mhtml-mode

mhtml-mode

[Emanuel Berg via Users list for the GNU Emacs text editor]

`mhtml-mode', or "HTML+ mode" (why two names BTW?) seems to be
the new default mode for HTML!

And it seems to have a bunch of improvements aside from what
it states with `C-h M', which is "based on ‘html-mode’, but
works with embedded JS and CSS."

I didn't do embedded JS/CSS so far (or "inline JS/CSS" as some
people say) - maybe I never will? - but based on my intuition
and first impression the mode seems very good!

What does "m" stand for? "meta"?

The source seems a bit incomplete tho formally with
"Commentary" being empty and also

  (checkdoc-current-buffer t)

reporting the following possible improvements:

  *** mhtml-mode.el.gz: checkdoc-current-buffer
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:368: The footer should be: (provide 'mhtml-mode.el)\n;;; mhtml-mode.el.gz ends here
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:89: Argument ‘mode’ should appear (as MODE) in the doc string
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:89: Lisp symbol ‘make-mhtml--submode’ should appear in quotes
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:114: All variables and subroutines might as well have a documentation string
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:121: All variables and subroutines might as well have a documentation string
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:142: All variables and subroutines might as well have a documentation string
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:166: All variables and subroutines might as well have a documentation string
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:174: All variables and subroutines might as well have a documentation string
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:208: All variables and subroutines might as well have a documentation string
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:214: All variables and subroutines might as well have a documentation string
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:218: All variables and subroutines might as well have a documentation string
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:233: All variables and subroutines might as well have a documentation string
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:263: All variables and subroutines might as well have a documentation string
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:304: All variables and subroutines might as well have a documentation string
  mhtml-mode.el.gz:311: Argument ‘arg’ should appear (as ARG) in the doc string

When you have written a great mode such a small thing is so
easy to fix, and even if one thinks it is meaningless, hey, if
it's meaningless, on might as well do it ...

Based on one of the file names (test/manual/indent/html-multi.html) in
the commit[1] introducing mhtml-mode, I'd guess "multi".
You could try asking Tom to be sure.

Well, great work anyway! Tom wow wow :)

No, that's a much better guess than mine (because it makes
more sense) still "multi" isn't used so often in the computer
world, is it?

With tools it is very common tho ... multitool, multimeter
etc.

Multiplexer (MUX) - but that's more electronics than computing
(as in programming and HTML), right? Multics is the joke ...
no Unix is the joke?

Multiprogramming ... Multiplayer!

MULTI-PA-AS!

Actually I was wrong, it is very even ...

  $ as multi\* | wc -l
  451

  $ as meta\* | wc -l
  461
