;;; Commentary:

;; Multiple-mode editing of PHP embedded in HTML.  Subject to the
;; limitations of multi-mode.el.  Note that there's no attempt to deal
;; with commented processing instructions markup.  Note also that this
;; only works properly with the basic HTML mode -- not PSGML or NXML.
;; Tested with the PHP mode from the hacked CC mode at the above URL.

;;; Code:

(require 'multi-mode)

(defun html-brew-mode ()
  "Mode for editing R embedded in HTML as brew, using multi-mode."
