Changing and deleting markup
============================

`C-c ='
     Change the name of the current element
     (`sgml-change-element-name').  Tries to translate attribute
     specifications.  An attribute will be translated to an attribute
     with the same name.  If the new element has no attribute with the
     same name, the attribute will be ignored.  If there is an
     attribute with the same name but different declared content, a
     warning is given.

     ID attributes are handled specially, an attribute with declared
     value ID will always be translated to the attribute with declared
     value ID.

`C-c C-k'
     Kill next tag, markup declaration or process instruction
     (`sgml-kill-markup').

`C-M-k'
     Kill the element following the cursor (`sgml-kill-element').

`C-c -'
     Remove tags from current element (`sgml-untag-element').

`C-c #'
     Convert character after point to a character reference
     (`sgml-make-character-reference').  If called with a numeric
     argument, convert a character reference back to a normal character.

`C-c C-q'
     Fills an element as a paragraph (`sgml-fill-element').  This is a
     substitute for the normal `fill-paragraph'.  The command uses
     heuristics to decide what should be a paragraph.

       1. If point is in an element content, recursively fill the
          sub-elements.

       2. Find the biggest element with mixed content containing point.

       3. If the above element is mixed but contains elements with pure
          element content then fill what is between the pure elements
          as paragraphs and fill the pure elements recursively.

`M-x sgml-expand-all-shortrefs'
     Short references to text entities are expanded to the replacement
     text of the entity other short references are expanded into
     general entity references.  If argument, TO-ENTITY, is non-`nil',
     or if called interactive with numeric prefix argument, all short
     references are replaced by generally entity references.

`M-x sgml-normalize'
     Normalize the document in the buffer.  This will

       1. expand short references,

       2. insert missing tags,

       3. replace minimized tags with full tags,

       4. fix attribute specification lists according to options set.

     There is one argument, TO-ENTITY, with the same meaning as for
     `sgml-expand-all-shortrefs'.

     There is one option for the normalize command.  With its default
     value, normalize may actually change the data content of some
     elements.  But only by removing some white-space from the end of
     elements with omitted end-tags.

 - User Option: sgml-normalize-trims
     If non-nil, `sgml-normalize' will trim off white space from end of
     element when adding end-tag.

     Default: `t'.
