emacs vs xhtml

emacs vs xhtml

[Bruce Ingalls]

Generally, I have a hook, to fill (word wrap) all html files at 80 cols.
There is one file, which I have overridden the fill, by

...
<!-- Turn off word-wrap for this file (without Emacs prompting to eval 
local vars)
\f
Local Variables:
fill-column: 999
End:
-->
</body>
</html>

Where the char before the Local Variables line is a ^L form feed.

Unfortunately, such chars are illegal under x[ht]ml.

I want my file to validate correctly under xhtml strict.
I tried <pre> tags, amongst others.
Any suggestions?

BTW, part of the problem is that table rows don't indent nicely under
html helper mode.

Have you tried to put <!-- -*- fill-column: 9999 -*- -->
somewhere on the first line of your file ?

How do they indent, how should they indent instead ?
You know... the usual bug-reporting info...

Just omit it, then...
