OK. I'm warming to the new functionality, now that I've been using it for a few days :-) I also notice that emcas 22's HTML-mode (the one provided by sgml-mode) is treating /* and */ as comment-delimiters - at least as far as font-lock-mode is concerned - possibly in support of comments in embedded CSS style sheets, but maybe a bug in some mode-related code borrowing off C by mistake. Very tiresome in documents that talk about files, e.g. "see source/*.mk for details." And, on a wildly separate topic, I owe you some updates to the GNU make manual: see http://www.chaos.org.uk/~eddy/craft/make.html for a talk in which I tried out my changes on the Bergen LUG, to see if (a) anyone could spot any mistakes I was making and (b) whether it was intelligible. Even documentation deserves testing ... Main obstacle to supplying a patch (aside from the usual scarcity of time) is that I'm not info-literate, although I can probably remember enough TeX to work it out, Eddy.
