The problem is indeed with psgml-mode. HTML is a language that is defined
in SGML. psgml-mode is a generic SGML editing mode, and it is looking for the
definition of HTML, specifically it's DTD (document type definition). I
believe the DTD is only required for validation of the document, and if you
don't wish to confirm that your HTML is valid, you can safely skip it.
Personally, I'm not currently happy with psgml-mode. I'm finding it buggy,
and I've since uninstalled it. I'll try it later after a few more revisions.
Basic html-mode provides syntax shading, but I'm told that html-helper-mode is
a little better, in that it provides macros that aid in creating HTML
documents.
Hope this helps.
Mike
