Try "html-helper-mode" which works like a charm. It has a menu (with
associated key bindings) for most tags and such. You can even select
a string and html-helper-mode will place the opening and closing tags
in their proper places. Trick!
The only trouble I've had- and it's *really* minor- is that it spends
a bit of time fontifying files, not much of a problem except on big
files. html-helper-mode colors tags and text very nicely and it's
easy to see the structure of the document. I haven't tried it with
jit-lock or lazy-lock, which might speed up that fontifying.
There are a number of HTML/XML/SGML type modes available. XML-mode
works OK, I prefer html-helper-mode (although XML-mode has a menu
item for previewing the buffer in a browser, which is really handy
for checking quickly and easily on the effects of any changes to the
code; I should suggest this for html-helper-mode, unless the
maintainer sees this before I get around to it).
