The trouble is I have to then format things in colour :) Anyway here is basically what the problem is: I have the following code say: ----------- .. #| ;; blah blah ;; blah blah (eval-when (load compile eval) (defun make-fortran-name (name) ... |# --------------- Everything within #|..|# should be in the coloured as a comment, but in this particular case everything after (eval-when..) parts is coloured like un-commented lisp code. I can attach the source file if you like. But this happens, as I have observed, when there are strings inside the comment block. I don't know enough elisp (and not frustrated enough) to go through the lisp-mode code (yet). Thanks, Akshay P.S: Using color in HTML: #| ;; blah blah ;; blah blah (eval-when (load compile eval) (defun make-fortran-name (name) ... |# instead of #| ;; blah blah ;; blah "blah" ;; (eval-when (load compile eval) (defun make-fortran-name (name) ... |#
