Subject: Syntax tables and multi-escape characters
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2009 22:02:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <877i3uqcdk.fsf@freebits.de> (raw)


At the moment `|' in lisp-mode has a string syntax-class (`"'). This
makes forward-sexp work on

  |foobar|

correctly. It, however, fails on

  foo|bar|,  or

  pkg:|funky-symbol|

because it mistakes the `|' to be the begin of a new token.


I'd like to fix this; and I'd do it by hacking src/syntax.{h,c} and
introducing a new syntax class for multi-escape characters.

Or would you prefer something else?

  -T.
