The changes I made for Emacs 23/24 are trivial. We would need to get
the original author, David Rosenborg, to do the copyright assignment,

allow for him being on holiday) there is nothing to be done.

Why this to do? Because of nxml-mode it is important for Emacs to have
rnc-mode. Personally I write some own .rnc files and read a lot of SVG/XHTML
etc .rnc files in Emacs.

Also this is very stable package (as remarked in original discussion) so
additional maintenance is not required and this is big argument for inclusion
to Emacs or GNU elpa.

And I don't know how long Tom will be interested in maintaining rnc-mode. With
Emacs developers community this mode will be more living then with single
maintainer... Any further maintenance can be done with bug submission for
anyone.

That my suggestion. And I know that pu

I heard from some zealots that HTML5 documents like
  http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/rdf/raw-file/default/rdf-turtle/index.html
should be editable in emacs. The schema change (e.g. <section/> tags)
is pretty easy to handle, but I've no idea if nxml-mode could
conceivably handle the non-XML-ness of HTML5, e.g.
[[
<pre class="example">
  <script type="text/turtle">
< at >prefix : <http://example.org/elements> .
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium>
    :atomicNumber 2 ;               # xsd:integer
    :atomicMass 4.002602 ;          # xsd:decimal
    :specificGravity 1.663E-4 .     # xsd:double
  </script>
</pre>
]]

Does it make sense that there could be a feature to change the
escaping rules inside <script/> elements? (If anyone's dying to know
how to embed a script in a script, I'll find out.)

Anyways I'll raise an issue if a brief conversation here gives me
confidence that it's not an insane feature request.

Re: rnc-mode updated for GNU Emacs 23+

Tom Emerson — 2012-12-18T17:58:16


I wasn't implying that change is necessary for change's sake. However,
rnc-mode does not work on Emacs 23 and later without modification. That's
the reason I made the minor changes I did.




The link at the relaxng.org site goes to
http://www.pantor.com/download.htmlwhich no longer exists. As far as I
could tell, the only other way to get
rnc-mode was through your Linux distribution's package system, and at least
two have open bugs about the Emacs 23 problem.

http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/nxml-mode/Introduction.html

I suppose you could read that page to imply that they want to take over
rnc-mode, but that isn't explicitly stated. And if they do, that's fine. My
hope is that the updated mode would be useful to someone.

rnc-mode updated for GNU Emacs 23+

Tom Emerson — 2012-12-18T17:45:11

Greetings,

I noticed that rnc-mode has not been updated for quite some time, and
that the canonical download link at Pantor stopped working.

I created a repo on github for rnc-mode, and fixed it to work with GNU
Emacs 23 and 24. You can clone from here:

https://github.com/TreeRex/rnc-mode

I will be creating a Marmalade (or MELPA, I haven't decided yet)
package for it in the next day or so, which will make it easier for
people to install.

If you have features/bugs that you'd like addressed, feel free to
submit an issue on GitHub.

Share and enjoy,

Re: Re: Specifying outlining scheme

Peter Flynn — 2012-10-14T13:03:45

Yes, but I suspect (as you mention later) that most people tend to work
with the same schema most of the time. I have no data on this, and I'm
not aware that anyone has ever collected it.


This question has come up again and again in various forms over the
years, right back to the early SGML conferences, and I am discussing it
at length in my current research [1]. As far as I am aware, no-one has
ever come up with a set of semantics or heuristics that will take a
schema and identify "a section element" or "a list element" in a
generalised and extensible manner. There have been many editors that can
be configured (usually externally, by the user or by the person who
administers the software and the documentation management) so that they
"do the right thing" for the schema or schemas in most common use in an
organisation.

Indeed the Arbortext Editor's Architect program (a DTD/Schema compiler)
asks you after compilation to give the names of the elements types which
hold certain classes of data (section title

Dave Pawson — 2012-10-14T06:56:39

I apologise if I misinterpreted the question. I can now state that I
really don't understand it.
fyi. Having used nxml-mode since it was released (by James Clark, not
emacsen) I have never had to use nxml-section-element-name-regexp
so I can't see what the problem was. I assumed (wrongly it seems) that
you wanted to associate another schema with some subset of
the document that was not a valid start point for the schema in use.




I do work in docbook, but also about a dozen others, some my own...
how does this affect your question?




Clearly not. I use elisp a little, but not enough to rise to JC level of code.

a reasonable function and scope at which to do the

Re: Specifying outlining scheme

How terrifically unclear I must have been for you to imagine that "read the documentation" could be a helpful response! :-) Let me try to do a better job than my initial poor attempt:

Manually changing "nxml-section-element-name-regexp" every time I open a new XML file that has a different associated schema (to be excruciatingly explicit: I've read the documentation, schemas are being loaded just fine, and are beside the point of the question) is an error-prone waste of my time. My question was whether there's some trick to avoiding this that I haven't grokked and, assuming not (given I've of course read the documentation and far too many web ramblings as well, along with goodly chunks of the code), whether anyone has a patch that would produce the fairly obvious solution of letting people store (what is, after all, meta-schema information that doesn't logically belong in an editor variable) this directive inside their .rnc schema file as an annotation?

Perhaps nxml-mode users are very homogenous and prett

Specifying outlining scheme

RonB — 2012-10-12T17:26:20

nxml outlining doesn't work for me, since I don't happen to use the schema that nxml-section-element-name-regexp assumes. I don't want to set that every time I edit a file using a different schema. How do people normally deal with that?

Since the price of admittance to using nxml on custom XML is creating a .rnc schema anyway, seems like that would be the natural place to store that information, e.g., as an annotation. Has anybody written such a patch?

completion in nxml

RonB — 2012-10-11T21:00:17

Newbie. Downloaded latest Gnu Emacs for Windows. Studying nxml. It appears that:

a) Lots of websites tell you that nxml-complete is bound to C-RET.
b) This is not true in GNU Emacs 24.2.1.
c) nxml-complete isn't bound to any key
d) C-RET isn't bound to any function
e) completion-at-point is bound to Alt-tab, inconvenient if not useless for Windows users.

After some poking around, I went with adding this line:

     (global-set-key [C-return] 'completion-at-point)

to my .emacs.d/init.el file. The question was, assuming I want completion bound to ctrl-return instead of Alt-Tab, was this a reasonable way to do it?
