Hm, that would depend on what is being run. I see what you mean: Since everything can be modified, there is no way to know if something runs in between and what that might be. >> One thing I haven=C2=B4t been able to figure out is how hi-lock.el decid= es >> what the lines it writes to the buffer are prepended with.

I usually search for what I have written when doing things like that. Anyway, all the documentation I found says that "\s<" in a regex is supposed to match a comment starter. That doesn=C2=B4t seem to work at all, and I ended up with (concat "^" comment-start lsl-hi-lock-patterns-end-marker). where (concat "^\\s<" lsl-hi-lock-patterns-end-marker) supposedly works but doesn=C2=B4t. Is that a bug? --=20 Knowledge is volatile and fluid. Software is power.
