I think there is room for improvement, but it is better to improve what we have rather to start something from scratch. So, you can take mallard.xml from https://gitorious.org/~gpoo/mallard-gedit-snippets/mallard-gedit-snippets-gpoo and leave it under .../gedit/snippets[1]. Once you enable snippets plugin, you can set the page as Mallard and you can auto-complete. -- Germán Póo-Caamaño http://people.gnome.org/~gpoo/
