You've probably all read this (it was on c.e.x. after all), but I'd
like to ask here -- does anyone know more about this?

HTML is quite an important matter nowadays, and we should have good
support for it.  Many people don't like psgml-html, which I think is
excellent.

I think we should have features from other HTML modes added to
psgml-html without the confusion that we currently have.  Even better,
we should find a good SGML/HTML mode out there that works with XEmacs,
and just bundle it.

Good god, what are those functions doing in that code? This is the
first I've heard of it, but it sounds like there's some unholy union
of three different HTML modes in xemacs. If someone can explain the
situation to me I'd be most curious.

I'm really not going to be able to help you with whatever is in
xemacs. I don't have time now to install it and see what parts of my
code were incorporated. Maybe someone from the xemacs team can explain
what is going on. I'd be curious myself. html-helper-mode should run
by itself just fine in xemacs, btw, although you'll need to be careful
about making sure you load it after all the stuff built into xemacs.

In my mode the worst that happens if you don't run
html-helper-rebuild-menu is the menus won't work. The keybindings will
still be there.

Oh, that's out of date. I made a note in the docs, sorry.

I agree. I added all the customizable tag support in hhm but ran out
of steam soon afterwards. No one has ever done much with it. If you do
come up with a nice example, please send it to me and I'll add it to
my web page.
