The design of syntax tables implies that a single syntax table controls an entire buffer in a single style. mmm-mode attempts to get around this by "dynamically" switching syntax tables as the point moves through various areas of a buffer. One very noticable side effect involves the fact that when you set up the syntax table for a particular sub-buffer, it changes the entire buffer view. Until someone comes up with a way to regionalize syntax tables, you just have to live with the "bleeding" of syntax table-based font-locks between buffer regions. /Joe
