1 Completion
************
Apart from real-time validation, the most important feature that
nxml-mode provides for assisting in document creation is "completion".
Completion assists the user in inserting characters at point, based on
knowledge of the schema and on the contents of the buffer before point.
The traditional GNU Emacs key combination for completion in a buffer
is `M-<TAB>'. However, many window systems and window managers use this
key combination themselves (typically for switching between windows)
and do not pass it to applications. It's hard to find key combinations
in GNU Emacs that are both easy to type and not taken by something
else. `C-<RET>' (i.e. pressing the Enter or Return key, while the
Ctrl key is held down) is available. It won't be available on a
traditional terminal (because it is indistinguishable from Return), but
it will work with a window system. Therefore we adopt the following
solution by default: use `C-<RET>' when there's a window system and
`M-<TAB>' when there's not. In the following, I will assume that a
window system is being used and will therefore refer to `C-<RET>'.
Completion works by examining the symbol preceding point. This is
the symbol to be completed. The symbol to be completed may be the
empty. Completion considers what symbols starting with the symbol to be
completed would be valid replacements for the symbol to be completed,
given the schema and the contents of the buffer before point. These
symbols are the possible completions. An example may make this
clearer. Suppose the buffer looks like this (where -!- indicates
point):
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<h-!-
and the schema is XHTML. In this context, the symbol to be completed
is `h'. The possible completions consist of just `head'. Another
example, is
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<-!-
In this case, the symbol to be completed is empty, and the possible
completions are `base', `isindex', `link', `meta', `script', `style',
`title'. Another example is:
<html xmlns="-!-
In this case, the symbol to be completed is empty, and the possible
completions are just `http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'.
When you type `C-<RET>', what happens depends on what the set of
possible completions are.
* If the set of completions is empty, nothing happens.
* If there is one possible completion, then that completion is
inserted, together with any following characters that are
required. For example, in this case:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<-!-
`C-<RET>' will yield
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head-!-
* If there is more than one possible completion, but all possible
completions share a common non-empty prefix, then that prefix is
inserted. For example, suppose the buffer is:
<html x-!-
The symbol to be completed is `x'. The possible completions are
`xmlns' and `xml:lang'. These share a common prefix of `xml'.
Thus, `C-<RET>' will yield:
<html xml-!-
Typically, you would do `C-<RET>' again, which would have the
result described in the next item.
* If there is more than one possible completion, but the possible
completions do not share a non-empty prefix, then Emacs will
prompt you to input the symbol in the minibuffer, initializing the
minibuffer with the symbol to be completed, and popping up a buffer
showing the possible completions. You can now input the symbol to
be inserted. The symbol you input will be inserted in the buffer
instead of the symbol to be completed. Emacs will then insert any
required characters after the symbol. For example, if it contains:
<html xml-!-
Emacs will prompt you in the minibuffer with
Attribute: xml-!-
and the buffer showing possible completions will contain
Possible completions are:
xml:lang xmlns
If you input `xmlns', the result will be:
<html xmlns="-!-
(If you do `C-<RET>' again, the namespace URI will be inserted.
Should that happen automatically?)

File: nxml-mode.info, Node: Inserting end-tags, Next: Paragraphs, Prev: Completion, Up: Top
2 Inserting end-tags
********************
The main redundancy in XML syntax is end-tags. nxml-mode provides
several ways to make it easier to enter end-tags. You can use all of
these without a schema.
You can use `C-<RET>' after `</' to complete the rest of the end-tag.
`C-c C-f' inserts an end-tag for the element containing point. This
command is useful when you want to input the start-tag, then input the
content and finally input the end-tag. The `f' is mnemonic for finish.
If you want to keep tags balanced and input the end-tag at the same
time as the start-tag, before inputting the content, then you can use
`C-c C-i'. This inserts a `>', then inserts the end-tag and leaves
point before the end-tag. `C-c C-b' is similar but more convenient for
block-level elements: it puts the start-tag, point and the end-tag on
successive lines, appropriately indented. The `i' is mnemonic for
inline and the `b' is mnemonic for block.
Finally, you can customize nxml-mode so that `/' automatically
inserts the rest of the end-tag when it occurs after `<', by doing
`M-x customize-variable <RET> nxml-slash-auto-complete-flag <RET>'
and then following the instructions in the displayed buffer.

