Created attachment 159839 [details] Change in en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/editor-config/chapter.xml FDP requires following guidelines: - Word wrap set to 70 characters. - Tab stops set to 2. - Replace each group of 8 leading spaces with a single tab. Configuration for Emacs is suggested in FDP Primer: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/editor-config-emacs.html However, this method(psgml-mode) is not a good one, because: 1. It doesn't work properly. 2. It's too old. 3. It is not the built-in feature of Emacs. When editing xml files with *modern* Emacs, nxml-mode is usually recommended. It is also default setting for Emacs. nxml-mode combined with auto-fill-mode can do the job. Specifically, adding this line to ~/.emacs: (add-hook 'nxml-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill) I'm translating some articles with this configuration, and it seems to be working well. P.S. These are my questions related to this topic: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-doc/2015-June/025339.html http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31359658/emacs-configuration-for-xml-files-of-freebsd-documentation-project https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/emacs-configuration-for-freebsd-documentation-project.51857/#post-294083 And this is a manual for nxml-mode from GNU Project. https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/nxml-mode/index.html
The patch removes the wordwrap and indent settings. Does nxml-mode have these set by default?
(In reply to Warren Block from comment #1) Yes. nxml-mode provides 'tab stops set to 2' and 'replace each group of 8 leading spaces with a single tab'. auto-fill-mode provides 'word wrap set to 70 characters'. It would be appreciated if someone experts in FDP tests for this configuration. This is not a *perfect* solution because of the indentation issue(https://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=119948+0+archive/2015/freebsd-doc/20150719.freebsd-doc), but this one would be more helpful than the previous one.
Committed, thanks!
