Subject: bug#192: regexp does not work as documented
Date: Sat, 10 May 2008 15:13:37 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <yg5bq3ddij2.fsf__8056.73884829066$1210456986$gmane$org@nested.ece.lsu.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <yg5skwqc6ho.fsf@nested.ece.lsu.edu> (David Koppelman's message of "Sat, 10 May 2008 14:18:59 -0500")
I *am* able to reproduce the font-lock-multiline limitation martin
described if the buffer is in text mode. I had tried to reproduce it
in emacs-lisp mode.
First I'll work on the hi-lock warning as I described below, then I'll
see about detecting and doing something helpful for additional
situations where multi-line won't work.
