Emacs: Xah HTML Mode
xah-html-mode is a emacs major mode for HTML5.
xah-html-mode is a pure HTML5 mode. It's designed for working with pure HTML5 with CSS.
How's it different from default HTML mode?
- xah-html-mode has keyword based coloring. If a word is not colored, it is not a valid HTML5 or CSS word. (This way, it's easy to spot typos.)
- xah-html-mode tag completion is much convenient to use, and contains all HTML5 keywords. Emacs default html mode is from around 1990s.
- xah-html-mode has large number of commands for working with HTML.
- xah-html-mode particularly features working with programing language source code. Easily embed source code, html syntax color it, or extract and edit the code in a buffer, similar to org mode's babel features. 〔►see Emacs: Org Mode, Programing Language Code Markup〕
Features
• Syntax coloring based on exact keywords, for all HTML5, CSS words. If it's not colored, it's not a valid tag.
• Curly quoted text are colored (as well as strings). (For example, “curly”.)
• tag insertion cammands. Press Tab to select a tag. They wrap a tag around text selection. If there's no selection, then decided smartly on word/line/block. When current selection or position is empty, it'll place your cursor in between the inserted tag.
• Convert text to table or reverse. xah-html-make-html-table, xah-html-make-html-table-undo.
• Convert lines to list xah-html-lines-to-html-list.
• Command to html syntax color computer language source code.
xah-html-toggle-syntax-coloring-markup
• Command to edit source code in a separate buffer.
xah-html-get-precode-make-new-file
Similar to org-mode's editing language source code
org-edit-special.
• Remove HTML tags: xah-html-remove-html-tags, xah-html-remove-span-tag-region
• Extract URL in a text selection. xah-html-extract-url.

• Change inline image tag and image file name. xah-html-rename-html-inline-image
Todo
here's major features am working on
• Add HTML validation feature. Possibly on-the-fly.
• Make it a complete HTML syntax aware editor. So that it's impossible to create invalid HTML.
• Possibly adding JavaScript and PHP keywords, to make it a general mode for web dev.
