Recently I ran into the problem when Emacs tried to interpret the Local Variables section in the "htmlized" file. I suggested to the author of htmlize.el to replace `Local Variables:' in the output by its HTML equivalent `Local Variables:' that Emacs doesn't recognize. With a new special variable HTML mode could set it to a value that matches the Local Variables section only inside HTML comments, and such problems of mistakenly using a Local Variables section wouldn't occur in packages that convert files to other representations. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
