M-x htmlz mode not coming up in Doom Emacs

[norogoth]

When I ran "doom sync" the GH repo was recognized and installed successfully. However, upon doing M-x html nothing shows up.

(Note: I am a novice programmer and new to Doom Emacs)

Hi there:) thanks for trying this out. The command to start this is M-x htmlz-mode. What happens when you run that?

[norogoth]

I get the same result. There are no results that come up.

Interesting. Perhaps this is something about doom that I'm unfamiliar with. To manually run through it you can do the following:

1. Open the htmlz.el file from the repo.

   • If you don't know where the file is run

     git clone https://github.com/ZekeMedley/htmlz-mode.git
     emacs htmlz-mode/htmlz.el
     

2. With the file open run M-x eval-buffer.
3. Try to start the mode by running M-x htmlz-mode with a html file open.

Have you ever got it to work? I'm using Doom emacs as well and added these to packages.el:

(package! htmlz-mode
  :recipe (:host github :repo "0xekez/htmlz-mode"
                 :files "htmlz.el"))

doom sync runs scuccessfully, but htmlz mode still doesnt come up :(

Hour long into this madness I think that the reason it doesn't work has something to do with the way straight.el expects .el files to be packaged. I assume that it doesn't simply evaluates them, but performs some special bullshido that you need to learn.

2 hours deep in the straight.el tutorial seems like it merely git clones raw repositories, which is nice. In .config/emacs/straight/build/ there is a new htmlz-mode "package" that is symlinked to repos/htmlz-mode folder. Seems like it be edited directly once I'll only find out... what actually enables it.

On the next day: fuck it, I give up, emacs docs suck too much

At the end of the next day: keep going... now it looks like fault could have been on doom emacs part all this time - running (require 'htmlz-mode) finally finally loads this god's forsaken "package"

At some point in the future, beyond time and space: I was wrong about doom emacs, htmlz.el didn't conform to emacs packaging style - trying to rewrite it and see if it finally loads correctly

One eternity later: solved, see issue 2
