Description Nicolas Mailhot 2002-10-07 09:22:09 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809

Description of problem:
While psgml is awesome for sgml tags, its interest is severily limited for sgml
docs since it can't grok self-ending tags (<tag/> instead <tag></tag>).

These tags are both legitimate, necessary and common in xml since they help
reducing code bloat.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Example 1 : 

Type some imbricated tags, both in the compact form and expanded one, and watch
as <tab> indents tags after a compact one one level further (ie. psgml didn't
realize the compact tag is already closed)

Example 2 :

Try to validate the document. Psgml complains of missing end tags for all
compact tags.
	

Additional info:

This is becomming more serious as xml usage expands and psqml remains the
prefered xml-editing solution under emacs.

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2002-10-07 14:11:35 UTC

Are you using 'xml-mode' or 'sgml-mode'?  Indentation for XML files works fine 
for me. 
 
As for validation, it probably should use the command 'xmllint >/dev/null 
--loaddtd --valid' instead of nsgmls when in xml-mode.

Comment 2 Nicolas Mailhot 2002-10-07 14:36:36 UTC

Ok, I've checked another time, when I explicitely load xml-mode it works, when I
don't no luck.

So it seems the problem is RH 8.0 emacs will load psgml mode by default for xml
files (unless I redefined xml files default mode in my .emacs, but that does not
seem to be the case do you want my .emacs to check it ?)

(btw thanks for the validation tip)

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2002-10-13 20:29:47 UTC

I think I saw a patch float past psgml-devel that fixes this, although with an 
nsgmls command line still (by supplying 'xml.dcl' first).
