<h2 class="appendix">Appendix A Embedded HTML</h2>
<!-- Someday, there will be a decisive way to work on PHP and -->
<!-- HTML markup together. For now, it's not decided. This -->
<!-- section offers some workarounds and offers some -->
<!-- suggestions. -->
<p><a name="index-markup-formats-289"></a><a name="index-XML-290"></a><a name="index-SGML-291"></a><a name="index-embedded-code-292"></a><a name="index-indentation_002c-markup-293"></a><a name="index-HTML-294"></a>The PHP programming language is commonly embedded with HTML
but also with other markup formats. Unfortunately, PHP mode
is currently unable to recognize these other bits and
provide commands that behave appropriately. Other Emacs
modes for properly indenting HTML include HTML mode, SGML
mode and XML mode.

file, consider turning on HTML mode with <kbd>M-x
html-mode</kbd>. Use the the mode-specific commands for
manipulating the HTML. When finished, turn back on PHP mode
with <kbd>M-x php-mode</kbd> to return working on the PHP
sections of the file.
<p><a name="index-multiple-major-mode-299"></a><a name="index-mumamo-300"></a><a name="index-mmm_002dmode-301"></a><a name="index-multi_002dmode-302"></a>Alternatively, consider using a <dfn>multiple major mode</dfn>
like mumamo, mmm-mode or multi-mode. These modes allow a
single buffer to appoint different major modes to respective
portions of the buffer.
