There are also html-mode and html-helper-mode which add sections to the
menu (html, sgml, etc.) Both insert html tags, headers, lists, etc. and
position the cursor appropriately. I have this in my .emacs:

(autoload 'html-helper-mode "html-helper-mode" "Yay HTML" t)
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.html$" . html-helper-mode)

    auto-mode-alist))

(setq html-helper-build-new-buffer t)

Since I don't really use html much, I don't remember where all this came
from. Html-helper-mode might not be part of Emacs (I have it in the
site-lisp directory) but it can be downloaded here:
