<p> I suspect I heard about the <a href="https://github.com/rooney/zencoding">Emacs zencoding mode</a> from its (I believe) original author, Chris Done—he did <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf79WkXHnEM">a screencast about using Emacs for Haskell development</a> that I found interesting, and I imagine that I found a reference while looking at his material about that.</p> <p> Anyway, I created a Debian package for it, and installed it…and didn&#39;t use it for squat. Although the idea makes great sense—use a CSS-selector like language to create HTML (an idea I was first exposed to with Kris Zyp&#39;s <a href="https://github.com/kriszyp/put-selector">put-selector</a> JavaScript library)—I never even bothered to learn the keystroke to activate it.</p>
