Having you looked at mixing the modes using MMM in Emacs? Check out the distribution editors/mmm-asp-perl.el file for how I set it up. You can get mmm-mode from here: http://mmm-mode.sourceforge.net/ It has its limitations, but it does seem to work better for me than what you are doing, which is what I did for years before. For convenience, I have copied the mmm-asp-perl.el file contents below: ;;; Apache::ASP mmm-mode config, by Joshua Chamas, 6/17/2001 (require 'mmm-auto) (require 'mmm-compat) (require 'mmm-vars) (setq mmm-global-mode 'maybe) ; sets meta-p to reparse buffer in case the buffer does ; no update automatically while typing (global-set-key "\M-p" 'mmm-parse-buffer) ;; create asp-perl mmm-mode subclass (mmm-add-group 'asp-perl '((asp-perl-blocks :submode perl-mode :match-face (("<%" . mmm-code-submode-face) ("<%=" . mmm-output-submode_face)) :front "<%=?" :back "%>" ))) ; .asp, .htm, .inc files will be parsed with mmm-mode (add-to-list 'mmm-mode-ext-classes-alist '(nil "\\.\\(asp\\|htm\\|inc\\)" asp-perl)) (add-hook 'mmm-major-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill) ; turn off background color for code blocks, may set it if you like (set-face-background 'mmm-default-submode-face nil) ;(set-face-background 'mmm-default-submode-face "gray") ; set major mode for these files to HTML mode, except global.asa which you ; want to treat as a pure perl file (setq auto-mode-alist (append '( ("\\.pm$" . cperl-mode) ("\\.asa$" . cperl-mode) ("\\.inc$" . html-mode) ("\\.htm" . html-mode) ("\\.asp$" . html-mode) ) auto-mode-alist)) --Josh ________________________________________________________________ Josh Chamas, Founder phone:925-552-0128 Chamas Enterprises Inc. http://www.chamas.com NodeWorks Link Checking http://www.nodeworks.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
