Greetings. I use emacs for all text editing and I was running into a problem with editing ADP's. With html-helper-mode I can do things like narrow down to a JavaScript block and edit JavaScript with a JavaScript mode (syntax highlighting, language helpers, automatic indenting, etc...). I wished to have the same thing for editing Tcl blocks in my .adp's <% ... %>.
I made a few additions to the mode and it's now the perfect solution (I think). I have pretty HTML, HTML helpers, etc... Then when I'm in a <% ... %> block, I hit F10 and instantly I am in the emacs TCL mode with that block now the screen. I have all the benefits of the TCL mode, but inside of the ADP file. When I'm done, I hit F11 and it takes me back to the full file, and back into the pretty HTML editing mode. I have created a page on my wiki for more information, what you have to do, how to use it, etc... If you use emacs and do not already have a solution like this, you may want to take a peek: http://cowgar.com/wiki.adp?pagename=Programming%20AOL%20Server It would be interesting to see how many people would use this. If their is enough, maybe the authors of HTML-helper-mode will add this code into their distribution so that HTML-helper-mode would be able to edit ADP pages out of the box.
