I suppose at least the xml and sgml tests are little bit too aggressive. No doubt crazy people who use those formats use equally crazy filenames, so a test on content is good, but you kind of want them after the filename tests, so .html means html. Or for example if there was a specific scrollkeeper .omf mode then hit that before the generic xml. Maybe if magic-mode-alist were combined into auto-mode-alist it'd be easier to control conflicts or precedence among content vs filename tests. (Not that you want to get too fancy about such things ...) _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
