After you install the RPM, visiting any file that ends in ".xhtml"
should switch to nXML mode (unless the file explicitly sets a
different mode).  If not, you can explicitly call M-x nxml-mode.

There is a cursory Info document ("nXML Mode") that describes most of
the features.

You can use the Custom feature to experiment with different faces.  At
the moment, I'm using this:

(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 )
(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 '(mode-line ((((type x w32 mac) (class color)) (:background "navy" :foreground "yellow" :box (:line-width -1 :style released-button)))))
 '(nxml-comment-content-face ((t (:foreground "yellow4"))))
 '(nxml-delimited-data-face ((t (:foreground "lime green"))))
 '(nxml-delimiter-face ((t (:foreground "grey"))))
 '(nxml-element-local-name-face ((t (:inherit nxml-name-face :foreground "medium turquoise"))))
 '(nxml-name-face ((t (:foreground "rosy brown"))))
 '(nxml-tag-slash-face ((t (:inherit nxml-name-face :foreground "grey")))))

(Although this probably won't look decent unless you use whitish text
on a blackish background.)
