I don't know about the missing colon, but

  -- User Option: case-fold-search
      This buffer-local variable determines whether searches should
      ignore case.  If the variable is `nil' they do not ignore case;
      otherwise they do ignore case.

hence

 >           (skip-chars-forward " \t")

does not look for the exact string.

I've got the following at the end of the current buffer (an html file,
if that matters):

<!--
Local variables:
html-helper-timestamp-end: "hhmts end -->"
html-helper-timestamp-start: "<!-- hhmts start"
End:
-->

I load the file (once by reloading emacs, other times by C-x C-v).  Then
I do "C-h v html-helper-timestamp-start" and it gives me:

-----------------------------------------------------
html-helper-timestamp-start's value is
"<!-- hhmts start -->"

Documentation:
*Start delimiter for timestamps.
Everything between `html-helper-timestamp-start' and
....
-----------------------------------------------------

What's the bogusity?


tnx,
ken
