enabling auto fill mode for XML documents

enabling auto fill mode for XML documents

[Wolfgang Jeltsch]

Hello,

I want the auto fill minor mode to be automatically enabled for all buffers 
using the nXML major mode.  Alas, all previous attempts and tipps to realize 
this (like putting turn-on-auto-fill-mode in an nXML hook) didn't work.  What 
is a good way to achieve what I want?

Best wishes,
Wolfgang

Just tried out the nXML major mode and for me it works fine with 
`(auto-fill-mode 1)' in the mode hook. I have the following lines in
my .emacs init file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/nxml-
mode-20041004")
(load "rng-auto.el")
(defun my-nxml-mode-hook ()
  (auto-fill-mode 1))
(add-hook 'nxml-mode-hook 'my-nxml-mode-hook)

Also consider refill-mode as it refills the paragraph even when you
insert/delete words in the middle of it. If you want to use it, change
the mode hook to:

(defun my-nxml-mode-hook ()
  (refill-mode 1))

Thank you.  That does the job.

That is even better than just auto-filling.  Alas, it has the problem that no 
automatic indentation takes place when a new line is started because the old 
line was full.  Is there a way to let also refill mode auto-indent new lines?

Well, I would have said putting `turn-on-auto-fill-mode' into an nXML
hook.  That's if that function exists (which I'm sure you'll have
checked).

So why not post the actual lisp code which you've tried - it could be
there's a niggly little error in it.

It doesn't exist.  I get: "Symbol's function definition is void: 
turn-on-auto-fill-mode".

However, it works with (auto-fill-mode 1) which someone on this list already 
suggested.

It's called turn-on-auto-fill, which you could easily have figured out 
using apropos.
