Hi all,

I’m trying to install emacs with rails support. But it has a few  
quirks. For example the snippets won’t work. I can select them from a  
menu and then they work fine. But for example when I do: flash  
nothing happens. What could this be?

Also in rhtml mode: all text between two ruby tags (\<%= %\>) is grey.  
And the background is also grey. So I can’t read anything. Is it  
possible to change these colors?

Thanks in advance! This is my .emacs:
