See the manual for more details. + +C-u C-c C-n goes to the first error. + +20040910 +-------- + +C-c RET splits the current element as in PSGML. + +20040908 +-------- + +Indentation has been rewritten. Indentation of attribute names and +values should work better. The default value of +`nxml-attribute-indent' has been changed to 4. + +Syntax highlighting with a dark background should now work. + +20040726 +-------- + +The attribute pathSuffix on the uri element in schema locating files +has been replaced by a more general pattern attribute. The +transformURI element now has required fromPattern and toPattern +attributes. + +The schema related bindings have been changed to use C-c C-s as a prefix +as follows: + + C-c C-s => C-c C-s C-f (f for file) + C-c C-a => C-c C-s C-a + C-c C-t => C-c C-s C-t + C-c C-l => C-c C-s C-l + C-c C-w => C-c C-s C-w + +There's now an XML menu on the menu-bar. + +20031031 +-------- + +C-c C-d "dynamically" chooses a tag to put around the word before +point, rather like M-/. + +The mechanism for locating the schema has changed completely. The new +mechanism is described in the manual. Any existing customizations of +`rng-auto-element-alist' or `rng-auto-file-name-alist' will no longer +be effective. + +C-c C-a is now bound to rng-auto-set-schema. + +20031018 +-------- + +Unicode names can be used to insert characters with the new command +C-c C-u. Normally, this inserts a character reference. With a prefix +arg (i.e. C-u C-c C-u), it inserts the character directly. You can +customize `nxml-enabled-unicode-blocks' to control what Unicode blocks +are used for completing names. + +Extra information is displayed for character references. The Unicode +name is displayed in a tooltip. A glyph for the referenced character +is displayed in a distinguished face following the character +reference; this can be disabled by customizing +`nxml-char-ref-display-glyph-flag'. The command +`nxml-toggle-char-ref-extra-display' dynamically toggles the display +of extra information for character references for a particular buffer. +This can be used if the display of extra information is causing +performance problems. nXML mode tries to figure out which glyphs can +be displayed. Unfortunately Emacs doesn't provide the primitives +necessary to do this properly, so nXML mode has to guess and will +sometimes guess wrong. The hook `nxml-glyph-set-hook' can be used to +change nXML mode's guess. + +New command C-c C-w says what schema is being used. + +C-c C-s now turns on validation if it is not already on. + +20030928 +-------- + +M-q has been implemented so that it works reasonably with XML. Other +paragraph-related commands (M-{, M-}, M-h) have also been implemented. + +New command M-x rng-auto-set-schema to set the schema based on the +buffer's current contents and file-name. This is called automatically +when rng-validate-mode is first enabled. + +There's now a C-M-d to go with C-M-u. C-M-d moves forward down into +the content of an element. C-M-n and C-M-p move to the next or +previous element. + +By default, the sexp commands (C-M-f, C-M-b, C-M-k, C-M-SPC) operate +on tags rather than elements. To restore the old behaviour, +customize nxml-sexp-element-flag. + +The file TUTORIAL has been replaced by nxml-mode.info; this is in info +format and can be read using Emacs. The source is maintained in a +simple, ad-hoc XML format. + +20030915 +-------- + +XML encodings should now work properly. When saving a buffer, +nxml-mode arranges to use the encoding declared in the XML +declaration. If there is no encoding declared, then nxml-mode will +use utf-8 or utf-16 according to the user options +`nxml-prefer-utf-16-to-utf-8-flag' and +`nxml-prefer-utf-16-little-to-big-endian-flag'. If the chosen encoding +cannot encode all the characters in the buffer, nxml-mode will +complain and give the user an opportunity to use an encoding that can. + +A new command C-c C-x inserts an XML declaration. + +The option `nxml-auto-insert-xml-declaration-flag' automatically +inserts an XML declaration in new files. + +The `nxml-default-buffer-file-coding-system' option allows a different +default buffer-file-coding-system for nXML mode buffers. This affects +what XML declaration is inserted. + +Encoding names in XML declarations are now validated by +rng-validate-mode. + +RDF/XML schema was updated to version in 05 September 2003 WD. + +20030912 +-------- + +The tutorial has a new section on inserting end-tags. + +By default </ no longer automatically inserts the rest of the end-tag. +You can do + + M-x customize-variable RET nxml-slash-auto-complete-flag RET + +and then follow the instructions displayed in the buffer to get the +old behaviour. + +Completion after </ will complete the rest of the end-tag. Completion +after < will include the end-tag in the possibilities if allowed by +the schema. + +You can use C-c C-i instead of > to close the start-tag of an +inline-level element. After inserting the >, it will insert the +end-tag and leave point before the end-tag. The `i' is supposed to be +mnemonic for `inline'. C-c C-b is similar, but for block elements: the +start-tag, point and the end-tag will all be on separate lines. + +The binding for inserting an end-tag has changed from C-c / to C-c C-f +to comply with Emacs guidelines about what keys major modes should +bind. The `f' is supposed to be mnemonic for `finish'. + +Completion always puts point after all the characters it inserts. It +doesn't insert a `>' after completing a start-tag name. + +Completion no longer completes CDATA section and comment delimiters. + +The nxml-start-auto-coding command enables auto-detection of a file's +encoding as specified in the XML Recommendation for files that use +nxml-mode; rng-auto.el calls this. + +20030906 +-------- + +Validation messages applicable to point are displayed automatically. + +Completion can deal with prefixes that haven't yet been declared. + +rng-preferred-prefix-alist variable added. + +Namespace URIs can be completed. + +xmlns and xmlns:* attributes can be completed. + +CDATA section and comment delimiters can be completed. + +Each kind of completion has its own history. + +Completion function moved to nxml-mode; uses a hook to allow +schema-sensitive completion. Completion function bound to C-return. +Also bound to M-TAB as before, unless +nxml-bind-meta-tab-to-complete-flag is nil. When there is a window +system, nxml-bind-meta-tab-to-complete-flag is nil by default, This +avoid problems with M-TAB, which is not passed through by several +window systems/managers. + +TUTORIAL file added. + +NEWS file added. + +Bug fixes. + +20030901 +-------- + +Initial release. |
