I recently switched back to GNU Emacs after I found out about EmacsW32
and nXhtml.
I like both a lot but one of the things that drives me crazy about
nXhtml is that there doesn't seem to be anything like sgml-untag-
element from PSGML. All it does is remove the start and end tags
around the current element, but I would think it has to be one of the
most important functions in any HTML/XHTML editing package. I've
looked all over and I can't find anything like it.
Has anybody else found a solution to this problem?

Thanks for your suggestion. I will take a look at it as soon as I can.

I have added the function nxml-untag-element and bound it to
C-c -
as in psgml. I noticed there was a function in psgml to rename tags too.
nxml-untag-element is supposed to take care of that too by selecting
the old element.
Andy, could you please test the latest beta at
http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/DL/elisp/nxhtml/beta/
and tell me how it works for you?

Thank you for getting out an update so quickly. It works but there is a
problem with undo when nxml-untag-select = yes (or Ask with yes).
Here's what happened:
1. Upgraded to Emacs-22-CvsP070523-EmacsW32-1.54 and
nxhtml-1.04-070808-01_46_58. (Thought I had the latest EmacsW32 but I was
wrong.)
2. Created this simple file:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Testing nxml-untag-element</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Testing nxml-untag-element</h1>
<b><u>Bold and underlined</u></b>
</body>
</html>
3. Called nxml-untag-element inside the H1 tag and it removed the start and
end tags correctly.
4. Called undo and it restored the H1 start tag but not the end tag.
5. Repeated 3 and 4 on the U tag inside the B tag. Should have done the
same thing and it did.
6. Looked at the help for nxml-untag-element and found nxml-untag-select.
7. Set nxml-untag-select to no
8. Repeated 3 and 4. This time it did restore the end tag.
Leaving nxml-untag-select = no works fine for my purposes, but let me know
when you have an update or need more beta testing.
Thanks again,
Andy

Thanks for testing and for the report Andy, but I think that is the way
undo works:
undo is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'.
It is bound to C-z, C-_, <undo>, C-/, <menu-bar> <edit> <undo>.
(undo &optional arg)
Undo some previous changes.
Repeat this command to undo more changes.
A numeric argument serves as a repeat count.
In Transient Mark mode when the mark is active, only undo changes within
the current region. Similarly, when not in Transient Mark mode, just
M-x universal-argument
as an argument limits undo to changes within the current region.
So just deselect the region and do undo after that.
