XML src block syntax highlighting

XML src block syntax highlighting

Hi,

I'm in the process of writing documentation for a simple HTTP based API that returns responses as XML.

The included response examples are blocks of the form:

#+BEGIN_SRC xml :exports code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<validxml>
  ...
</validxml>
#+END_SRC

I have org-src-fontify-natively = and it works for other code, but xml is fontified as a fundamental buffer, not like nxml-mode shows the block contents. nxml-mode /is/ used when I use C-c ' to edit the contents.

Do I miss something in my setup to let org-mode use nxml-mode for xml src-blocks?

kind regards,
Tom

Can you try the following:

  #+BEGIN_SRC nxml :exports code
    ..
  #+END_SRC

As far as I know, the language is supposed to be the leading part of
<some>-mode.  My information is a bit outdated, so I could be wrong.

Hope this helps,

I should have written that in my OP: I tried that to no avail.

I also tried

(add-to-list 'org-src-lang-modes '("xml" . nxml))

Without success.

Sorry, I cannot reproduce this.  I tried (setq org-src-fontify-natively
t) and both of the following work for me.

  #+BEGIN_SRC xml :exports code
    ..
  #+END_SRC

  #+BEGIN_SRC nxml :exports code
    ..
  #+END_SRC

Maybe it is your configuration?  Did you try a binary search on it?
Comment out half of it at a time and you should be able to find the
problem lines in no time!

GL,