3 Paragraphs
************
Emacs has several commands that operate on paragraphs, most notably
`M-q'. nXML mode redefines these to work in a way that is useful for
XML. The exact rules that are used to find the beginning and end of a
paragraph are complicated; they are designed mainly to ensure that
`M-q' does the right thing.
A paragraph consists of one or more complete, consecutive lines. A
group of lines is not considered a paragraph unless it contains some
non-whitespace characters between tags or inside comments. A blank
line separates paragraphs. A single tag on a line by itself also
separates paragraphs. More precisely, if one tag together with any
leading and trailing whitespace completely occupy one or more lines,
then those lines will not be included in any paragraph.
A start-tag at the beginning of the line (possibly indented) may be
treated as starting a paragraph. Similarly, an end-tag at the end of
the line may be treated as ending a paragraph. The following rules are
used to determine whether such a tag is in fact treated as a paragraph
boundary:
* If the schema does not allow text at that point, then it is a
paragraph boundary.
* If the end-tag corresponding to the start-tag is not at the end of
its line, or the start-tag corresponding to the end-tag is not at
the beginning of its line, then it is not a paragraph boundary.
For example, in
<p>This is a paragraph with an
<emph>emphasized</emph> phrase.
the `<emph>' start-tag would not be considered as starting a
paragraph, because its corresponding end-tag is not at the end of
the line.
* If there is text that is a sibling in element tree, then it is not
a paragraph boundary. For example, in
<p>This is a paragraph with an
<emph>emphasized phrase that takes one source line</emph>
the `<emph>' start-tag would not be considered as starting a
paragraph, even though its end-tag is at the end of its line,
because there the text `This is a paragraph with an' is a sibling
of the `emph' element.
* Otherwise, it is a paragraph boundary.

