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?

You can learn more about this in the comment section of the file hi-lock.el. -- Christian Schlauer ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I've noticed the documentation of this in CVS Emacs is greatly improved over prior versions. Better explainations and more examples. If it still doesn't make sense, try asking a question about a specific argument or function that isn't clear. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
