Sorry, I do not run Xemacs (nor do I want to). I run emacs only in text mode.
Furthermore, I do *NOT* want Emacs to render HTML, I merely want to use Emacs
to edit it without the editor making stupid decisions for me, like indenting
text 30 characters to the right when it auto-wraps. This worked fine on my
Emacs 19 and 20 on my SuSE install. It does *not* work on my Debian install.
Plus, what the fsck is "External entity html not found"?
Maybe the issue is the Emacs PSGML module. I'll try uninstalling it.
Ciao,
Arne
