Hi Matt, I'm currently revising old emacs21 bugs.

You mean html-href-anchor rather than html-name-anchor, I think. > --- emacs21-21.2/lisp/textmodes/sgml-mode.el Fri Feb 22 02:51:40 2002 > +++ emacs21/lisp/textmodes/sgml-mode.el Tue Aug 20 15:06:44 2002 > @@ -1303,7 +1303,7 @@ > (define-skeleton html-href-anchor > "HTML anchor tag with href attribute." > "URL: " > - '(setq input "http:") > + '(setq input "http://";) > "<a href=\"" str "\">" _ "</a>") > > (define-skeleton html-name-anchor While this is an improvement, it is probably better to not have any initial input at all, since many links will not start with http://. Quoting Juri Linkov from [1]: ,---- | 3. html-href-anchor skeleton asking for an URL has an initial input | `http:'. This is inconvenient since `http://' is not the only one | possible URL prefix. And even if it is more frequent, full URLs | are rarely typed by hand, but more often copied from other places. `---- So, in emacs22 the initial input for html-href-anchor is empty. Unless you strongly object to that reasoning, I will close the bug after the emacs21 package is removed (which should happen some time after the Lenny release).
