Yes, that's the upstream site.

This is completely bad-assed. :)

James/Tim... anyone from 'tother side of the pond. What's the translation of this please :[ (I think he likes it... or not?)

Sorry about that; I wrote the first thing that came to my mind, which probably made little sense to most people here (given the international scope of this list). My apologies.

What I was trying to say was that the nxml-mode package provides many useful features, and makes it much easier to write XML-based documents. I've only been testing it out for an hour or so total, but already it seems to be overwhelmingly superior to the other packages I've tried. :)

So, how does on start using nXML mode after installing the rpm?

After you install the RPM, visiting any file that ends in ".xhtml" should switch to nXML mode (unless the file explicitly sets a different mode). If not, you can explicitly call M-x nxml-mode.

There is a cursory Info document ("nXML Mode") that describes most of the features.

You can use the Custom feature to experiment with different faces. At the moment, I'm using this:

(custom-set-variables ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it! ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance. ) (custom-set-faces ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it! ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance. '(mode-line ((((type x w32 mac) (class color)) (:background "navy" :foreground "yellow" :box (:line-width -1 :style released-button))))) '(nxml-comment-content-face ((t (:foreground "yellow4")))) '(nxml-delimited-data-face ((t (:foreground "lime green")))) '(nxml-delimiter-face ((t (:foreground "grey")))) '(nxml-element-local-name-face ((t (:inherit nxml-name-face :foreground "medium turquoise")))) '(nxml-name-face ((t (:foreground "rosy brown")))) '(nxml-tag-slash-face ((t (:inherit nxml-name-face :foreground "grey")))))

(Although this probably won't look decent unless you use whitish text on a blackish background.)
