643 @findex hi-lock-mode |
68516 | 644 Hi Lock mode is another minor mode, which highlights text that |
645 matches your specified regular expressions. For example, you might | |
646 wish to see all the references to a certain variable in a program | |
647 source file, highlight certain parts in a voluminous output of some | |
648 program, or make certain names stand out in an article. Use the | |
649 @kbd{M-x hi-lock-mode} command to enable (or disable) Hi Lock mode. | |
650 To enable Hi Lock mode for all buffers, use @kbd{M-x | |
651 global-hi-lock-mode} or place @code{(global-hi-lock-mode 1)} in your | |
652 @file{.emacs} file. | |

662 Highlight text that matches @var{regexp} using face @var{face} |
68516 | 663 (@code{highlight-regexp}). The highlighting will remain as long as |
664 the buffer is loaded. For example, to highlight all occurrences of | |
665 the word ``whim'' using the default face (a yellow background) | |
666 @kbd{C-x w h whim @key{RET} @key{RET}}. Any face can be used for | |
667 highlighting, Hi Lock provides several of its own and these are | |
668 pre-loaded into a history list. While being prompted for a face use | |
669 @kbd{M-p} and @kbd{M-n} to cycle through them. | |
670 | |
671 You can use this command multiple times, specifying various regular | |
672 expressions to highlight in different ways. | |

1023 Normally, a tab character in the buffer is displayed as whitespace which | |
1024 extends to the next display tab stop position, and display tab stops come | |
1025 at intervals equal to eight spaces. The number of spaces per tab is | |
1026 controlled by the variable @code{tab-width}, which is made local by | |
1027 changing it. Note that how the tab character | |
1028 in the buffer is displayed has nothing to do with the definition of | |
1029 @key{TAB} as a command. The variable @code{tab-width} must have an | |
1030 integer value between 1 and 1000, inclusive. The variable | |
1031 @code{default-tab-width} controls the default value of this variable | |

1207 On a text-only terminal, when you reenter Emacs after suspending, Emacs | |
1208 normally clears the screen and redraws the entire display. On some | |
1209 terminals with more than one page of memory, it is possible to arrange | |
1210 the termcap entry so that the @samp{ti} and @samp{te} strings (output | |
1211 to the terminal when Emacs is entered and exited, respectively) switch | |
1212 between pages of memory so as to use one page for Emacs and another | |

1215 assume, when resumed, that the screen page it is using still contains | |
1216 what Emacs last wrote there. | |
