Legacy web pages of Axel Beckert

Since I'm no more active at the Fachschaftsrat Informatik of the University of Saarland anymore, I have transferred all my university time legacy web pages from http://fsinfo.cs.uni-sb.de/~abe/ to this interim host at http://fsinfo.noone.org/~abe/ with only minimal modifications, mainly e-mail addresses.

The pages on this interim host won't be updated anymore until they are moved (and redirected) step by step to their future home somewhere on http://noone.org/

Please also note that my former e-mail address abe@fsinfo.cs.uni-sb.de is no more valid. Use abe@deuxchevaux.org instead.

Emacs HTML 3.2 Mode


What is HTML 3.2 Mode?

HTML 3.2 Mode is a major mode for Emacs (developed under GNU Emacs), which fastens up HTML writing by short-cuts for tags, entities and some useful functions like parameter quotifying, adding doctype string, etc. It is designed as replacement for the HTML (1.0) Mode (htmlmode.el) by Marc Andreessen marca@ncsa.uiuc.edu from the NCSA, but both can be used together on one system / Emacs, too.

What HTML 3.2 Mode is not:

HTML 3.2 Mode is not a mode for browsing HTML documents. In particular, HTML 3.2 Mode provides no hypertext or World Wide Web capabilities. It is not a syntax checking mode, either (Although it provides some error correcting routines...). It´s also no WYSIWYG mode. (How could it be? It´s an Emacs mode. Hmpf!)

See ftp://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/elisp/w3/ for w3.el, which is an Elisp World Wide Web browser written by William Perry.

The official HTML 3.2 recommendation and the SGML definition of HTML 3.2 can be found at the W3 Consortium.

Thanks to Eva ´Ms. Emacs´ Stopp for beta-testing the HTML 3.2 Mode, for implementing the help on the special characters and for providing HTML 3.2 Mode on all Emacs installations, she administrates.
