Subject: Multi-line font-lock parser
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 22:19:14 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87tz0fwk7h.fsf@iki.fi> (raw)

I'd like to write font-lock code which highlights the first line that
(1) is non-empty and (2) does not start with a "#" comment character.
This requires some multi-line parsing so plain regular expressions won't
suffice.

I'm too stupid to understand how to implement this kind of parsing. I
can write a code which finds such a line but I don't know how to
integrate it to font-lock. I don't understand the (info "(elisp) Font
Lock Multiline") manual either. So I'd _really_ appreciate if someone
posted an example code here.
