36 | KEYWORDS may be a symbol (a variable or function whose value is the keywords |
37 | to use for fontification) or a list of symbols (specifying different levels | |
38 | of fontification). | |
39 | ||
40 | If KEYWORDS-ONLY is non-nil, syntactic fontification (strings and | |
41 | comments) is not performed. | |

45 | If SYNTAX-ALIST is non-nil, it should be a list of cons pairs of the form |
46 | \(CHAR-OR-STRING . STRING) used to set the local Font Lock syntax table, for | |
47 | keyword and syntactic fontification (see `modify-syntax-entry'). | |
48 | ||
49 | If SYNTAX-BEGIN is non-nil, it should be a function with no args used to move | |
50 | backwards outside any enclosing syntactic block, for syntactic fontification. | |
51 | Typical values are `beginning-of-line' (i.e., the start of the line is known to | |
52 | be outside a syntactic block), or `beginning-of-defun' for programming modes or | |
53 | `backward-paragraph' for textual modes (i.e., the mode-dependent function is | |
54 | known to move outside a syntactic block). If nil, the beginning of the buffer | |
55 | is used as a position outside of a syntactic block, in the worst case. | |

62 | `font-lock-beginning-of-syntax-function', respectively. | |

64 | Further item elements are alists of the form (VARIABLE . VALUE) and are in no | |

67 | Currently, appropriate variables include `font-lock-mark-block-function'. | |
68 | If this is non-nil, it should be a function with no args used to mark any | |
69 | enclosing block of text, for fontification via \\[font-lock-fontify-block]. | |
70 | Typical values are `mark-defun' for programming modes or `mark-paragraph' for | |
71 | textual modes (i.e., the mode-dependent function is known to put point and mark | |

106 | \(Font Lock is also known as \"syntax highlighting\".) | |
107 | ||
108 | When Font Lock mode is enabled, text is fontified as you type it: | |
109 | ||
110 | - Comments are displayed in `font-lock-comment-face'; | |
111 | - Strings are displayed in `font-lock-string-face'; | |
112 | - Certain other expressions are displayed in other faces according to the | |
113 | value of the variable `font-lock-keywords'. | |
114 | ||
115 | To customize the faces (colors, fonts, etc.) used by Font Lock for | |
116 | fontifying different parts of buffer text, use \\[customize-face]. | |
117 | ||
118 | You can enable Font Lock mode in any major mode automatically by turning on in | |
119 | the major mode's hook. For example, put in your ~/.emacs: | |
120 | ||
121 | (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock) | |
122 | ||
123 | Alternatively, you can use Global Font Lock mode to automagically turn on Font | |
124 | Lock mode in buffers whose major mode supports it and whose major mode is one | |
125 | of `font-lock-global-modes'. For example, put in your ~/.emacs: | |
126 | ||
127 | (global-font-lock-mode t) | |
128 | ||
ea5b829c RF |
129 | Where major modes support different levels of fontification, you can use |
130 | the variable `font-lock-maximum-decoration' to specify which level you | |
131 | generally prefer. When you turn Font Lock mode on/off the buffer is | |
132 | fontified/defontified, though fontification occurs only if the buffer is | |
133 | less than `font-lock-maximum-size'. | |
f62be99b | 134 | |
f62be99b CW |
135 | To add your own highlighting for some major mode, and modify the highlighting |
136 | selected automatically via the variable `font-lock-maximum-decoration', you can | |
137 | use `font-lock-add-keywords'. | |
138 | ||
139 | To fontify a buffer, without turning on Font Lock mode and regardless of buffer | |
140 | size, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-buffer]. | |
141 | ||
142 | To fontify a block (the function or paragraph containing point, or a number of | |
143 | lines around point), perhaps because modification on the current line caused | |
144 | syntactic change on other lines, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-block]. | |
145 | ||
146 | See the variable `font-lock-defaults-alist' for the Font Lock mode default | |
147 | settings. You can set your own default settings for some mode, by setting a | |
7c4ef9b3 CW |
148 | buffer local value for `font-lock-defaults', via its mode hook. |
149 | ||
150 | The above is the default behavior of `font-lock-mode'; you may specify | |
151 | your own function which is called when `font-lock-mode' is toggled via | |
152 | `font-lock-function'. " | |

225 | ;; A few people have hassled in the past for a way to make it easier to turn on | |
226 | ;; Font Lock mode, without the user needing to know for which modes s/he has to | |
227 | ;; turn it on, perhaps the same way hilit19.el/hl319.el does. I've always | |
228 | ;; balked at that way, as I see it as just re-moulding the same problem in | |
229 | ;; another form. That is; some person would still have to keep track of which | |
230 | ;; modes (which may not even be distributed with Emacs) support Font Lock mode. | |
231 | ;; The list would always be out of date. And that person might have to be me. | |
232 | ||
233 | ;; Implementation. | |
234 | ;; | |
235 | ;; In a previous discussion the following hack came to mind. It is a gross | |
236 | ;; hack, but it generally works. We use the convention that major modes start | |
237 | ;; by calling the function `kill-all-local-variables', which in turn runs | |
238 | ;; functions on the hook variable `change-major-mode-hook'. We attach our | |
239 | ;; function `font-lock-change-major-mode' to that hook. Of course, when this | |
240 | ;; hook is run, the major mode is in the process of being changed and we do not | |
241 | ;; know what the final major mode will be. So, `font-lock-change-major-mode' | |
242 | ;; only (a) notes the name of the current buffer, and (b) adds our function | |
35a46c5c | 243 | ;; `turn-on-font-lock-if-desired' to the hook variables |
21178fee LT |
244 | ;; `after-change-major-mode-hook' and `post-command-hook' (for modes |
245 | ;; that do not yet run `after-change-major-mode-hook'). By the time | |
f62be99b CW |
246 | ;; the functions on the first of these hooks to be run are run, the new major |
247 | ;; mode is assumed to be in place. This way we get a Font Lock function run | |
248 | ;; when a major mode is turned on, without knowing major modes or their hooks. | |
249 | ;; | |
21178fee LT |
250 | ;; Naturally this requires that major modes run `kill-all-local-variables' |
251 | ;; and `after-change-major-mode-hook', as they are supposed to. For modes | |
252 | ;; that do not run `after-change-major-mode-hook' yet, `post-command-hook' | |
253 | ;; takes care of things if the mode is set directly or indirectly by | |
254 | ;; an interactive command; however, problems can occur if the mode is | |
255 | ;; set by a timer or process: in that case, proper handling of Font Lock mode | |
256 | ;; may be delayed until the next interactive command. | |
f62be99b CW |
257 | |
258 | ;; User interface. | |
259 | ;; | |
260 | ;; Although Global Font Lock mode is a pseudo-mode, I think that the user | |
261 | ;; interface should conform to the usual Emacs convention for modes, i.e., a | |
262 | ;; command to toggle the feature (`global-font-lock-mode') with a variable for | |
fffa137c | 263 | ;; finer control of the mode's behavior (`font-lock-global-modes'). |
f62be99b CW |
264 | ;; |
265 | ;; The feature should not be enabled by loading font-lock.el, since other | |
266 | ;; mechanisms for turning on Font Lock mode, such as M-x font-lock-mode RET or | |
267 | ;; (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock), would cause Font Lock mode to be | |
268 | ;; turned on everywhere. That would not be intuitive or informative because | |
