this seems to be a sure bug.

In html-mode. If you have this:

<p>some'</p>

and your cursor is at the beginning of line, then press C-c C-d
(sgml-delete-tag), it'll also delete the apostrophe.

This is “GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6002) of 2010-05-08 on G41R2F1”

Hi,

can confirm this bug.
GNU Emacs 23.2.94.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.6) of 2011-02-25

Error is in backward-prefix-chars, ie. in syntax.c AFAIS.

line 2855

  while (!char_quoted (pos, pos_byte)
	 /* Previous statement updates syntax table.  */
	 && ((c = FETCH_CHAR_AS_MULTIBYTE (pos_byte), SYNTAX (c) == Squote)
	     || SYNTAX_PREFIX (c)))
                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

may that `or' SYNTAX_PREFIX above?

Why would you think so?  I'd rather say that the error is that ' in
html-mode buffers should not have prefix syntax.

Indeed, thanks

couldn't get the syntax properly, as my report function in use failed.

with point at opening lesser-angle at closing tag
(syntax-after (1- (point)))


returns (1048578)

while word chars before return

(2)

checked with


(defun syntax-bfpt ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((stax (syntax-after (1- (point)))))
    (when (interactive-p)
      (message (format "%s" stax)))
    stax))

Hello,

I just wanted to add that the bug persists in GNU Emacs 25.1.50.1.

Best,

There is already

(defconst sgml-tag-syntax-table
...
    (unless (memq ?' sgml-specials)
      ;; Avoid that skipping a tag backwards skips any "'" prefixing it.
      (modify-syntax-entry ?' "w" table))

But it seems like `sgml-tag-syntax-table' is not applied in sufficient cases.

This was fixed along with Bug#35381.