4 Outlining
***********
nXML mode allows you to display all or part of a buffer as an outline,
in a similar way to Emacs' outline mode. An outline in nXML mode is
based on recognizing two kinds of element: sections and headings.
There is one heading for every section and one section for every
heading. A section contains its heading as or within its first child
element. A section also contains its subordinate sections (its
subsections). The text content of a section consists of anything in a
section that is neither a subsection nor a heading.
Note that this is a different model from that used by XHTML. nXML
mode's outline support will not be useful for XHTML unless you adopt a
convention of adding a `div' to enclose each section, rather than
having sections implicitly delimited by different `hN' elements. This
limitation may be removed in a future version.
The variable `nxml-section-element-name-regexp' gives a regexp for
the local names (i.e. the part of the name following any prefix) of
section elements. The variable `nxml-heading-element-name-regexp' gives
a regexp for the local names of heading elements. For an element to be
recognized as a section
* its start-tag must occur at the beginning of a line (possibly
indented);
* its local name must match `nxml-section-element-name-regexp';
* either its first child element or a descendant of that first child
element must have a local name that matches
`nxml-heading-element-name-regexp'; the first such element is
treated as the section's heading.
You can customize these variables using `M-x customize-variable'.
There are three possible outline states for a section:
* normal, showing everything, including its heading, text content
and subsections; each subsection is displayed according to the
state of that subsection;
* showing just its heading, with both its text content and its
subsections hidden; all subsections are hidden regardless of their
state;
* showing its heading and its subsections, with its text content
hidden; each subsection is displayed according to the state of
that subsection.
In the last two states, where the text content is hidden, the
heading is displayed specially, in an abbreviated form. An element like
this:
<section>
<title>Food</title>
<para>There are many kinds of food.</para>
</section>
would be displayed on a single line like this:
<-section>Food...</>
If there are hidden subsections, then a `+' will be used instead of a
`-' like this:
<+section>Food...</>
If there are non-hidden subsections, then the section will instead be
displayed like this:
<-section>Food...
<-section>Delicious Food...</>
<-section>Distasteful Food...</>
</-section>
The heading is always displayed with an indent that corresponds to its
depth in the outline, even it is not actually indented in the buffer.
The variable `nxml-outline-child-indent' controls how much a subheading
is indented with respect to its parent heading when the heading is
being displayed specially.
Commands to change the outline state of sections are bound to key
sequences that start with `C-c C-o' (`o' is mnemonic for outline). The
third and final key has been chosen to be consistent with outline mode.
In the following descriptions current section means the section
containing point, or, more precisely, the innermost section containing
the character immediately following point.
* `C-c C-o C-a' shows all sections in the buffer normally.
* `C-c C-o C-t' hides the text content of all sections in the buffer.
* `C-c C-o C-c' hides the text content of the current section.
* `C-c C-o C-e' shows the text content of the current section.
* `C-c C-o C-d' hides the text content and subsections of the
current section.
* `C-c C-o C-s' shows the current section and all its direct and
indirect subsections normally.
* `C-c C-o C-k' shows the headings of the direct and indirect
subsections of the current section.
* `C-c C-o C-l' hides the text content of the current section and of
its direct and indirect subsections.
* `C-c C-o C-i' shows the headings of the direct subsections of the
current section.
* `C-c C-o C-o' hides as much as possible without hiding the current
section's text content; the headings of ancestor sections of the
current section and their child section sections will not be
hidden.
When a heading is displayed specially, you can use <RET> in that
heading to show the text content of the section in the same way as `C-c
C-o C-e'.
You can also use the mouse to change the outline state: `S-mouse-2'
hides the text content of a section in the same way as`C-c C-o C-c';
`mouse-2' on a specially displayed heading shows the text content of
the section in the same way as `C-c C-o C-e'; `mouse-1' on a specially
displayed start-tag toggles the display of subheadings on and off.
The outline state for each section is stored with the first
character of the section (as a text property). Every command that
changes the outline state of any section updates the display of the
buffer so that each section is displayed correctly according to its
outline state. If the section structure is subsequently changed, then
it is possible for the display to no longer correctly reflect the
stored outline state. `C-c C-o C-r' can be used to refresh the display
so it is correct again.

5 Locating a schema
*******************
nXML mode has a configurable set of rules to locate a schema for the
file being edited. The rules are contained in one or more schema
locating files, which are XML documents.
The variable `rng-schema-locating-files' specifies the list of the
file-names of schema locating files that nXML mode should use. The
order of the list is significant: when file X occurs in the list before
file Y then rules from file X have precedence over rules from file Y.
A filename specified in `rng-schema-locating-files' may be relative. If
so, it will be resolved relative to the document for which a schema is
being located. It is not an error if relative file-names in
`rng-schema-locating-files' do not not exist. You can use `M-x
customize-variable <RET> rng-schema-locating-files <RET>' to customize
the list of schema locating files.
By default, `rng-schema-locating-files' list has two members:
`schemas.xml', and `DIST-DIR/schema/schemas.xml' where `DIST-DIR' is
the directory containing the nXML distribution. The first member will
cause nXML mode to use a file `schemas.xml' in the same directory as
the document being edited if such a file exist. The second member
contains rules for the schemas that are included with the nXML
distribution.

