Hi all,
I am new to Emacs internal. When read elisp document, I found *syntax
table* a bit hard to understand.
Info say: syntax table is used to determine sentence, word, etc. But why
not use regular expression instead? And why not use an language
parser(too difficult?)?
Honestly, I am not able to figure out the idea of syntax table
structure(I try to C-h v it, but it's too large to understand). How can
I get more information of it? Any suggestion are welcome:)
Regards,
Shenli
