XML, nsgmls, and emacs

XML, nsgmls, and emacs

[s. keeling]

Buenos dias.  I've just got into XML recently.  I've a short list of
problems I'm running into.

I've managed to get validation working but I appear to need some
tweaks to my setup for it to work correctly.  When I do "C-c C-v" it
comes up with:

   sgmls -s file.xml

which fails.  I change that to:

   nsgmls -s /usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl file.xml

and it works.  How do I tell emacs to do that automatically?
What do I need in my .emacs?

Secondly, I've been trying to get conversions out of xml2, but it
doesn't give me anything that looks like valid html.  The output looks
like a dump of absolute filenames instead of html tagged source.
Where's a good reference/documentation for xml2?

This is in Debian Woody/stable, emacs20.  Thanks.

Hi 

You need to set sgml-validate-command
(setq sgml-validate-command "nsgmls -s
/usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl")
should do it.

No idea on xml2

Thanks.  I fumbled around some more in google and found this:

   (setq sgml-validate-command "nsgmls -s %s %s")

That appears to work.

Same here.  I'll keep looking.
