Howdy, Switching over from Window Dev. Env EditPlus ==> Ftp-enabled browsing & editing, color/syntax-editing -- menu to choose file-type --> so easy Almost there with Emacs/XEmacs: (Emacs 101: Ctrl-x == C-x, Alt-x == M-x) C-x C-f ==> /jason@server 8830:/ ==> prompts for password, ftp-enabled browse & edit ... perfect! But, no file extensions, so we have to tell Emacs that a file w/ no extension is html M-x html-mode ... so I'm in html mode (right?) open main_template.html (copy on local) ... perfect coloring open main_template via ftp, M-x html-mode ... and just what's in """" is green??? Obviously this is just an Emacs question ... but I found all help out there useless beyond changing to html-mode. (I'm hoping emacs will prove its worth in minimal time ...) thanks so much!! Failed to get these to work for an ftp-enabled, colored syntax flexible dev. environment: K-Develop/Kate/Konqueror -- too much overhead GVIM --> easy to switch code/file-type from menu for color-editing ... but no ftp-enabled browse/edit Zope-External Editor: was able to view file in my browser of choice after install, and browser setup, and chmod +x zope_edit.py ... but couldn't get save to work.
