Introduction

html-helper-mode is an emacs mode to make editing HTML files easier, inspired by Marc Andreessen's html-mode. html-helper-mode does most of the things that html-mode does, but with a slightly different interface and lots of new features. (Emacs is a super-powerful editor that does everything in the world.)

Usage

1. Add these lines to your ~/.emacs init file:

   
   ;
   ; html-helper-mode
   ;
   (autoload 'html-helper-mode "html-helper-mode" "Yay HTML" t)
   (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.html$" . html-helper-mode) auto-mode-alist))
   (add-hook 'html-helper-load-hook '(lambda () (require 'html-font)))
   (add-hook 'html-helper-mode-hook '(lambda () (font-lock-mode 1)))
   
   

2. Now use Emacs to open an .html file and observe the color-contextual HTML fonts.
