Ya got me. That's what's used in paragraphs.el where "sentence-end" is
defined.

= I would do it with a simple bit of Elisp. You could put something
= like the following into your ~/.emacs:
=
=
= (defun my-html-forward-sentence ()
= (interactive)
= (save-match-data
= (if (re-search-forward "\\([.?!]\\)<" nil t)
= (goto-char (match-end 1))
= (goto-char (point-max)))))
This is pretty much what I wanted. Thanks.
=
= (define-key sgml-mode-map (kbd "M-e") 'my-html-forward-sentence)
This didn't go. An error told me that I don't have the path (to psgml).
I haven't been able to figure that one out yet.
Thanks again,
ken
