syntax highlighting with javascript-mode.el and hilit19.el

syntax highlighting with javascript-mode.el and hilit19.el

[Bob Smith]

Dear all
I have the hilit19 lisp package, and also a package for text coloring 
and indentation for javascript ( javascript-mode.el).

Now in the javascript package there is a couple of lines along with:

(if (featurep 'hilit19)
   (hilit-set-mode-patterns
    'javascript-mode


...which follows many lines of keywords.

The problem is that hilit19 is not found by the script. How can I make 
it find the hilit19.elc, and what does the featurep actually do?
thank's in advance

Is hilit19 in your load-path?

I put it in /usr/share/emacs/20.5/lisp
so I think so, should it be there or some other place?
should I exlicitly load it in the .emacs file?

okey now I understand the load-path, yes I checked it is there, but 
still doesn't work
any clues?

Of course you do: it comes bundled with your Emacs.
(although since Emacs-21, it is marked `obsolete').

Don't bother with hilit19:

- First try to do M-x font-lock-mode while in javascript-mode.

- If that did not work, look for a less ancient javascript-mode.el.

- If that still only has hilit19 support but no font-lock support,
  then look harder.

- If you really insist on using hilit19, then do (require 'hilit19)
  in your .emacs file somewhere before you activate javascript-mode.