File: nxml-mode.info, Node: Commands for locating a schema, Next: Schema locating files, Up: Locating a schema
5.1 Commands for locating a schema
==================================
The command `C-c C-s C-w' will tell you what schema is currently being
used.
The rules for locating a schema are applied automatically when you
visit a file in nXML mode. However, if you have just created a new file
and the schema cannot be inferred from the file-name, then this will
not locate the right schema. In this case, you should insert the
start-tag of the root element and then use the command `C-c C-a', which
reapplies the rules based on the current content of the document. It
is usually not necessary to insert the complete start-tag; often just
`<NAME' is enough.
If you want to use a schema that has not yet been added to the
schema locating files, you can use the command `C-c C-s C-f' to
manually select the file contaiing the schema for the document in
current buffer. Emacs will read the file-name of the schema from the
minibuffer. After reading the file-name, Emacs will ask whether you
wish to add a rule to a schema locating file that persistently
associates the document with the selected schema. The rule will be
added to the first file in the list specified
`rng-schema-locating-files'; it will create the file if necessary, but
will not create a directory. If the variable
`rng-schema-locating-files' has not been customized, this means that
the rule will be added to the file `schemas.xml' in the same directory
as the document being edited.
The command `C-c C-s C-t' allows you to select a schema by
specifying an identifier for the type of the document. The schema
locating files determine the available type identifiers and what schema
is used for each type identifier. This is useful when it is impossible
to infer the right schema from either the file-name or the content of
the document, even though the schema is already in the schema locating
file. A situation in which this can occur is when there are multiple
variants of a schema where all valid documents have the same document
element. For example, XHTML has Strict and Transitional variants. In
a situation like this, a schema locating file can define a type
identifier for each variant. As with `C-c C-s C-f', Emacs will ask
whether you wish to add a rule to a schema locating file that
persistently associates the document with the specified type identifier.
The command `C-c C-s C-l' adds a rule to a schema locating file that
persistently associates the document with the schema that is currently
being used.

5.2 Schema locating files
=========================
Each schema locating file specifies a list of rules. The rules from
each file are appended in order. To locate a schema each rule is
applied in turn until a rule matches. The first matching rule is then
used to determine the schema.
Schema locating files are designed to be useful for other
applications that need to locate a schema for a document. In fact,
there is nothing specific to locating schemas in the design; it could
equally well be used for locating a stylesheet.

File: nxml-mode.info, Node: Schema locating file syntax basics, Next: Using the document's URI to locate a schema, Up: Schema locating files
5.2.1 Schema locating file syntax basics
----------------------------------------
There is a schema for schema locating files in the file `locate.rnc' in
the schema directory. Schema locating files must be valid with respect
to this schema.
The document element of a schema locating file must be
`locatingRules' and the namespace URI must be
`http://thaiopensource.com/ns/locating-rules/1.0'. The children of the
document element specify rules. The order of the children is the same
as the order of the rules. Here's a complete example of a schema
locating file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<locatingRules xmlns="http://thaiopensource.com/ns/locating-rules/1.0">
<namespace ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" uri="xhtml.rnc"/>
<documentElement localName="book" uri="docbook.rnc"/>
</locatingRules>
This says to use the schema `xhtml.rnc' for a document with namespace
`http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml', and to use the schema `docbook.rnc' for
a document whose local name is `book'. If the document element had
both a namespace URI of `http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' and a local name
of `book', then the matching rule that comes first will be used and so
the schema `xhtml.rnc' would be used. There is no precedence between
different types of rule; the first matching rule of any type is used.
As usual with XML-related technologies, resources are identified by
URIs. The `uri' attribute identifies the schema by specifying the URI.
The URI may be relative. If so, it is resolved relative to the URI of
the schema locating file that contains attribute. This means that if
the value of `uri' attribute does not contain a `/', then it will refer
to a filename in the same directory as the schema locating file.

