;;; Commentary:
;;
;;  With the hi-lock commands text matching interactively entered
;;  regexp's can be highlighted.  For example, `M-x highlight-regexp
;;  RET clearly RET RET' will highlight all occurrences of `clearly'
;;  using a yellow background face.  New occurrences of `clearly' will
;;  be highlighted as they are typed.  `M-x unhighlight-regexp RET'
;;  will remove the highlighting.  Any existing face can be used for
;;  highlighting and a set of appropriate faces is provided.  The
;;  regexps can be written into the current buffer in a form that will
;;  be recognized the next time the corresponding file is read (when
;;  file patterns is turned on).
;;
;;  Applications:
;;
;;    In program source code highlight a variable to quickly see all
;;    places it is modified or referenced:
;;    M-x highlight-regexp ground_contact_switches_closed RET RET
;;
;;    In a shell or other buffer that is showing lots of program
;;    output, highlight the parts of the output you're interested in:
;;    M-x highlight-regexp Total execution time [0-9]+ RET hi-blue-b RET
;;
;;    In buffers displaying tables, highlight the lines you're interested in:
;;    M-x highlight-lines-matching-regexp January 2000 RET hi-black-b RET
;;
;;    When writing text, highlight personal cliches.  This can be
;;    amusing.
;;    M-x highlight-phrase as can be seen RET RET
;;
;;  Setup:
;;
;;    Put the following code in your .emacs file.  This turns on
;;    hi-lock mode and adds a "Regexp Highlighting" entry
;;    to the edit menu.
;;
;;    (global-hi-lock-mode 1)
;;
;;    To enable the use of patterns found in files (presumably placed
;;    there by hi-lock) include the following in your .emacs file:
;;
;;    (setq hi-lock-file-patterns-policy 'ask)
;;
;;    If you get tired of being asked each time a file is loaded replace
;;    `ask' with a function that returns t if patterns should be read.
;;
;;    You might also want to bind the hi-lock commands to more
;;    finger-friendly sequences:

;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-z\C-h" 'highlight-lines-matching-regexp)
;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zi" 'hi-lock-find-patterns)
;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zh" 'highlight-regexp)
;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zp" 'highlight-phrase)
;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zr" 'unhighlight-regexp)
;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zb" 'hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns))

;;    See the documentation for hi-lock-mode `C-h f hi-lock-mode' for
;;    additional instructions.

;; Sample file patterns:

; Hi-lock: (("^;;; .*" (0 (quote hi-black-hb) t)))

  "Toggle minor mode for interactively adding font-lock highlighting patterns.

If ARG positive, turn hi-lock on.  Issuing a hi-lock command will also
turn hi-lock on.  To turn hi-lock on in all buffers use
`global-hi-lock-mode' or in your .emacs file (global-hi-lock-mode 1).
When hi-lock is turned on, a \"Regexp Highlighting\" submenu is added
to the \"Edit\" menu.  The commands in the submenu, which can be
called interactively, are:

\\[highlight-regexp] REGEXP FACE
  Highlight matches of pattern REGEXP in current buffer with FACE.

\\[highlight-phrase] PHRASE FACE
  Highlight matches of phrase PHRASE in current buffer with FACE.
  (PHRASE can be any REGEXP, but spaces will be replaced by matches
  to whitespace and initial lower-case letters will become case insensitive.)

\\[highlight-lines-matching-regexp] REGEXP FACE
  Highlight lines containing matches of REGEXP in current buffer with FACE.

\\[unhighlight-regexp] REGEXP
  Remove highlighting on matches of REGEXP in current buffer.

\\[hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns]
  Write active REGEXPs into buffer as comments (if possible).  They may
  be read the next time file is loaded or when the \\[hi-lock-find-patterns] command
  is issued.  The inserted regexps are in the form of font lock keywords.
  (See `font-lock-keywords'.)  They may be edited and re-loaded with \\[hi-lock-find-patterns], 
  any valid `font-lock-keywords' form is acceptable. When a file is
  loaded the patterns are read if `hi-lock-file-patterns-policy is
  'ask and the user responds y to the prompt, or if
  `hi-lock-file-patterns-policy' is bound to a function and that
  function returns t.

\\[hi-lock-find-patterns]
  Re-read patterns stored in buffer (in the format produced by \\[hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns]).

When hi-lock is started and if the mode is not excluded or patterns
rejected, the beginning of the buffer is searched for lines of the
form:
  Hi-lock: FOO
where FOO is a list of patterns.  These are added to the font lock
keywords already present.  The patterns must start before position
\(number of characters into buffer) `hi-lock-file-patterns-range'.
Patterns will be read until
 Hi-lock: end
is found.  A mode is excluded if it's in the list `hi-lock-exclude-modes'."
