(The mode ;; command should make it buffer-local and set it to provide the set up.) (defvar-local font-lock-defaults nil "Defaults for Font Lock mode specified by the major mode. Defaults should be of the form: (KEYWORDS [KEYWORDS-ONLY [CASE-FOLD [SYNTAX-ALIST ...]]]) KEYWORDS may be a symbol (a variable or function whose value is the keywords to use for fontification) or a list of symbols (specifying different levels of fontification). If KEYWORDS-ONLY is non-nil, syntactic fontification (strings and comments) is not performed. If CASE-FOLD is non-nil, the case of the keywords is ignored when fontifying. If SYNTAX-ALIST is non-nil, it should be a list of cons pairs of the form \(CHAR-OR-STRING . STRING) used to set the local Font Lock syntax table, for keyword and syntactic fontification (see `modify-syntax-entry'). These item elements are used by Font Lock mode to set the variables `font-lock-keywords', `font-lock-keywords-only', `font-lock-keywords-case-fold-search', `font-lock-syntax-table'. Further item elements are alists of the form (VARIABLE . VALUE) and are in no particular order. Each VARIABLE is made buffer-local before set to VALUE. Currently, appropriate variables include `font-lock-mark-block-function'. If this is non-nil, it should be a function with no args used to mark any enclosing block of text, for fontification via \\[font-lock-fontify-block]. Typical values are `mark-defun' for programming modes or `mark-paragraph' for textual modes (i.e., the mode-dependent function is known to put point and mark around a text block relevant to that mode). Other variables include that for syntactic keyword fontification, `font-lock-syntactic-keywords' and those for buffer-specialized fontification functions, `font-lock-fontify-buffer-function', `font-lock-unfontify-buffer-function', `font-lock-fontify-region-function', `font-lock-unfontify-region-function', and `font-lock-inhibit-thing-lock'.") ;; Autoload if this file no longer dumped. ;;;###autoload (put 'font-lock-defaults 'risky-local-variable t) (defvar font-lock-function 'font-lock-default-function "A function which is called when `font-lock-mode' is toggled.

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'. To customize the faces (colors, fonts, etc.) used by Font Lock for fontifying different parts of buffer text, use \\[customize-face]. 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) Alternatively, you can use Global Font Lock mode to automagically turn on Font Lock mode in buffers whose major mode supports it and whose major mode is one of `font-lock-global-modes'. For example, put in your ~/.emacs: (global-font-lock-mode t) Where major modes support different levels of fontification, you can use the variable `font-lock-maximum-decoration' to specify which level you generally prefer. When you turn Font Lock mode on/off the buffer is fontified/defontified. To add your own highlighting for some major mode, and modify the highlighting selected automatically via the variable `font-lock-maximum-decoration', you can use `font-lock-add-keywords'. To fontify a buffer, without turning on Font Lock mode and regardless of buffer size, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-buffer]. To fontify a block (the function or paragraph containing point, or a number of lines around point), perhaps because modification on the current line caused syntactic change on other lines, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-block]. You can set your own default settings for some mode, by setting a buffer local value for `font-lock-defaults', via its mode hook. The above is the default behavior of `font-lock-mode'; you may specify your own function which is called when `font-lock-mode' is toggled via `font-lock-function'." :after-hook (font-lock-initial-fontify) ;; Don't turn on Font Lock mode if we don't have a display (we're running a ;; batch job) or if the buffer is invisible (the name starts with a space).

I've always ;; balked at that way, as I see it as just re-molding the same problem in ;; another form. That is; some person would still have to keep track of which ;; modes (which may not even be distributed with Emacs) support Font Lock mode. ;; The list would always be out of date. And that person might have to be me. ;; Implementation. ;; ;; In a previous discussion the following hack came to mind. It is a gross ;; hack, but it generally works. We use the convention that major modes start ;; by calling the function `kill-all-local-variables', which in turn runs ;; functions on the hook variable `change-major-mode-hook'. We attach our ;; function `font-lock-change-major-mode' to that hook. Of course, when this ;; hook is run, the major mode is in the process of being changed and we do not ;; know what the final major mode will be. So, `font-lock-change-major-mode' ;; only (a) notes the name of the current buffer, and (b) adds our function ;; `turn-on-font-lock-if-desired' to the hook variables ;; `after-change-major-mode-hook' and `post-command-hook' (for modes ;; that do not yet run `after-change-major-mode-hook'). By the time ;; the functions on the first of these hooks to be run are run, the new major ;; mode is assumed to be in place. This way we get a Font Lock function run ;; when a major mode is turned on, without knowing major modes or their hooks. ;; ;; Naturally this requires that major modes run `kill-all-local-variables' ;; and `after-change-major-mode-hook', as they are supposed to. For modes ;; that do not run `after-change-major-mode-hook' yet, `post-command-hook' ;; takes care of things if the mode is set directly or indirectly by ;; an interactive command; however, problems can occur if the mode is ;; set by a timer or process: in that case, proper handling of Font Lock mode ;; may be delayed until the next interactive command. ;; User interface. ;; ;; Although Global Font Lock mode is a pseudo-mode, I think that the user ;; interface should conform to the usual Emacs convention for modes, i.e., a ;; command to toggle the feature (`global-font-lock-mode') with a variable for ;; finer control of the mode's behavior (`font-lock-global-modes'). ;; ;; The feature should not be enabled by loading font-lock.el, since other ;; mechanisms for turning on Font Lock mode, such as M-x font-lock-mode RET or ;; (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock), would cause Font Lock mode to be ;; turned on everywhere. That would not be intuitive or informative because ;; loading a file tells you nothing about the feature or how to control it. It ;; would also be contrary to the Principle of Least Surprise. sm.