File: nxml-mode.info, Node: Using the document's URI to locate a schema, Next: Using the document element to locate a schema, Prev: Schema locating file syntax basics, Up: Schema locating files
5.2.2 Using the document's URI to locate a schema
-------------------------------------------------
A `uri' rule locates a schema based on the URI of the document. The
`uri' attribute specifies the URI of the schema. The `resource'
attribute can be used to specify the schema for a particular document.
For example,
<uri resource="spec.xml" uri="docbook.rnc"/>
specifies that that the schema for `spec.xml' is `docbook.rnc'.
The `pattern' attribute can be used instead of the `resource'
attribute to specify the schema for any document whose URI matches a
pattern. The pattern has the same syntax as an absolute or relative
URI except that the path component of the URI can use a `*' character
to stand for zero or more characters within a path segment (i.e. any
character other `/'). Typically, the URI pattern looks like a relative
URI, but, whereas a relative URI in the `resource' attribute is
resolved into a particular absolute URI using the base URI of the
schema locating file, a relative URI pattern matches if it matches some
number of complete path segments of the document's URI ending with the
last path segment of the document's URI. For example,
<uri pattern="*.xsl" uri="xslt.rnc"/>
specifies that the schema for documents with a URI whose path ends with
`.xsl' is `xslt.rnc'.
A `transformURI' rule locates a schema by transforming the URI of
the document. The `fromPattern' attribute specifies a URI pattern with
the same meaning as the `pattern' attribute of the `uri' element. The
`toPattern' attribute is a URI pattern that is used to generate the URI
of the schema. Each `*' in the `toPattern' is replaced by the string
that matched the corresponding `*' in the `fromPattern'. The resulting
string is appended to the initial part of the document's URI that was
not explicitly matched by the `fromPattern'. The rule matches only if
the transformed URI identifies an existing resource. For example, the
rule
<transformURI fromPattern="*.xml" toPattern="*.rnc"/>
would transform the URI `file:///home/jjc/docs/spec.xml' into the URI
`file:///home/jjc/docs/spec.rnc'. Thus, this rule specifies that to
locate a schema for a document `FOO.xml', Emacs should test whether a
file `FOO.rnc' exists in the same directory as `FOO.xml', and, if so,
should use it as the schema.

5.2.3 Using the document element to locate a schema
---------------------------------------------------
A `documentElement' rule locates a schema based on the local name and
prefix of the document element. For example, a rule
<documentElement prefix="xsl" localName="stylesheet" uri="xslt.rnc"/>
specifies that when the name of the document element is
`xsl:stylesheet', then `xslt.rnc' should be used as the schema. Either
the `prefix' or `localName' attribute may be omitted to allow any
prefix or local name.
A `namespace' rule locates a schema based on the namespace URI of
the document element. For example, a rule
<namespace ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" uri="xslt.rnc"/>
specifies that when the namespace URI of the document is
`http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform', then `xslt.rnc' should be used
as the schema.

File: nxml-mode.info, Node: Using type identifiers in schema locating files, Next: Using multiple schema locating files, Prev: Using the document element to locate a schema, Up: Schema locating files
5.2.4 Using type identifiers in schema locating files
-----------------------------------------------------
Type identifiers allow a level of indirection in locating the schema
for a document. Instead of associating the document directly with a
schema URI, the document is associated with a type identifier, which is
in turn associated with a schema URI. nXML mode does not constrain the
format of type identifiers. They can be simply strings without any
formal structure or they can be public identifiers or URIs. Note that
these type identifiers have nothing to do with the DOCTYPE declaration.
When comparing type identifiers, whitespace is normalized in the same
way as with the `xsd:token' datatype: leading and trailing whitespace
is stripped; other sequences of whitespace are normalized to a single
space character.
Each of the rules described in previous sections that uses a `uri'
attribute to specify a schema, can instead use a `typeId' attribute to
specify a type identifier. The type identifier can be associated with
a URI using a `typeId' element. For example,
<locatingRules xmlns="http://thaiopensource.com/ns/locating-rules/1.0">
<namespace ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" typeId="XHTML"/>
<typeId id="XHTML" typeId="XHTML Strict"/>
<typeId id="XHTML Strict" uri="xhtml-strict.rnc"/>
<typeId id="XHTML Transitional" uri="xhtml-transitional.rnc"/>
</locatingRules>
declares three type identifiers `XHTML' (representing the default
variant of XHTML to be used), `XHTML Strict' and `XHTML Transitional'.
Such a schema locating file would use `xhtml-strict.rnc' for a document
whose namespace is `http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'. But it is
considerably more flexible than a schema locating file that simply
specified
<namespace ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" uri="xhtml-strict.rnc"/>
A user can easily use `C-c C-s C-t' to select between XHTML Strict and
XHTML Transitional. Also, a user can easily add a catalog
<locatingRules xmlns="http://thaiopensource.com/ns/locating-rules/1.0">
<typeId id="XHTML" typeId="XHTML Transitional"/>
</locatingRules>
that makes the default variant of XHTML be XHTML Transitional.

