You can do that in Elisp with a command like this: ----------------------------------------------------------------- -Q. Why do I get a warning "[Proof General]: an old version of xml.el was loaded!"? - -A. Your Emacs session has loaded a version of xml.el from somewhere other - than the PG/lib directory. It has a bug which *may* affect PG, if - empty tags are parsed. To avoid this warning, try to start - Proof General before other Emacs packages which use xml.el, such as GNUS. +Q. Why do I get a warning "Bad version of xml.el found, ..."? + +A. Your Emacs distribution includes a version of xml.el which has + fundamental bugs. The patched version of xml.el, in lib/xml-fixed.el + has been loaded instead. This works for Proof General because it fixes + the basic bugs, but it may cause compatibility issues in other packages + (e.g. it is quite different from the latest xml.el with GNU Emacs + development versions). + + This message is probably nothing to worry about unless you are using + the same Emacs session for other packages that heavily use xml.el + (e.g. GNUS). ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- cgit v1.2.3
