25;;; Commentary
26;;
27;; With the hi-lock commands text matching interactively entered
28;; regexp's can be highlighted. For example, `M-x highlight-regexp
29;; RET clearly RET RET' will highlight all occurrences of `clearly'
30;; using a yellow background face. New occurrences of `clearly' will
31;; be highlighted as they are typed. `M-x unhighlight-regexp RET'
32;; will remove the highlighting. Any existing face can be used for
33;; highlighting and a set of appropriate faces is provided. The
34;; regexps can be written into the current buffer in a form that will
35;; be recognized the next time the corresponding file is read.
36;;
37;; Applications:
38;;
39;; In program source code highlight a variable to quickly see all
40;; places it is modified or referenced:
41;; M-x highlight-regexp ground_contact_switches_closed RET RET
42;;
43;; In a shell or other buffer that is showing lots of program
44;; output, highlight the parts of the output you're interested in:
45;; M-x highlight-regexp Total execution time [0-9]+ RET hi-blue-b RET
46;;
47;; In buffers displaying tables, highlight the lines you're interested in:
48;; M-x highlight-lines-matching-regexp January 2000 RET hi-black-b RET
49;;
50;; When writing text, highlight personal cliches. This can be
51;; amusing.
52;; M-x highlight-regexp as can be seen RET RET
53;;
54;; Setup
55;;
56;; Put the following code in your .emacs file. This turns on
57;; hi-lock mode and adds an "Automatic Highlighting" entry
58;; to the edit menu.
59;;
60;; (hi-lock-mode 1)
61;;
62;; You might also want to bind the hi-lock commands to more
63;; finger-friendly sequences:
64
65;; (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-z\C-h" 'highlight-lines-matching-regexp)
66;; (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zi" 'hi-lock-find-patterns)
67;; (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zh" 'highlight-regexp)
68;; (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zr" 'unhighlight-regexp)
69;; (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zb" 'hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns))
70
71;; See the documentation for hi-lock-mode `C-h f hi-lock-mode' for
72;; additional instructions.
73
74;; Sample file patterns:
75
76; Hi-lock: (("^;;; .*" (0 (quote hi-black-hb) t)))
77; Hi-lock: ( ("make-variable-buffer-\\(local\\)" (0 font-lock-keyword-face)(1 'italic append)))))

241If ARG positive turn hi-lock on. Issuing a hi-lock command will also
242turn hi-lock on. When hi-lock turned on an \"Automatic Highlighting\"
243submenu is added to the \"Edit\" menu. The commands in the submenu,
244which can be called interactively, are:
245
246\\[highlight-regexp] REGEXP FACE
247 Highlight matches of pattern REGEXP in current buffer with FACE.
248
249\\[highlight-lines-matching-regexp] REGEXP FACE
250 Highlight lines containing matches of REGEXP in current buffer with FACE.
251
252\\[unhighlight-regexp] REGEXP
253 Remove highlighting on matches of REGEXP in current buffer.
254
255\\[hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns]
256 Write active REGEXPs into buffer as comments (if possible). They will
257 be read the next time file is loaded or when the \\[hi-lock-find-patterns] command
258 is issued. The inserted regexps are in the form of font lock keywords.
259 (See `font-lock-keywords') They may be edited and re-loaded with \\[hi-lock-find-patterns],
260 any valid `font-lock-keywords' form is acceptable.
261
262\\[hi-lock-find-patterns]
263 Re-read patterns stored in buffer (in the format produced by \\[hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns]).
264
265When hi-lock is started and if the mode is not excluded, the
266beginning of the buffer is searched for lines of the form:
267 Hi-lock: FOO
268where FOO is a list of patterns. These are added to the font lock keywords
269already present. The patterns must start before position (number
270of characters into buffer) `hi-lock-file-patterns-range'. Patterns
271will be read until
272 Hi-lock: end
