I have been using nxml-mode to edit XHTML. However, it does not work very well for HTML4 documents whose tags don't have to close. Has anybody found a good Emacs mode for editing these files?

Hey guys I'm "re-skinning" a legacy .NET 1.1 site (i know, don't ask). Anyway, originally it was all horrible html4.0 markup, and the new design is xhtml. How do I change the way server controls render in .NET 1.1 amd Visual Studio 2003? For example, the asp:ImageButton control is rendering without the self closing tag, how do I chan...
I've found a similar question here, but I'm looking for more general solutions. As it is now, when Django generates anykind of HTML for you (this mainly happens when generating forms), it uses self-closing tags by default i.e. <br /> instead of <br>. <br /> is valid XHTML and I think HTML5 also, but it's not valid HTML4. Is there any c...
