I daily dream that, in my code, some reference to a problem report, appears whit a different color. I click on it, and xemacs open me a new frame containing the problem report. It's only a dream, but reality is not so far. hTML is a simple and widely used technology, so for others tools involved in the developpment process, there is no real problem. No doubt that Robert's initiative regarding Ada code will be successfull, but an immediate first step could be to process html markers in Ada comment. I think this will cause compiler no special problem. What we only need is an elisp gourou to merge Ada and html mode :-) ________________________________________________________________________ Lionel Draghi 01 45 28 88 50 17, rue Simon Dereure 93 110 Rosny-sous-Bois
