parse-partial-sexp, what does it use?

[Lennart Borgman (gmail)]

I am getting different results from parse-partial-sexp in two similar 
cases where I have tried to setup everything so that it should give the 
same result.

In both cases I believe I have the same arguments to parse-partial-sexp 
and this is t:

    (and (equal (syntax-table) html-mode-syntax-table)
         (equal (nth 1 font-lock-syntactic-keywords)
                sgml-font-lock-syntactic-keywords))

and

   multibyte-syntax-as-symbol=nil
   parse-sexp-ignore-comments=nil
   parse-sexp-lookup-properties=t

I guess I am missing something, but what?

`syntax-table' text properties in the buffer, set by
font-lock-syntactic-keywords?
I expect the problem is with the use of `syntax-ppss' in
html-font-lock-syntactic-keywords.

Thanks, it helped to clear things out. (I had made a too ambitous 
redefinition of the syntax-begin-function.)
