Emacs has only one built-in HTML renderer, it is called shr.el. > Would it be possible to change MIME display to show users, somehow, > what package it is using to render HTML? Ideas for how to do this are welcome. Do we have any machinery in Emacs to show similar information in other similar conditions? For example, visiting a file of some type automatically shows that file in some format. The way we should this is via the major mode name in the mode line. So perhaps we should mentions shr in the mode line as well in these cases, as minor mode or somesuch?
