ok i can't get nxhtml mode to work, but i've been diddling around with
nxml mode and i like it! i've been looking through this doc:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/nxml-mode.html

it's similar to the old html-mode in some ways, but much better!

now, i need to figure out how to stop html-helper-mode from taking over
when i open an html file, so i can jump right into nxml-mode. haven't
done much of that sort of thing.

thx for your help!
