml's parser have to do with buffer-offer-save being made permanent local? -- /s_P\
