Bob: You are 100% correct. I didn't want to write a DTD for dtml (though this is probably the "right" solution) so instead I went searching for other options. Here's what I found: If you use hm--html-mode, there's a variable called: hm--html-tag-name-alist where I added some definitions for dtml. (basically I just added dtml-in and a multi tag and dtml-var as a single tag). Then, I set up xemacs to use hm--html-mode for the dtml stuff. To do the indentation with hm--html-mode then, you have to hilight the area you want indented, then hit TAB. Problem solved! And now I have beautifully indented dtml docs!! If anyone wants a copy of what I put in my .emacs for the tag-name-alist. Let me know. On Mon, Jun 05, 2000 at 06:31:41PM -0700, Bob Finch wrote:
