This looks like the standard template from html-helper mode. The template is defined in html-helper-mode.el in a variable called html-helper-new-buffer-template which (at least in the version I use) is defined as
(defvar html-helper-new-buffer-template '(html-helper-htmldtd-version "<html> <head>\n" "<title>" p "</title>\n</head>\n\n" "<body>\n" "<h1>" p "</h1>\n\n" p "\n\n<hr>\n" "<address>" html-helper-address-string "</address>\n" html-helper-timestamp-start html-helper-timestamp-end "\n</body> </html>\n") "*Template for new buffers. Inserted by `html-helper-insert-new-buffer-strings' if `html-helper-build-new-buffer' is set to t") You can override this in your .emacs.el to set up the template in whatever way you want. You can also turn off the skeleton completely with (setq html-helper-build-new-buffer f) I hesitate to point you to non-free documentation in this forum, but there's a good description of html-helper mode in the O'Reilly _Learning GNU Emacs_ book by Cameron, Rosenblatt, and Raymond -- a substantially better description than I have found elsewhere. And then there's the source code, which you have courtesy of the GPL! :-) Dan Morten Liebach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hi all. > > When I use XEmacs to start a HTML file, it automagically sets up a > template like this: > > <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"> > <html> > <head> > <title>index</title> > </head> > > <body> > <h1>index</h1> > > > > <hr> > <address><a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Morten > Liebach</a></address> > <!-- Created: Tue Sep 5 22:04:40 CEST 2000 --> > <!-- hhmts start --> > <!-- hhmts end --> > </body> > </html> > > > That's very nice, but I'd like to modify the template a little, where? > > Regards > Morten
