Which feature? There are various. Most of the "multiline font locking" features are aimed at solving the situation were a single font-lock rule can match a chunk of text that spans several lines (e.g. putting a bold font on text within "\textbf{...}"). For your case (of highlighting the CSS or Javascript part of an HTML buffer), I think that a "multi-major-mode" approach is more promising, tho this is an even harder problem to solve than mere multiline font locking.

I realize now that my question was unclear. I don't want mode specific highlighting within javascript/css chunks. I only want to see that the chunks are there by applying a face with a slightly different background. So this is simply a problem of multiline font-locking. -- Le [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 2264 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
