I would like to help with the maintenance and enhancement of nXML mode.
Here are some things which may be considered:
1. Make indentation in nXML mode compatible with that in the official
SGML mode, and in the unofficial PSGML mode; the latter indentation
styles are arguably more natural, and followed by projects like the
FreeBSD Documentation Project. I had stumbled across this problem
recently, as in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2018-05/msg00009.html
2. Addition of features in PSGML mode, e.g,
a) Information about the schema: analogues of
`sgml-describe-element-type', `sgml-list-elements', etc.
b) Support for processing instructions such as, e.g.,
<?PSGML ELEMENT foo nofill=t>
which specify that a `foo' element should not be disturbed when
filling a region; this is useful if one wants to fill a buffer
containing verbatim elements such as program listings.
c) Provision of more editing commands analogous to `sgml-tag-region',
`sgml-auto-insert-required-elements', etc.
3. Support for XInclude.
4. Provision of a facility similar to RefTeX for manipulating
cross-references in a modular document.
5. Analogues of `LaTeX-fill-region' and friends from AUCTeX.
6. More documentation.
I would like advice on how to proceed.
Thanks,
Raghu.
