In Search of Original Authors of XEmacs Website Documents 25 years

Adrian Aichner

Hello All, while I go through the content of the website, I am finding some documents of unknown authorship. All of these *.content files were originally .html files. John S. Jacobs Anderson converted them for genpage. genpage is still used sucessfully to provide a common look of all pages. We are also using a genpage recipe now to automatically retain relative links at any level of the document hierarchy. I'll update document authorship if someone can provide me with definitive information for any of these: xemacsweb\About: -rw-rw-rw- 1 AichnerAd 5 8157 Aug 17 23:04 XEmacsVsGNUemacs.content -rw-rw-rw- 1 AichnerAd 5 1025 Aug 17 19:45 Y2Kstatement.content xemacsweb\Documentation: -rw-rw-rw- 1 AichnerAd 5 3346 Aug 18 22:53 index.content -rw-rw-rw- 1 AichnerAd 5 18177 Aug 18 22:51 packageGuide.content xemacsweb\Download: total 164 -rw-rw-rw- 1 AichnerAd 5 1398 Aug 18 23:31 elispSites.content -rw-rw-rw- 1 AichnerAd 5 9522 Aug 18 23:32 index.content -rw-rw-rw- 1 AichnerAd 5 2007 Aug 18 23:32 optLibs.content Also, if you find any incorrect authorship, please inform me or commit a corrected version yourself.

Given the above, do you > have a suggestion to make this work both for HTML and XML? Oh, now I see what you are trying to do. Well, since the information you want doesn't appear to be stored anywhere, how about parsing it out of the buffer again? Something like this should do the trick: (save-excursion (goto-char (point-min)) (sgml-with-parser-syntax (let (start) (sgml-skip-upto "MDO") (setq start (point)) (sgml-skip-upto-mdc) (forward-char 1) (buffer-substring start (point))))) > Does XEmacs PSGML package 1.18 come with full XML support? I can't > seem to find a full XML DTD in it? How would one use it to create XML > documents? It has some XML support. The XHTML 1.0 DTD is included in the package. You could try using that to get a feel for it. [The next part deals with using (sgml-next-trouble-spot) to get a list of problems in a document.] > I would like to generate an error message parsable by compilation-mode > to jump to those errors via next-error. Have you considered using (sgml-validate (sgml-default-validate-command)) to invoke a real SGML validator (say nsgmls)? That would put all the error messages in a buffer, ready for parsing by compilation-mode. It also would eliminate the false positives that sgml-next-trouble-spot tends to generate in some situations. (PSGML isn't a full SGML parser, although it does a pretty good job.) I think that would be a lot easier. On the other hand, nsgmls doesn't have DTDDECL support, so it generates lots of bogus messages, too. You'd have to throw away or ignore every message containing the string DTDDECL. Or fix nsgmls. :-) -- Jerry James Email: james(a)eecs.ukans.edu WWW: http://www.eecs.ukans.edu/~james/

Unfortunately, jde doesn't work very well. In my experience (mainly from fsfmacs on nt), jde doesn't respond well at all to byte-compiling. As you probably noticed, you get tons of warnings when byte-compiling, and lots of runtime errors (due to unexpanded macros at compile time). Fixing jde to byte-compile cleanly is probably very hard, so I guess you have two options: either skip compiling altogether (which seems to be what the author recommends), or make sure you load all the source files into xemacs before compiling (to make sure macro definitions are in place). /dan -- Dan Ola Holmsand Innehållsbolaget dan(a)innehall.com

.emacs 25 years

Miller, Jon

Hello, I'm working on a very striped down HP-UX system. I myself had to install less, bash, etc... I got the admin to install emacs, but he didn't install xemacs. Nevertheless, I much happier than before... But getting to the point... I can't seem to find help about setting up the .emacs file. I just want key words highlighted for shell scripts, c, java, etc... Perhaps, there is a nice default .emacs file out there somewhere??? thanks, Jon Miller
