<title>Differences between html-mode and html-helper-mode</title>
<h1>Differences between html-mode and html-helper-mode</h1>
There are several similarities between html-helper-mode and html-mode
This isn't surprising, since my mode was inspired by
html-mode. Here's an (incomplete) list of the differences:<p>
<dl>
<dt> Insertion philosophy
<dd> html-mode frequently prompts the user in the minibuffer for
the data to fill in fields like titles or headers.
In html-helper-mode, prompting is a user-controlled option.<p>
<dt> Modifying regions
<dd> In html-helper-mode, every command will instead
modify the region if it is called with a prefix argument.<p>
<dt> Automatic text insertion
<dd> html-helper-mode can automatically insert skeletons for
new documents and also maintain timestamps.<p>
<dt> Minimal syntax support
<dd> html-helper-mode does its best to tell emacs about the syntax
of HTML documents.<p>
<dt> Indentation
<dd> html-helper-mode indents nested lists<p>
<dt> Highlighting
<dd> HTML cookies are coloured nicely with hilit19.<p>
<dt> Keymap
<dd> A few obsolete cookies
have been removed, a few new cookies have been added, and
the keybindings have been completely rearranged to be compliant with
emacs standards.<p>
<dt> Completion
<dd> HTML cookies can be completed in the buffer with M-TAB.<p>
<dt> Missing features
<dd> Some features of html-mode are not included. These include the
ability to quotify old-style HREFs and automatic naming of anchors<p>
