"Several people" is just one that I have seen, and he is wrong. Whether the error "is" a missing \ or a missing " (for whatever value of "is"), the purpose of the fontification is to draw attention to this error. This error is at the EOL where there is a missing " or \. In that sense CC Mode's fontification of it is correct. > So it would be less adversarial for you to write "the fontification I'm > looking for" or something like that. I'm faced with an "opponent" who snipped my careful argument without appearing to have read it, and who is unprepared to counter it on its merits, yet insists it is wrong. How can you expect me to be other than adversarial when faced with such an attitude? > Stefan -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
