I use psgml in combination with MMM -- see the instructions here: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/HtmlModeDeluxe Getting psgml up and running -- especially getting the W3C DTDs (why oh why don't they make them all available in a single package) is a pain but very much worth it. Read up about psgml (use google) -- and if you're still interested and want some help using it for (X)HTML editing then drop me an email (if you just post to the NG I may miss it) and I can help you out (e.g. send you all the relevant DTDs, send you the relevant bits of my .emacs, etc.). I must say that I currently have one of the nicest (X)HTML editing environments I've ever used. It could be better, admittedly, and when I find some time I'd especially like to make some improvements to CSS mode, and I use javascript-generic-mode for javascript which is pretty bare-bones. But nevertheless, I think it's pretty damn nifty. Best, Darren -- ====================================================================== D. D.
