Subject: Macro used for dynamic setting of font-lock-keywords
Date: Fri, 25 May 2007 20:24:45 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <874pm0x1cy.fsf@moley.org> (raw)
Hi all,
This works:
(defun foo (word)
(display-buffer (set-buffer (get-buffer-create "*bar*")))
(insert (format "baz\n"))
(unless (fboundp 'foo-dynamic-add-keyword) ;only define it once
(defmacro foo-dynamic-add-keyword ()
`(font-lock-add-keywords nil '((,word . font-lock-warning-face)) 'set)))
(foo-dynamic-add-keyword) ;call the macro
(font-lock-mode 1))
(foo "baz")
in that the string argument to foo is added to the buffer's
font-lock-keywords and the string is highlighted wherever it occurs,
but it seems like something of a kludge to me.
Just out of interest really, is there a better way of passing the
value of a variable as an argument to the function
font-lock-add-keywords?
Sebastian
