webdev modes

[Emory Smith]

hello,

can anyone recommend a particular mode or set of modes for editing 
html-type files? i use jdee for servlets and it works great, but i was 
looking for a good integrated solution for other types types of webdev 
docs (php,jsp, and html in particular).

i used html-helper-mode for some time and it never really worked well 
for me.

i recently switched over to using mmm-mode with 
html-mode/php-mode/css-mode/etc.  this works fairly well, but still has 
some issues, especially with indentation of html.  also bothersome is 
indentation of php whenever the file contains php comments (// or 
/**/).

id like to find the most flexible solution (i dont mind customizing the 
.el files a bit) - was just wondering what other people have found to 
work.

thanks, emory

well, it was some time ago, and i dont remember exactly why i disliked 
it.

i was using it primarily for jsp at the time and it seems like the 
indenting was poor in jsp and it didnt always recognize the embedded 
html in jsp files.  also, i never really figured out how to customize 
the html tags (i try to avoid the m-x customize whenever possible).

perhaps i did not give it a fair chance. if you think that it works 
better than the mmm/html/php/... solution, i will certainly give it 
another try.

thanks, emory
