I've traditionally used XEmacs. I'm trying to get the same behavior I am used to with XEmacs (out of the box). The reason I'm working with (GNU) Emacs is because it seems to be ahead WRT UTF-8 support. This is a very important feature for me. If I load my files in the Emacs 21.1 which shipped with SuSE, it automatically uses color syntax highlighting. This may result from something SuSE did to modify their Emacs installation. I've found some examples of adding a bunch of stuff to the .emacs to get color syntax highlighting, but I have the feeling there is a 'default' that I should have available. What is the normal behavior of Emacs? Should it give me color syntax highlighting in XML mode by default? Is there a 'helper' package to go along with psgml? -- STH
