Subject: html-mode.el update
Following is the latest html-mode -- a few bugs have been fixed, and
some new features added. If you use this, send me a note; if you have
ideas on how it could specifically be made to be smarter and more
helpful, let me know; if you don't think I should be mailing this to
everyone on www-talk, let me know that too (there was quite a bit of
initial interest in an html mode, so that's why I'm mailing it out
now).
Cheers,
Marc

;;;
;;; html-mode: Major mode for editing HTML hypertext documents.
;;; $Revision: 1.18 $
;;; $Date: 1992/11/19 05:39:25 $
;;;
;;; 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:
;;;
;;; NORMAL COMMANDS:
;;;
;;; 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).
;;;
;;; COMMANDS THAT OPERATE ON THE CURRENT REGION:
;;;
;;; C-c C-r l html-add-normal-link-to-region
;;; Add a link that will be represented by the current region. You
;;; will be prompted for the link (any string, as with
;;; html-add-normal-link).
;;;
;;; C-c C-r r html-add-reference-to-region
;;; Add a reference (a link that does not reference anything) that
;;; will be represented by the current region. You will be prompted
;;; for the name of the link; if you just press RET, a numeric name
;;; will be created for you.
;;;
;;; SPECIAL COMMANDS:
;;;
;;; <, >, &
;;; These are overridden to output <, >, and &
;;; 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.
;;;
;;; NOTE: The key bindings above are what I find to be useful and easy
;;; to remember. If you have ideas on how to make them easier to
;;; handle for yourself or other people, please let me know.
;;; (Ideally, these commands all go in menus; to that end, someday
;;; soon I'll add a Lucid Emacs menu to html-mode.)
;;;
;;; ---------------------------- 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.
;;;
;;; To reorder all of the link NAME fields in your message (in order
;;; of their occurrence in the text), use:
;;;
;;; html-reorder-numeric-names
;;; Reorder the NAME fields for links in the current buffer. The
;;; new ordering starts at 1 and increases monotonically through the
;;; buffer. If optional arg REORDER-NON-NUMERIC is non-nil, then
;;; non-numeric NAME's will also be numbered, else they won't.
;;;
;;; -------------------------------- 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.
;;;
;;; html-reorder-numeric-names can be used to reset all of the NAME
;;; id's in a document to an ordered sequence; this will also give
;;; html-mode a chance to look over the document and figure out what
;;; new links should be named to be unique.
;;;
;;; ------------------------- 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.
