Re: [PLUG] which xemacs/emacs html mode is best?
|
It all depemnds on what version of xemacs that you are using. xemacs20
has a wonderful html mode built in, that is missing from the xemacs21
version. So I use the xemacs20 html mode where you can right click and
all of the html tags that are viable at where the cursor is will pop
up. Pick one and both the start and end tag are put into the document.
if the tag is like <ul> then the item tag is automatically inserted
into the document.
like
<ul>
<li>
</li>
</ul>
This makes for very fast html editing and total control of the
formating.
