colour change in emacs 21.3

colour change in emacs 21.3

[Sylvan Elhay]

Hi

Is there a way to change the display colour of a latex formula or
comment or other fields in emacs 21.3? In emacs 19 I edited the
hilit-19.el file but can't find any comparable fix in 21.3.

I'd be grateful for any help.
Thanks
S

M-x customize-apropos-faces RET font-lock RET

for the most important faces.  Or M-x customize-face (to find out the
faces at point look at the output of C-u C-x =).

How about this? You open a LaTeX file and position the cursor on some  
colour you don't like or want to change. Then type C-u C-x = – a new  
window opens that also describes the properties of the word. By  
pressing RET on the underlined word you get a more detailed  
description that you can customise.


The use of colours is defined in lisp/textmodes/tex-mode.el – in GNU  
Emacs 22.

`M-x list-text-properties-at' in Emacs 21.

Thanks for the help.

M-x customize-apropos-faces RET font-lock RET

and

M-x customize-face

with point on a formula character returned "none."

Using C-u C-x = gave me just

   character: a (0141, 97, 0x61)
     charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
  code point: 97
      syntax: word
    category: a:ASCII   l:Latin 
buffer code: 0x61
   file code: 0x61 (encoded by coding system undecided-dos)
        font:
             -outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-80-iso8859-1

Does this tell me the face used? Apologies if this is naive - I'm new
to faces.

Thanks
Sylvan

No. Obviously in stable GNU Emacs 21.x C-u C-x = does not include  
information about faces used. A 22 version output looks like:

	  character: c (0143, 99, 0x63, U+0063)
	    charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
	 code point: 99
	     syntax: w 	which means: word
	   category: a:ASCII   l:Latin
	buffer code: 0x63
	  file code: 0x63 (encoded by coding system iso-latin-9-unix)
	    display: by this font (glyph code)
	     -B&H-LucidaTypewriter-Bold-R-Normal-Sans-10-100-75-75-M-60- 
ISO8859-1 (0x63)
	
	There are text properties here:
	  face                 [(font-latex-bold-face font-latex-sedate-face)]
	  fontified            t

You obviously need to use describe-text-properties or list-text- 
properties-at. The remainder procedure is the same: RET on the face  
description, then RET on the customise hyper-link, then  
customisation, saving for the session to experiment with it, optional  
changes and saves, finally saving it into ~/.emacs.
