html-helper-mode

html-helper-mode

[Hadron Quark]

I added

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.html$" . html-helper-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.htm$" . html-helper-mode))


to my .emacs but opening html files leaves my emacs in html-mode and not
html-helper mode.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the poster who pointed me here,

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

where I came across the following for my .emacs,

(fset 'html-mode 'html-helper-mode)

It does the trick. Thanks.

There is a way you can force a document to be opened in
html-helper-mode,
just insert <!-- -*-html-helper-*- --> at the top of your html code.

I know this is not "THE" solution, it's just a tip.

The problem is not html-mode, it's magic-mode-alist, so modify that:

(let ((magic-mode-assoc (rassq 'html-mode magic-mode-alist)))
   (when magic-mode-assoc
     (setcdr magic-mode-assoc 'html-helper-mode)))
