Re: transient-mark-mode broken in CVS and is there a better html-mode?

[Shug Boabby]

hi kevin,

that doesn't work... you see, html-mode still overrides it. searching
for "nxml for html" on the emacs wiki
  http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/NxmlMode
i found that you need to add the line:
  (setq xml-based-modes (cons 'nxml-mode xml-based-modes))
to .emacs.

however, even with that, i get the warning on start-up:
 An error has occurred while loading `/Users/shug/.emacs':
 Symbol's value as variable is void: xml-based-modes
xml-mode is still used for XML files, html-mode still for xhtml files.

it is too much hassle getting nxml-mode set up, so i have decided to
return to using the standard html-mode, which seems to be getting
better.
