"php-mode is responsible for syntax highlighting, indentation, and other major PHP-specific modifications to your editing environment. There are a number of PHP modes available for Emacs. In this project, you’ll learn how to set up the php-mode available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/php-mode/ .

"...Steve Yegge’s Javascript editing mode for Emacs, js2-mode, really takes this kind of 'ambient usefulness' to the next level. That’s because it doesn’t just use colors and styles to indicate syntax, but to indicate semantics as well..." -- http://code.google.com/p/js2-mode/

"Today, though, I'd like to talk about and propose a different approach to User Interface Prototyping: Emacs Artist Mode. Artist mode is a minor Emacs mode that turns an emacs buffer into a canvas you can draw all sorts of geometrical shapes on [...] Let me know how you are using artist mode in your projects..."

"While surfing the other night, I ran across a nice Emacs Lisp function for using Google to do context-sensitive help from inside Emacs.I liked how simple it was, and had always been curious about writing some Emacs lisp code (my .emacs file is a random collection of snippets I egregiously pilfered from various locations), so I thought I would enhance the solution by making it aware of what major-

"emacs is my favorite text editor. (No flame please.)

Little known and used perhaps is the fact that emacs does run in batch mode. By batch, I mean emacs accepts and executes commands in the command line, without any user interaction..."

"...Emacs is a text editor. And it’s a lot more — sometimes too much. I know of a number of Emacs users who practically live in the editor. As I pointed out in a previous post, some users go a little overboard with the way in which they use Emacs — as a personal information manager, as a mail client, and even as a Web browser.

"I code in Emacs. Emacs has good support for version control tool interaction in the vc-mode package. I want to use git and have vc-mode work with git. I also want access to special git commands that the vc-mode does not export directly. The notes below are for Ubuntu Hardy, which is what I use all the time..."

"I keep a Emacs mode for editing Django templates (specifically HTML Django templates) on Launchpad. There are more people interested in enhancing the support for Django on Emacs, and I'd like to help. But first, I want to discuss what is needed from a editing mode..."

"I've written a new JavaScript editing mode for GNU Emacs, and released it on code.google.com. This is part of a larger project, in progress, to permit writing Emacs extensions in JavaScript instead of Emacs-Lisp. Lest ye judge: hey, some people swing that way. The larger project is well underway, but probably won't be out until late summer or early fall.
