It highlights TODO/FIXME strings in comments only ... here's what I have that works in Emacs 21.x: (custom-set-faces '(my-todo-face ((((class color)) (:weight bold :foreground "firebrick2" :background "yellow"))) t)) (defun my-font-lock-mode-hook () (font-lock-add-keywords nil (list (cons (concat "^.*" (replace-regexp-in-string "[ \t]+$" "" comment-start) ".*?\\(TODO\\|todo\\|Todo\\|FIXME\\|fixme\\| Fixme\\)") (list '(1 'my-todo-face t)))) 'add-to-end)) (add-hook 'font-lock-mode-hook 'my-font-lock-mode-hook) Yeah, yeah, it won't work in the middle of multi-line comments, but does for 99% of cases I usually see. As I said, it works in 21.x, but in 22.x it seems like comment-start may not be set before font-lock- mode-hook gets run. If I run the function after the mode has been loaded, it's fine. I'm running Emacs under WinXP if that matters ... Scott
