Called "C-h f mhtml-mode" for instance, which never discusses any indentation rules.=C2=A0 For embedded JS, the documentation says that code elements are indented using the rules from =E2=80=98js-mode=E2=80=99.= =C2=A0 But then, doing "M-h f js-mode" does not describe any indentation rules. >> Toggle on-the-fly reindentation of text lines (Electric Indent mode). >> >> When enabled, this reindents whenever the hook `electric-indent-functio= ns' >> returns non-nil, or if you insert one of the "electric characters". >> The electric characters normally include the newline, but can >> also include other characters as needed by the major mode; see >> `electric-indent-chars' for the actual list. >> >> By "reindent" we mean remove any existing indentation, and then >> indent the line according to context and rules of the major mode. >> >> Can there be a clarification that reindentation removes the existing ind= entation >> with new indentation rules applied? >> > > ???
