25 ;; The main exported function is `syntax-ppss'. You might also need
26 ;; to call `syntax-ppss-flush-cache' or to add it to
27 ;; before-change-functions'(although this is automatically done by
28 ;; syntax-ppss when needed, but that might fail if syntax-ppss is
29 ;; called in a context where before-change-functions is temporarily
30 ;; let-bound to nil).
31
32 ;;; Todo:
33
34 ;; - do something about the case where the syntax-table is changed.
35 ;; This typically happens with tex-mode and its `$' operator.
36 ;; - new functions `syntax-state', ... to replace uses of parse-partial-state
37 ;; with something higher-level (similar to syntax-ppss-context).
38 ;; - interaction with mmm-mode.

54 ;; gives unreliable results (and stores them in its cache to boot, so we'd
55 ;; have to flush that cache between each function, and we couldn't use

62 start and end of the text to be fontified. Major modes can
63 specify a custom function to apply `syntax-table' properties to
64 override the default syntax table in special cases.
65
66 The specified function may call `syntax-ppss' on any position

144 at macro-expansion time, a precompiled set of rules, as returned
145 by `syntax-propertize-precompile-rules'.

147 Otherwise, RULE should have the form (REGEXP HIGHLIGHT1 ... HIGHLIGHTn), where
148 REGEXP is an expression (evaluated at time of macro-expansion) that returns
149 a regexp, and where HIGHLIGHTs have the form (NUMBER SYNTAX) which means to
150 apply the property SYNTAX to the chars matched by the subgroup NUMBER
151 of the regular expression, if NUMBER did match.
152 SYNTAX is an expression that returns a value to apply as `syntax-table'
153 property. Some expressions are handled specially:
154 - if SYNTAX is a string, then it is converted with `string-to-syntax';
155 - if SYNTAX has the form (prog1 EXP . EXPS) then the value returned by EXP
156 will be applied to the buffer before running EXPS and if EXP is a string it
157 is also converted with `string-to-syntax'.
158 The SYNTAX expression is responsible to save the `match-data' if needed
159 for subsequent HIGHLIGHTs.
160 Also SYNTAX is free to move point, in which case RULES may not be applied to
161 some parts of the text or may be applied several times to other parts.
