emacs latex mode, color highlighting only

emacs latex mode, color highlighting only

[Marco Grazzi]

Dear Emacs users,

I recently switched from Xemacs to Emacs.

On Xemacs, it was possible to get color only highlighting (no font),
for instance with the mouse
Options -> Syntax highlighting -> (selecting color only, and not font)

So far I could only enable/disable the fonts&color highlighting jointly,
with M-x font-lock-mode or global-font-lock-mode

I would really like to have color only highlighting in Latex (for
rectangular pasting it is pretty useful not have the characters
changing size).

Is it possible? Also through customization of the .emacs would much useful

thank you in advance,


marco

Yes, it is possible, but only through face customization.

Type "M-x list-faces-display RET".  Emacs will show the faces it knows
about.  (If you want to customize faces used by a certain mode, be
sure to visit at least one file that triggers that mode.)  Each face
has a clickable link that will show a customization buffer, where you
can reset the font to the default one and leave the rest.  Then save
the customizations for future sessions and restart Emacs.

Many thanks.

Are there some lines of code that do the same and which I can add to .emacs
for permanent configuration?

When you save the customization for future session, Emacs will add the
necessary Lisp code to your .emacs.
