Function: html-mode

Major mode based on SGML mode for editing HTML documents.
This allows inserting skeleton constructs used in hypertext documents with
completion. See below for an introduction to HTML. Use
C-c C-v to see how this comes out. See also `sgml-mode' on
which this is based.

Do C-h v html- SPC and C-h v sgml- SPC to see available variables.

To write fairly well formatted pages you only need to know few things. Most
browsers have a function to read the source code of the page being seen, so
you can imitate various tricks. Here's a very short HTML primer which you
can also view with a browser to see what happens:

have

Very Major Headlines

Very Minor Headlines

Paragraphs only need an opening tag. Line breaks and multiple spaces are
ignored unless the text is

preformatted.

href="URL">see also URL where URL is a filename relative to current
directory, or absolute as in `http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/w3/docs.html'.

Images in many formats can be inlined with .

If you mainly create your own documents, `sgml-specials' might be
interesting. But note that some HTML 2 browsers can't handle `''.
To work around that, do:
(eval-after-load "sgml-mode" '(aset sgml-char-names ?' nil))
