As I understand, M-x font-lock-mode RET _is_ generic, despite the name. I'm not sure how it works: (a) The mode always puts properties on the text, but they are ignored on display (depending on font-lock-mode). (b) The mode looks at font-lock-mode and refrains from putting the properties on the text. But in the end, it doesn't make too much of a difference: font-lock-mode is just a general toggle for the mode to do highlighting however it likes to do that. kai -- ~/.signature is: umop 3p!sdn (Frank Nobis)
