nXhtml

Is there a complete and re-open (super C-c C-f)?

Asked by Daniel Thompson

I'm very pleased with nxhtml and was pondering if there were any ways in which a WYSIWYG editor is more productive. One thing that struck me was handling paragraph or list endings.

In other words when we are here:

--- cut here ---
  <p>
    First paragraph is about to end.
--- cut here ---

We don't just want the closing tag (C-c C-f) we also want to re-open the same tag and get ready to enter more text. The same applied to <li> and other similar tags.

Basically I'd just like to know if this already exists? I'd watched the completion video (which I enjoyed) and concluded no but thought I'd ask anyway.

Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks, that looks like a good idea. There is nothing like that currently.

I am not sure what to do about it at the moment. Since the closing of a tag depends on nxml-mode I might take this to Emacs developers mailing list and see if something like that can be added to nxml-mode (and perhaps other similar modes).

Thanks for the reply. That would certainly explain why I didn't find the completion code when I looked. I'm not on any emacs lists at present but guess maybe I ought to be.

Perhaps its even time for me to learn elisp...

Great idea. I would love to see this feature as well.
