Make occur handle multi-line matches cleanly with context. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-03/msg01280.html * replace.el (occur-accumulate-lines): Add optional arg `pt'. (occur-engine): Add local variables `ret', `prev-after-lines', `prev-lines'. Use more arguments for `occur-context-lines'. Set first elem of its returned list to `data', and the second elem to `prev-after-lines'. Don't print the separator line. In the end, print remaining context after-lines. (occur-context-lines): Add new arguments `begpt', `endpt', `lines', `prev-lines', `prev-after-lines'. Rewrite to combine after-lines of the previous match with before-lines of the current match and not overlap them. Return a list with two values: the output line and the list of context after-lines. * search.texi (Other Repeating Search): Remove line that `occur' can not handle multiline matches. * occur-testsuite.el (occur-tests): Add tests for context lines.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
