This summarizes the still-relevant information from the standalone
nxml README fle, mistakenly removed in the initial import of nxml-mode.

@chapter Introduction
nXML mode is an Emacs major-mode for editing XML documents. It supports
editing well-formed XML documents, and provides schema-sensitive editing
using RELAX NG Compact Syntax. To get started, visit a file containing an
XML document, and, if necessary, use @kbd{M-x nxml-mode} to switch to nXML
mode. By default, @code{auto-mode-alist} and @code{magic-fallback-alist}
put buffers in nXML mode if they have recognizable XML content or file
extensions. You may wish to customize the settings, for example to
recognize different file extensions.
Once in nXML mode, you can type @kbd{C-h m} for basic information on the
mode.
The @file{etc/nxml} directory in the Emacs distribution contains some data
files used by nXML mode, and includes two files (@file{test.valid.xml} and
@file{test.invalid.xml}) that provide examples of valid and invalid XML
documents.
To get validation and schema-sensitive editing, you need a RELAX NG Compact
Syntax (RNC) schema for your document (@pxref{Locating a schema}). The
@file{etc/schema} directory includes some schemas for popular document
types. See @url{http://relaxng.org/} for more information on RELAX NG.
You can use the @samp{Trang} program from
@url{http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/trang.html} to
automatically create RNC schemas. This program can:
@itemize @bullet
@item
infer an RNC schema from an instance document;
@item
convert a DTD to an RNC schema;
@item
convert a RELAX NG XML syntax schema to an RNC schema.
@end itemize
@noindent To convert a RELAX NG XML syntax (@samp{.rng}) schema to a RNC
one, you can also use the XSLT stylesheet from
@url{http://www.pantor.com/download.html}.
To convert a W3C XML Schema to an RNC schema, you need first to convert it
to RELAX NG XML syntax using Sun's RELAX NG converter tool @code{rngconv}
(built on top of MSV). See @url{https://github.com/kohsuke/msv}
and @url{https://msv.dev.java.net/}.

@url{http://groups.yahoo.com/group/emacs-nxml-mode/}. Please make all new
discussions on the @samp{help-gnu-emacs} and @samp{emacs-devel} mailing
lists. Report any bugs with @kbd{M-x report-emacs-bug}.
