Re: [docbook] Configure Emacs to autocomplete the tags

[Dave Pawson <davep@dpawson.co.uk>]

You'll need to tell emacs (nxml-mode)
1. Where your schema-locating file is

 (setq rng-schema-locating-files '("/sgml/schemas.xml"))

2. In that file, where to find the docbook *(rnc) schema

<typeId id="DocBook"
         uri="docbook/v5/rng/docbookxi.rnc"/>
  <documentElement localName="book"
uri="/sgml/docbook/v5/rng/docbookxi.rnc"/>

etc

3. What associations to make (e.g. the root elements you'll be using)

(setq auto-mode-alist
      (append
       (list

'("\\.xml\\'" . nxml-mode)

etc



(defun bind-nxml-mode-keys ()
  (define-key nxml-mode-map (kbd "<C-return>") 'completion-at-point)
  ;; add further customizations here
)
