ok, I bit the bullet.

I followed the instructions here:

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/HtmlModeDeluxe

having installed php-mode, downloaded stefans css-mode, mmm-mode and pqsml from synaptic in Ubuntu.

I created a "my-mmm.el" pasting in the code listed there to configure
the html editing.

It all worked well "enough".

The default hiliting is attrocious IMO and I had to change
mmm-default-submode-face to grey12.  The mode changes when I am in
embedded php.

Interestingly though css-mode is the major mode for css files, not mmm
mode. Any ideas why?
