Hello !

Some time ago I posted question about Emacs PSGML package. So far I 
haven't got any response from here, but an individual replied 
following:

> I have tried hard but can't get emacs to do auto-indent for HTML and
> SGML.  Either I load sgml-mode by hand or load an document with .sgml
> or .html suffix it doesn't work.  I see that I'm in appropiate mode,

> but "newline-and-indent". I'm very new to Emacs, any suggestion is
> more than welcome.

Hello Vallo,

You are right, the SGML mode is broken in Emacs because docbook has not
yet been included.  The SGMLtools team tries to fix the PSGML mode of
emacs.  By then a sophisticated indentation scheme will be implemented.

So I have now next question, is this true or are things different 
when I use FreeBSD port of Emacs ? If it's true then comment about 
it should included with Nik Clayton primer for new contributors. I 
want to contribute, but yet I don't have editor for writing well 
styled DocBook documents. I don't want to send out badly formatted 
documents and my personal opinion is that most time should spent for 
real work not for styling document sources.
