Is anyone working on a DTML minor mode for emacs based on the HTML major mode? If not I think I might take a stab at doing it, then again, I've never written an emacs extension before so no promises.
Please do! This is the one thing that agrevates me the most, lack of solid emacs integration.
If anyone has experience with writing emacs lisp perhaps we could collaborate on a editing mode for DTML?
Don't look at me. :)
I was thinking this could be a nice way to avoid the somewhat tedious process of editing DTML code in the browser for emacs users by adding support for inserting the common DTML start/end tags. Also, some kind of indenting support for DTML would be nice, though this is a matter of style.
Someday it would be nice if emacs could interface via WebDAV directly.
Actually, I was thinking it would be nice to have a command-line based WebDAV client ala the ftp command so that emacs could access WebDAV via some simple mods to the angeftp mode. This way you could re-use the existing python WebDAV client code.
This probably a better short term solution than trying to hack webDAV into emacs. Brian has a webdav client library and so does Greg Stein. Making a command line tool from then would not be to hard. If you commit on doing the minor mode I'll write your command line tool. :) -Michel
