Subject: Could the current font-lock mechanism support font locking code in comments?
Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2021 07:40:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <-vuXfnLB83FOYoLI0Kery7gGaun-l6OFzywSWZ6LMyJTpDGk9ooLIKfJ4xSCkYwNTK9IHgDhtkdxPw7kXZkyaippVgp7CRR3aMz7dbos3og=@protonmail.com> (raw)
For example, if I have a file which have some
commented code parts then they could be easier to
read if they were also font locked maybe with dimmed
versions of the regular font lock colors.
Could it be done by reusing the current font locking
implementation and re-running it on a commented code part?
I mean something like layers, the comment is font locked
first with comment syntax as usual and then if some option
is set then font locking is run again on the comment contents
like it's some individual file and it's fontified with dimmed
colors, so it can be distinguished from regular code.
Could current font lock support this somehow or there
is no way that the same buffer part can be fontified
two times by such competing rules?
