How to disable Emacs-Flymake for html mode

Question

Here is my flymake setup in .emacs file:

 (when (load \"flymake\" t) 
         (defun flymake-pyflakes-init () 
           (let* ((temp-file (flymake-init-create         


        

Answer 1

Customize the variable named flymake-allowed-file-name-masks.

You can do it like this too:

M-x customize-variable RET

flymake-allowed-file-name-masks RET

Answer 2

In the error message you receive it's telling that it can't find the command-line XML validation tool xml. You can fix it by installing a compatible XML validation tool (xmllint is the right choice I guess).

But if you really just want to disable Flymake for HTML and XML files you don't have to copy whole the flymake.el file and change it. Simply add this line your init file:

(defun flymake-xml-init ())

This overrides the function that Flymake calls for HTML and XML files with an empty function.

Answer 3

Remove the HTML entry from the list:

(delete '("\\.html?\\'" flymake-xml-init) flymake-allowed-file-name-masks)

Answer 4

OK I got it. here is what I did: first of all I found flymake.el file.(If you dont have it you probably have flymake.elc file under emacs installation.In that case just copy flymake.el file under your load path so it will be used instead of compiled version(.elc file) under insallation). than I found following function and commented .xml and .html bindings.

(defcustom flymake-allowed-file-name-masks
  '(("\\.\\(?:c\\(?:pp\\|xx\\|\\+\\+\\)?\\|CC\\)\\'" flymake-simple-make-init)
    ;("\\.xml\\'" flymake-xml-init)
    ;("\\.html?\\'" flymake-xml-init)
    ("\\.cs\\'" flymake-simple-make-init)
    ("\\.p[ml]\\'" flymake-perl-init)
    ("\\.php[345]?\\'" flymake-php-init)
    ("\\.h\\'" flymake-master-make-header-init flymake-master-cleanup)
    ("\\.java\\'" flymake-simple-make-java-init flymake-simple-java-cleanup)
    ("[0-9]+\\.tex\\'" flymake-master-tex-init flymake-master-cleanup)
    ("\\.tex\\'" flymake-simple-tex-init)
    ("\\.idl\\'" flymake-simple-make-init)
    ;; ("\\.cpp\\'" 1)
    ;; ("\\.java\\'" 3)
    ;; ("\\.h\\'" 2 ("\\.cpp\\'" "\\.c\\'")
    ;; ("[ \t]*#[ \t]*include[ \t]*\"\\([\w0-9/\\_\.]*[/\\]*\\)\\(%s\\)\"" 1 2))
    ;; ("\\.idl\\'" 1)
    ;; ("\\.odl\\'" 1)
    ;; ("[0-9]+\\.tex\\'" 2 ("\\.tex\\'")
    ;; ("[ \t]*\\input[ \t]*{\\(.*\\)\\(%s\\)}" 1 2 ))
    ;; ("\\.tex\\'" 1)
    )

Other comment outed lines was already there. Now flymake does not work for html and xml files
