It's a start. If Emacs detects text properties in fundamental mode recommending to switch to enriched mode (M-x enriched-mode RET) could help; plus a link to the manual. More isn't needed make the user pay attention. > Would you like to help work on it? Personally I'm more interested in other areas (psgml and DocBook resp. TEI support using speedbar; improving the usability of po-mode.el). Since my knowledge in programming is rather limited, it takes time. I think it will help to forward reports of new users (it hard to convince them to write reports on their own). -- ke@suse.de (work) / keichwa@gmx.net (home): | http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | ,__o Free Translation Project: | _-\_<, http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/ | (*)/'(*)
