You should probably try html-helper.el instead of the default psgml-mode.
After all, psgml is more handy for SGML authoring.

Re: indenting in html

[Dominique]

Hi,

It sounds to me like a possible solution. Would you please comment more? 
I cannot find html-helper-mode.el on emacs gnu page while google finds 
me lots of things, which just dont work.

thanks a lot

Re: indenting in html

[Dominique]

YES finally I got it working (it was among a few that I have googled 
down). Big thanks!!!

It's only for emacs, and won't work under xemacs, will it?

thanks for all the help

XEmacs, I believe, uses PSGML for HTML.  You have to install this
separately for Emacs.

Highlighting is not so difficult.  See the files generic.el and
generic-x.el (contains examples).

Indentation is not trivial, but depending on what you want, it might
be easy enough to do.

The development version of Emacs (available from savannah's CVS repository)
does offer automatic indentation.  But Emacs-21.[123] doesn't have
this feature.

Indenting is often fairly tricky, which is why it took so long for
sgml-mode to offer it.

indenting in html

[Dominique]

hi,

i'm new to emacs, although I know xemacs a bit. I have problems with 
indenting in html file. It just doesnt work - unlike xemacs, it doesnt 
indent lines when I press TAB. Indenting in c and perl works fine, like 
in xemacs.
I have emacs 21.1.1

Another thing: is it easy to create my own highlighting/indenting scheme 
for my custom language?

please help
