I would strongly advise anyone trying emacs CVS if they use debian/ubuntu - you have to really know what you are doing to get it installed. Despite advice from ##emacs on irc, I never got it working - the cvs version clashes with the debian install packages. Having said that I use emacs-snapshot from synaptic and I got htmlmodedelux working. The jury is out on whether its better than c-mode for php and html-helper-mode, but it works. http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/HtmlModeDeluxe
