I've noticed the documentation of this in CVS Emacs is greatly improved over prior versions. Better explainations and more examples.

Hi.
I want get into syntax highlighting.
What I want to do is grey out all text that matches the regular
expression "{id:\d+}. Sounds pretty basic right? But the documentation
leaves me puzzled.
Anybody out got a simple example to get me started?
