tempo error

tempo error

[Michael Powe]

When I try to edit an html file or anything else in that category
(.jsp, for instance), I get this error:

File mode specification error: (void-function tempo-define-template)

Can someone tell me where this might be coming from?  I have
html-helper-mode installed and it loads -- before the error I see the
message:

Loading html-helper-mode (source)...

tempo.el is in the path and this is in my .emacs:

(provide 'tempo)
(setq tempo-interactive t)

Background: this is a new installation.  I brought over my .emacs from
the old install and "fixed" this installation by adding anything
needed for emacs to run correctly (added in the optional items such as
cal-desk-calendar.el and so forth).  But I was using html-helper-mode
quite extensively, so I know there wasn't anything wrong with the
.emacs then.

Any thoughts as to why the tempo function does not appear to get
loaded?  (tempo-interactive's value is t.)  Thanks.

I've mucked around with this in every way I can imagine.  I've even
tried loading tempo.el manually in the scratch buffer with (load-file
"elisp/tempo.el") before editing an html file.  That just gets me a
different error:

File mode specification error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p
nil)

debug-on-error is not triggered by this error.

Help!  I want to get this working.

Thanks.

How can your .emacs file provide something that's in a different Elisp 
file? It can require though ...

Well, I don't know.  I know that I put that line in the .emacs on
March 16, 2003 and that I've edited a zillion html, jsp and asp files
with it since then.  Until now.  

On this new install, it didn't work.  Taking a cue from you, I went
back and changed 'provide' to 'require' and was still getting an error
-- until I remembered to comment out the (setq tempo-insert-region t)
line, which never worked.  Bingo.

Thanks for the tip -- it turned out to be the winner!  Now, I can
sleep tonight.  ;-)