File: nxml-mode.info, Node: Using multiple schema locating files, Prev: Using type identifiers in schema locating files, Up: Schema locating files
5.2.5 Using multiple schema locating files
------------------------------------------
The `include' element includes rules from another schema locating file.
The behavior is exactly as if the rules from that file were included
in place of the `include' element. Relative URIs are resolved into
absolute URIs before the inclusion is performed. For example,
<include rules="../rules.xml"/>
includes the rules from `rules.xml'.
The process of locating a schema takes as input a list of schema
locating files. The rules in all these files and in the files they
include are resolved into a single list of rules, which are applied
strictly in order. Sometimes this order is not what is needed. For
example, suppose you have two schema locating files, a private file
<locatingRules xmlns="http://thaiopensource.com/ns/locating-rules/1.0">
<namespace ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" uri="xhtml.rnc"/>
</locatingRules>
followed by a public file
<locatingRules xmlns="http://thaiopensource.com/ns/locating-rules/1.0">
<transformURI pathSuffix=".xml" replacePathSuffix=".rnc"/>
<namespace ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" typeId="XSLT"/>
</locatingRules>
The effect of these two files is that the XHTML `namespace' rule takes
precedence over the `transformURI' rule, which is almost certainly not
what is needed. This can be solved by adding an `applyFollowingRules'
to the private file.
<locatingRules xmlns="http://thaiopensource.com/ns/locating-rules/1.0">
<applyFollowingRules ruleType="transformURI"/>
<namespace ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" uri="xhtml.rnc"/>
</locatingRules>

6 DTDs
******
nxml-mode is designed to support the creation of standalone XML
documents that do not depend on a DTD. Although it is common practice
to insert a DOCTYPE declaration referencing an external DTD, this has
undesirable side-effects. It means that the document is no longer
self-contained. It also means that different XML parsers may interpret
the document in different ways, since the XML Recommendation does not
require XML parsers to read the DTD. With DTDs, it was impractical to
get validation without using an external DTD or reference to an
parameter entity. With RELAX NG and other schema languages, you can
simulataneously get the benefits of validation and standalone XML
documents. Therefore, I recommend that you do not reference an
external DOCTYPE in your XML documents.
One problem is entities for characters. Typically, as well as
providing validation, DTDs also provide a set of character entities for
documents to use. Schemas cannot provide this functionality, because
schema validation happens after XML parsing. The recommended solution
is to either use the Unicode characters directly, or, if this is
impractical, use character references. nXML mode supports this by
providing commands for entering characters and character references
using the Unicode names, and can display the glyph corresponding to a
character reference.

File: nxml-mode.info, Node: Limitations, Prev: DTDs, Up: Top
7 Limitations
*************
nXML mode has some limitations:
* DTD support is limited. Internal parsed general entities declared
in the internal subset are supported provided they do not contain
elements. Other usage of DTDs is ignored.
* The restrictions on RELAX NG schemas in section 7 of the RELAX NG
specification are not enforced.
* Unicode support has problems. This stems mostly from the fact that
the XML (and RELAX NG) character model is based squarely on
