I initially used font-lock-variable-name-face because it seemed vaguely related, but after a short while I came to understand it just wasn't right and changed it to bold (that's what I'd prefer, as a default), and then to italics per RMS' suggestion. > [Though, FWIW, I think that changes in _brightness_ are generally less > intrusive than changes in _hue_, especially if they're subtle.] Sure, I agree on this one too. The only problem (in this case) is finding the right highlight, subtle but not invisible (or perhaps in this case non-visible is just the right default, I don't know). Juanma
