Xah> Very annoying. Xah> Is there anyway to make it not syntax color the region of text Xah> where the quote becomes odd? I also often face this problem. I don't know much of how to make a syntax highlighting mode for emacs, but AFAIU fontlock only works on current line. For that reason, modes often re-implement their own search-forward based fontlock system for quoted strings. I guess the major mode should be fixed to detect what is a quote for quoting string and what is not. On Wed, 3 Dec 2008 18:58:10 -0800 (PST), Xah Lee said: Xah>
