It doesn't run in emacs 22 and it's not trivial to fix. Am glad to announce that Marco Pessotto has fixed many problem and is actively developing the mode. Now it works in emacs 22. You can get the current version at: http://xahlee.org/3d/povray_emacs.html or direct link at http://xahlee.org/emacs/pov-mode-mp-2.16.tar.gz (this direct link won't work for long since the version gets updated about weekly) This mode features customizable syntax coloring, keyword completion, keyword documentation lookup, over 200 templates insertion (such as inc files, color, lighting, shape, transformation ...etc templates), toolbar, and other features. He's looking for feedback, especially Windows users. (he's on linux, i'm on OSX) Right now, there are still some imperfections... For example, a shell script is used to =E2=80=9Cinstall=E2=80=9D it by modifying the elisp file t= o add paths to POV-Ray documentation. However, it works quite well as is. So, if you use POV-Ray, please give it a try and give him feedback. (his email address is in the file.) Thanks. Xah xah@xahlee.org =E2=88=91 http://xahlee.org/ =E2=98=84
