How to turn off font-lock-mode with a local variable

How to turn off font-lock-mode with a local variable

[Enda]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 476 bytes --]

The following when at the end of a file does not turn off font-lock-mode when visiting a file:

;; Local Variables:
;; eval: (lisp-mode)
;; eval: (font-lock-mode -1)
;; End:


How do I turn off font-lock-mode per file then?


Best wishes,

Enda


This doesn't work either (even though I do not want to turn off font-lock globally, just for the file that I am visiting):

;; Local Variables:
;; eval: (lisp-mode)
;; eval: (global-font-lock-mode -1)
;; End:

See the Emacs manual, node `Font Lock'.

I want to disable font-lock-mode using Local Variables, and the obvious way does not work.

- Enda

FWIW, what you tried works for me, in Emacs 24.1.  What is your Emacs version?

Try also this (same as what you tried, except for the major-mode part):

;; Local Variables:
;; mode: lisp
;; eval: (font-lock-mode -1)
;; End:

See (emacs) `Specifying File Variables'.

But neither form seems to work in Emacs 22.3 or 23.3.  Perhaps someone else has
a suggestion.
