Re: HOWTO: using psgml for web development

[Emory Smith <emory.smith@mac.com>]

hello,

much thanks to d. d. brierton for these much needed instructions.

i have tried been repeatedly going back and forth between 
html-helper-mode and psgml/mmm/etc-modes for some time now, each one 
seeming a bit greener when im using the other.

i have just switched back to psgml now in light of this how-to and was 
hoping someone might be able to help me work out some kinks...

my biggest problem currently seems to be with indentation in a php 
files. here's what i get when i press the tab key in a (HTML[PHP] MMM) 
mode buffer:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
   looking-at(nil)
   c-backward-sws()
   c-guess-basic-syntax()
   c-indent-line()
   #[nil "\b¬>É)\0^[(JC^[(B ^[-Hƒ≈x√ ∆ )^[-A\x19i∆ XÉ\"\0«	!Ç'\0^[(JG^[(B	!))á\b á" 
[indent-line-function column (indent-relative indent-relative-maybe) 
beginning-of-line "\n 	" nil current-indentation indent-line-to] 2 
690153 nil]()
   c-indent-command(1)
* call-interactively(c-indent-command)

i am using andrew choi's emacs 21.3 for carbon os x 10.3  (though i get 
the same results from the fink x11 dist).

also, i have removed EVERYTHING from my .emacs config files except for 
what is listed in brierton's how-to.

perhaps i should just go back my latest html-helper-mode configuration 
(but how nice it would be to have html indentation in php buffers...)

thanks for any suggestions,
emory
