    The documentation sources are most conveniently modified with an editor
    that has a mode for editing XML, and even more so if it has some awareness
    of XML schema languages so that it can know about
    <span class="productname">DocBook</span> syntax specifically.
   </p><p>
    Note that for historical reasons the documentation source files are named
    with an extension <code class="filename">.sgml</code> even though they are now XML
    files.  So you might need to adjust your editor configuration to set the
    correct mode.

     <span class="productname">nXML Mode</span>, which ships with
     <span class="productname">Emacs</span>, is the most common mode for editing
     <acronym class="acronym">XML</acronym> documents with <span class="productname">Emacs</span>.
     It will allow you to use <span class="application">Emacs</span> to insert tags
     and check markup consistency, and it supports
     <span class="productname">DocBook</span> out of the box.  Check the <a class="ulink" href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/nxml-mode.html" target="_top">
     nXML manual</a> for detailed documentation.
    </p><p>
     <code class="filename">src/tools/editors/emacs.samples</code> contains
     recommended settings for this mode.
