Subject: html-mode.el
OK, here's a first pass at an html-mode for Emacs.  Comments, bug
reports, and enhancements are welcome; the latest version will always
be on ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in /outgoing/marca as html-mode.el.

(Somebody already sent me an smgl-mode.el, so I expect I'll add
features from that pretty quickly.)

Enjoy,

Marc

;;; html-mode: Major mode for editing HTML hypertext documents.
;;; $Revision: 1.11 $
;;; $Date: 1992/11/18 03:20:43 $
;;;
;;; Canonical list of features:
;;;   See below.
;;;
;;; ------------------------------ INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------------
;;;
;;; Load html-mode.el before editing HTML documents.  html-mode will
;;; detect the ``.html'' suffix and activate itself appropriately.
;;;
;;; You are assumed to be at least somewhat familiar with HTML format.
;;; If you aren't, read about it first (see below).
;;;
;;; Here are key sequences and corresponding commands (in order of
;;; their key sequences):
;;;
;;; C-c a         html-add-address
;;;   Open an address element.
;;;
;;; C-c d         html-add-definition-list
;;;   Open a definition list.  The initial entry is created for you.
;;;   To create subsequent entries, use 'C-c e'.
;;;
;;; C-c e         html-add-definition-entry
;;;   Add a new definition entry in a definition list.  You are
;;;   assumed to be inside a definition list (specifically, at the end
;;;   of another definition entry).
;;;
;;; C-c h         html-add-header
;;;   Add a header.  You are prompted for size (1 is biggest, 2 is
;;;   next biggest) and header contents.
;;;
;;; C-c i         html-add-list-or-menu-item
;;;   Add a new list or menu item in a list or menu.  You are assumed
;;;   to be inside a list or menu (specifically, at the end of another
;;;   item).
;;;
;;; C-c l         html-add-normal-link
;;;   Add a link.  You will be prompted for the link (any string;
;;;   e.g., http://foo.bar/argh/blagh).  The cursor will be left where
;;;   you can type the text that will represent the link in the
;;;   document.
;;;
;;; C-c m         html-add-menu
;;;   Open a menu.  The initial item is created for you.  To create
;;;   additional items, use 'C-c i'.
;;;
;;; C-c p         html-add-paragraph-separator
;;;   Use this command at the end of each paragraph.
;;;
;;; C-c s         html-add-list
;;;   Open a list.  The initial item is created for you.  To create
;;;   additional items, use 'C-c i'.
;;;
;;; C-c t         html-add-title
;;;   Add a title to the document.  You will be prompted for the
;;;   contents of the title.  If a title already exists at the very
;;;   top of the document, the existing contents will be replaced.
;;;
;;; C-c x         html-add-plaintext
;;;   Add plaintext.  The cursor will be positioned where you can type
;;;   plaintext (or insert another file, or whatever).
;;;
;;; < > &
;;;   These are overridden to output &lt;, &gt;, and &amp;
;;;   respectively.  The real characters <, >, and & can be entered
;;;   into the text either by prepending 'C-c' to the character or by
;;;   using the Emacs quoted-insert (C-q) command.
;;;
;;; C-c <, C-c >, C-c &
;;;   See '< > &' above.
;;;
;;; ---------------------------- ADDITIONAL NOTES ----------------------------
;;;
;;; If you are running Epoch or Lucid Emacs, highlighting will be used
;;; to deemphasize HTML message elements as they are created.  You can
;;; turn this off; see the source code.
;;;
;;; -------------------------------- GOTCHAS ---------------------------------
;;;
;;; HTML documents can be tricky.  html-mode is not smart enough to
;;; enforce correctness or sanity, so you have to do that yourself.
;;;
;;; In particular, html-mode is smart enough to generate unique
;;; numeric NAME id's for all links that were (1) created via an
;;; html-mode command or (2) present in the file when it was loaded.
;;; Any other links (e.g. links added via Emacs cut and paste) may
;;; have ID's that conflict with ID's html-mode generates.  You must
;;; watch for this and fix it when appropriate; otherwise, your
;;; hypertext document will not work correctly.
;;;
;;; ------------------------- WHAT HTML-MODE IS NOT --------------------------
;;;
;;; html-mode is not a mode for *browsing* HTML documents.  In
;;; particular, html-mode provides no hypertext capabilities.  There
;;; is a clear need for an HTML browser; if you write one, let me
;;; know.
;;;
;;; ------------------------------ WHAT HTML IS ------------------------------
;;;
;;; HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a format for hypertext
;;; documents.  For more information on HTML, telnet to info.cern.ch.
