This list is used when first loading the sgml-mode library.
The supported characters and potential disadvantages are:

  ?\\\"	Makes \" in text start a string.
  ?'	Makes ' in text start a string.
  ?-	Makes -- in text start a comment.

When only one of ?\\\" or ?' are included, \"'\" or '\"', as can be found in
DTDs, start a string.  To partially avoid this problem this also makes these
self insert as named entities depending on `sgml-quick-keys'.

Including ?- has the problem of affecting dashes that have nothing to do
with comments, so we normally turn it off.")

(define-derived-mode html-mode sgml-mode "HTML"
  "Major mode based on SGML mode for editing HTML documents.
This allows inserting skeleton constructs used in hypertext documents with
completion.  See below for an introduction to HTML.  Use
\\[browse-url-of-buffer] to see how this comes out.  See also `sgml-mode' on
which this is based.

Do \\[describe-variable] html- SPC and \\[describe-variable] sgml- SPC to see available variables.

To write fairly well formatted pages you only need to know few things.  Most
browsers have a function to read the source code of the page being seen, so
you can imitate various tricks.  Here's a very short HTML primer which you
can also view with a browser to see what happens:

<title>A Title Describing Contents</title> should be on every page.  Pages can
have <h1>Very Major Headlines</h1> through <h6>Very Minor Headlines</h6>
<hr> Parts can be separated with horizontal rules.

<p>Paragraphs only need an opening tag.  Line breaks and multiple spaces are
ignored unless the text is <pre>preformatted.</pre>  Text can be marked as
<b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i> or <u>underlined</u> using the normal  M-g  or
Edit/Text Properties/Face commands.

Pages can have <a name=\"SOMENAME\">named points</a> and can link other points
to them with <a href=\"#SOMENAME\">see also somename</a>.  In the same way <a
href=\"URL\">see also URL</a> where URL is a filename relative to current
directory, or absolute as in `http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/w3/docs.html'.

Images in many formats can be inlined with <img src=\"URL\">.

If you mainly create your own documents, `sgml-specials' might be
interesting.  But note that some HTML 2 browsers can't handle `&apos;'.
To work around that, do:
   (eval-after-load \"sgml-mode\" '(aset sgml-char-names ?' nil))
