Subject: bug#74307: 30.0.92; emacs-lisp font-locking word regexp
Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2024 00:28:34 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87jzdawagd.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
Starting from emacs -Q, put the following into a buffer with
emacs-lisp-mode
(setq foo "\\<foo\\>")
The part "foo\\" of the string "\\<foo\\>" will get
font-lock-variable-name-face, which looks odd.
I believe, this is due to a clause in lisp-mode.el that says
;; Words inside \\[], \\<>, \\{} or \\`' tend to be for
;; `substitute-command-keys'.
But this assumption is not always correct, in particular if ">" is
preceded by "\\", which happens when constructing regexps.
