There's nothing wrong with that name, but it's not what a user will think of. What the mode normally does is put the text in color. A user will think of typing M-x color TAB to look for a name. So I think it should have the name colorize-mode. If it also has the name syntax-highlight-mode, that is fine too. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
