| | 1 | [http://cavedoni.com/ I]’ve started hacking on an editing mode for Django templates in Emacs. (Please note that this is the first time I ever do Emacs Lisp, and that what I currently have is nothing more than a start. If you can come up with fixes or improvements, these are much appreciated). |

| | 3 | The most obvious benefit that it provides at the moment is syntax highlighting of variables and blocks. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | It knows about the Django default tag names and uses a different coloring for comments. At the moment it is configured to automatically kick-in for files with extension `.djhtml` (I made it up that way, in order not to clash with other defaults one may have with .html files). Of course you can invoke it with `M-x django-mode` in any buffer. |

| | 7 | You can get it here: http://unicoders.org/code/hacks/trunk/django-mode.el |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | Put it somewhere where Emacs can find it then add this line to your `.emacs` file: |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | {{{ |
| | 12 | (load "django-mode.el") |
| | 13 | }}} |
