SYNOPSIS

html - HyperText Markup Language File.

FILES

hkhtml.emf - HyperText Markup Language file hook definition
html.eaf - HyperText Markup Language abbreviation file

MAGIC STRINGS

<html>

MicroEmacs recognizes the magic string on any of the first 4 lines of the file. The HTML files may be extension-less and are still recognized.

DESCRIPTION

The html file type template provides simple hilighting of HTML files. Additionally, MicroEmacs is capable of rendering simple HTML files (without graphic content) into the current buffer and follow the hyper text links. The JASSPA HTML documentation may be viewed in this way.

Hilighting

The hilighting features allow commands, variables, logical, preprocessor definitions, comments, strings and characters of the language to be differentiated and rendered in different colors.

Abbreviations

abbrev-list(3)

Navigation via Item List

item-list(3)

Short Cuts

The short cut keys used within the buffer are:-

C-c C-h - Help information.
C-c C-a - Toggle the HTML author status.
html-spell-check-word - spell check the current word.
f6 - List items.
esc f6 - Close item list,

Rendered Mode

<RETURN>

The rendered mode is typically used to check HTML text after it has been authored from the editor. The rendered mode only caters for regular HTML 2.0 text. It does not handle tables or frames etc. (use a browser).

Toggling between rendered and authoring mode, then the buffer should be killed as the translation is only performed when the file is read.

The non-author mode can be permanently enabled by setting the Use Author Mode option in the buffer-setup(3) dialog to 'N'. When set to N any HTML files loaded are automatically processed, and rendered according to their HTML content.

NOTES

The print driver may be used to generate HTML from the contents of the buffer. Select the printer destination as buffer, and HTML as the driver. The buffer being printed is converted to HTML and dumped in the print buffer.

.hts and .htp are computer generated extended HTML files used in the MicroEmacs documentation system.
