(hi-lock-mode): Toggling hi-lock-mode now affects all buffers. When hi-lock turned on rather than only checking current buffer for regexps, all buffers are checked. Moved activation of font-lock to hi-lock-refontify. When font-lock turned off rather than removing added highlighting just in current buffer, remove it in all buffers. Changed edit menu text from "Automatic Highlighting" to "Regexp Highlighting" Documentation for highlighting phrases, minor documentation changes. (hi-lock-set-file-patterns): Execute only if there are new or existing file patterns. (hi-lock-refontify): Assume font-lock-fontify-buffer will first unfontify and, if a support mode is active, will not refontify the whole buffer. If necessary, turn on font lock. (Removed font-lock-unfontify and font-lock support-mode-specific calls, such as lazy-lock-fontify-window.) (hi-lock-find-patterns): Do not turn on hi-lock-mode even if patterns are found. Not useful now since find-file-hook is removed if hi-lock is off, but may be needed for per-buffer hi-lock activation. (hi-lock-face-phrase-buffer): New function. Also added related menu item and keybinding. (highlight-phrase): New alias, to hi-lock-face-phrase-buffer. (hi-lock-process-phrase): New function. (hi-lock-line-face-buffer): Doc fixes. (hi-lock-face-buffer): Doc fixes. (hi-lock-unface-buffer): Doc fixes.

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 P in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
