I think I remember seeing somebody submit a patch to add a .xml -> xml-mode mapping to auto-mode-alist, but you'll also need an .xhtml -> xml-mode mapping for this, I guess. Ooh, html3-mode is still listed in auto-mode-alist. That doesn't exist anymore. Can somebody rip that out of there? In general, yes. However, specific XML DTDs (such as XHTML) may have more logical file extensions. Maybe we should have something like this in auto-mode-alist (although I'm not sure it would help): ("\\.x.*ml\\'" . xml-mode) It messes up on some of the <link> and <meta> tags on some of my pages. I've never tried to track down why, though. It might be easy to fix. I'll admit that I've never had PSGML give a false warning on the body of a document (although the HTML I write tends to be extremely simple in form). Anyway, back to the topic of making PSGML's warnings parseable by compilation-mode. Have you tried trapping them with (current-message)? -- Jerry James Email: james(a)eecs.ukans.edu WWW: http://www.eecs.ukans.edu/~james/
