;;; Commentary:

;; Font Lock mode is a minor mode that causes your comments to be displayed in
;; one face, strings in another, reserved words in another, and so on.
;;
;; Comments will be displayed in `font-lock-comment-face'.
;; Strings will be displayed in `font-lock-string-face'.
;; Regexps are used to display selected patterns in other faces.
;;
;; To make the text you type be fontified, use M-x font-lock-mode.
;; When this minor mode is on, the faces of the current line are
;; updated with every insertion or deletion.
;;
;; To turn Font Lock mode on automatically, add this to your .emacs file:
;;
;;  (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
;;
;; On a Sparc2, `font-lock-fontify-buffer' takes about 10 seconds for a 120k
;; file of C code using the default configuration, and about 25 seconds using
;; the more extensive configuration, though times also depend on file contents.
;; You can speed this up substantially by removing some of the patterns that
;; are highlighted by default.  Fontifying Lisp code is significantly faster,
;; because Lisp has a more regular syntax than C, so the expressions don't have
;; to be as hairy.
;;
;; If you add patterns for a new mode, say foo.el's `foo-mode', say in which
;; you don't want syntactic fontification to occur, you can make Font Lock mode
;; use your regexps when turning on Font Lock by adding to `foo-mode-hook':
;;
;;  (add-hook 'foo-mode-hook
;;   '(lambda () (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults)
;;               (setq font-lock-defaults '(foo-font-lock-keywords t))))
;;
;; Nasty regexps of the form "bar\\(\\|lo\\)\\|f\\(oo\\|u\\(\\|bar\\)\\)\\|lo"
;; are made thusly: (make-regexp '("foo" "fu" "fubar" "bar" "barlo" "lo")) for
;; efficiency.  See /pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/functions/make-regexp.el.Z on
;; archive.cis.ohio-state.edu for this and other functions.

 REGEXP
 (REGEXP . MATCH)
 (REGEXP . FACENAME)
 (REGEXP . HIGHLIGHT)
 (REGEXP HIGHLIGHT ...)

where HIGHLIGHT should be of the form (MATCH FACENAME OVERRIDE LAXMATCH).
REGEXP is the regexp to search for, MATCH is the subexpression of REGEXP to be
highlighted, FACENAME is an expression whose value is the face name to use.
FACENAME's default attributes may be defined in `font-lock-face-attributes'.

OVERRIDE and LAXMATCH are flags.  If OVERRIDE is t, existing fontification may
be overriden.  If `keep', only parts not already fontified are highlighted.
If LAXMATCH is non-nil, no error is signalled if there is no MATCH in REGEXP.

These regular expressions should not match text which spans lines.  While
\\[font-lock-fontify-buffer] handles multi-line patterns correctly, updating
when you edit the buffer does not, since it considers text one line at a time.

Be careful composing regexps for this list;
the wrong pattern can dramatically slow things down!")

  "Toggle Font Lock mode.
With arg, turn Font Lock mode on if and only if arg is positive.

When Font Lock mode is enabled, text is fontified as you type it:

 - Comments are displayed in `font-lock-comment-face';
 - Strings are displayed in `font-lock-string-face';
 - Certain other expressions are displayed in other faces according to the
   value of the variable `font-lock-keywords'.

You can enable Font Lock mode in any major mode automatically by turning on in
the major mode's hook.  For example, put in your ~/.emacs:

 (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)

Or for any visited file with the following in your ~/.emacs:

 (add-hook 'find-file-hooks 'turn-on-font-lock)

The default Font Lock mode faces and their attributes are defined in the
variable `font-lock-face-attributes', and Font Lock mode default settings in
the variable `font-lock-defaults-alist'.

When you turn Font Lock mode on/off the buffer is fontified/defontified, though
fontification occurs only if the buffer is less than `font-lock-maximum-size'.
To fontify a buffer without turning on Font Lock mode, and regardless of buffer
size, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-buffer]."
