Preventing toggling off minor modes in nxhtml mumamo chunks

Preventing toggling off minor modes in nxhtml mumamo chunks

[Niels Geuts]

Hello group,

I want to use several minor modes in several nxhtml mumamo chunks, but the
minor modes are toggled off in those chunks. What can I do to prevent that? 

For instance:

I want to use linum-mode in nxhtml mumamo mode. I added the following line
to my .emacs:

(add-hook 'nxhtml-mode-hook 'linum-mode)

This adds line numbers to xhtml code, but when I move the cursor to a
PHP-chunk, the line numbers disappear and the following message is
displayed:

"Toggling linum-mode off; better pass an explicit argument."

What can I do to prevent this toggling off?

I use Emacs 22.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) on a Windows xp Professional SP 2
system

Many thanks,

Niels

Look in mumamo.el. There is a comment for "Minor Mode Authors".

mumamo.el:

;;
;; * For functions entered to local hooks use this
;;
;;     (put 'FUNSYM 'permanent-local-hook t)
;;     (add-hook 'HOOKSYM 'FUNSYM nil t)
;;
;;   where HOOKSYM is the hook and FUNSYM is the function.

This did not do the job:

(put 'linum-mode 'permanent-local-hook t)
(add-hook 'nxhtml-mode-hook 'linum-mode nil t)

But this did:

(add-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook 'linum-mode 'auto-fill-function)

However, this solution did not work for longlines-mode, which I use as well.
I now use the following less satisfying solution:

(add-hook 'nxhtml-mode-hook 'longlines-mode)
(add-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook 'longlines-mode)

I don't understand the difference in behaviour these two minor-modes
exhibit, but with no doubt this will be due to my limited understanding of
Emacs. Any comments would be welcomed.

Niels

Correction. This should be:

(add-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook 'linum-mode)

That didn't work for me (I think linum-mode toggles the mode) but this did:

(add-hook 'after-change-major-mode-hook 'linum-on) 

Now if I could only figure out how to have it not lose the font-colors when
going from Ruby mode to nXhtml mode... hmmm.
