Using html-quick-keys with nxml-mode

Using html-quick-keys with nxml-mode

[Steffen Glückselig]

Hello,

I am new to emacs and plan to mainly use it for publishing xhtml. I've got  
the TEI-emacs-package and set up nxml-mode to be associated with  
html-files (I have not converted to the xhtml-extension yet).
I've noticed in html-mode there is an entry in the menu-bar (HTML) that  
holds some html-elements associated to hotkeys to place them into the  
source.
I would like to have that menu-entry and the shortcuts available in  
nxml-mode, too. Is that possible? I've noticed that the entries are  
defined in sgml-mode.el. Could I link that definition to the nxml-mode?  
How so?
Or should I switch back to sgml/html-mode, though my documents are  
actually xhtml?



regards
Steffen

Most of the HTML menu-bar commands in sgml-mode.el are defined as
skeletons, so I think they could be used in any other major mode.  It
might be as simple as this:

(require 'sgml-mode)	; for html-mode-map
(define-key nxml-mode-map [menu-bar html]
   (lookup-key html-mode-map [menu-bar html]))

I haven't tried it yet, but I suspect nxml-mode is better for XHTML
documents.  You might also want to ask on the emacs-nxml-mode discussion

This gives me a
	Symbol's value as variable is void: nxml-mode-map
on startup!?

The sgml-mode.el in Emacs-21.3 is very simple.
The version in Emacs-CVS (which you can grab from
savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs by browsing the CVS server) has added
indentation and xml support, including xhtml support.
It's still a much more simple mode than psgml (and nxml as well) that does
not require (nor use) any DTD or similar info.  I.e. it's not
very intelligent.
