(tex-font-lock-keywords-1): Fix ARG regexp to skip quoted braces. (tex-font-lock-keywords-2): Fix ARG regexp to skip quoted braces. Remove `bf' and `it' from `bold' and `italic' (they were wrong and are (correctly) handled separately). Remove `caption' and `footnote' from `citations': they contain text. Don't highlight `textmd', `texttt' and `textrm' with bold-italic. (latex-skeleton-end-hook): New function. (latex-mode): Use it. (tex-start-tex-marker): Remove. (tex-send-tex-command): Don't set tex-start-tex-marker. (tex-error-parse-syntax-table): New var. (tex-compilation-parse-errors): Use it. Ignore tex-start-tex-marker.

;; Purpose:

;; Meta-mode to create simple major modes
;; with basic comment and font-lock support

;;; Commentary:

;; INTRODUCTION:

;; Generic-mode is a meta-mode which can be used to define small modes
;; which provide basic comment and font-lock support.  These modes are
;; intended for the many configuration files and such which are too small
;; for a "real" mode, but still have a regular syntax, comment characters
;; and the like.
;;
;; Each generic mode can define the following:
;;
;; * List of comment-characters.  The entries in this list should be
;;   either a character, a one or two character string or a cons pair.
;;   If the entry is a character or a one-character string
;;   LIMITATIONS:  Emacs does not support comment strings of more than
;;   two characters in length.
;;
;; * List of keywords to font-lock.  Each keyword should be a string.
;;   If you have additional keywords which should be highlighted in a face
;;   different from `font-lock-keyword-face', you can use the convenience
;;   function `generic-make-keywords-list' (which see), and add the
;;   result to the following list:
;;
;; * Additional expressions to font-lock.  This should be a list of
;;   expressions, each of which should be of the same form
;;   as those in `font-lock-defaults-alist'.
;;
;; * List of regular expressions to be placed in auto-mode-alist.
;;
;; * List of functions to call to do some additional setup
;;
;; This should pretty much cover basic functionality; if you need much
;; more than this, or you find yourself writing extensive customizations,
;; perhaps you should be writing a major mode instead!
;;
;; LOCAL VARIABLES:
;;
;; To put a file into generic mode using local variables, use a line
;; like this in a Local Variables block:
;;
;;   mode: default-generic
;;
;; Do NOT use "mode: generic"!
;; See also "AUTOMATICALLY ENTERING GENERIC MODE" below.
;;
;; DEFINING NEW GENERIC MODES:
;;
;; Use the `define-generic-mode' function to define new modes.
;; For example:
;;
;;   (require 'generic)
;;   (define-generic-mode 'foo-generic-mode
;;                        (list ?% )
;;                        (list "keyword")
;;                        nil
;;			  (list "\\.FOO\\'")
;;			  (list 'foo-setup-function))
;;
;; defines a new generic-mode `foo-generic-mode', which has '%' as a
;; comment character, and "keyword" as a keyword. When files which end in
;; '.FOO' are loaded, Emacs will go into foo-generic-mode and call
;; foo-setup-function.  You can also use the function `foo-generic-mode'
;; (which is interactive) to put a buffer into foo-generic-mode.
;;
;; AUTOMATICALLY ENTERING GENERIC MODE:
;;
;; Generic-mode provides a hook which automatically puts a
;; file into default-generic-mode if the first few lines of a file in
;; fundamental mode start with a hash comment character. To disable
;; this functionality, set the variable `generic-use-find-file-hook'
;; to nil BEFORE loading generic-mode. See the variables
;; `generic-lines-to-scan' and `generic-find-file-regexp' for customization
;; options.
;;
;; GOTCHAS:
;;
;; Be careful that your font-lock definitions are correct.  Getting them
;; wrong can cause emacs to continually attempt to fontify! This problem
;; is not specific to generic-mode.

  "Create a new generic mode with NAME.

Args: (NAME COMMENT-LIST KEYWORD-LIST FONT-LOCK-LIST AUTO-MODE-LIST
            FUNCTION-LIST &optional DESCRIPTION)

NAME should be a symbol; its string representation is used as the function
name. If DESCRIPTION is provided, it is used as the docstring for the new
function.

COMMENT-LIST is a list, whose entries are either a single character,
a one or two character string or a cons pair. If the entry is a character
or a one-character string, it is added to the mode's syntax table with
`comment-start' syntax.  If the entry is a cons pair, the elements of the
pair are considered to be `comment-start' and `comment-end' respectively.
Note that Emacs has limitations regarding comment characters.

KEYWORD-LIST is a list of keywords to highlight with `font-lock-keyword-face'.
Each keyword should be a string.

FONT-LOCK-LIST is a list of additional expressions to highlight. Each entry
in the list should have the same form as an entry in `font-lock-defaults-alist'

AUTO-MODE-LIST is a list of regular expressions to add to `auto-mode-alist'.
These regexps are added to `auto-mode-alist' as soon as `define-generic-mode'
is called; any old regexps with the same name are removed.

FUNCTION-LIST is a list of functions to call to do some additional setup.

See the file generic-x.el for some examples of `define-generic-mode'."
