* comment delimiter in syntax table @ 2003-06-04 13:35 carlos.conde 2003-06-04 16:10 ` Stefan Monnier 0 siblings, 1 reply; 4+ messages in thread From: carlos.conde @ 2003-06-04 13:35 UTC (permalink / raw) Hi all, I'm writing a major mode for a script language and I need to declare in the syntax table the comment delimiters. However, these comment delimiters are 4 character long: "<*--" to start comment, "--*>" to end comment, and it seems that syntax table only accepts 2 char long comment delimiters (like "/*" and "*/"). If I use font-lock methods, I can't have multi line comment hilighting... Is there a way to declare longer comment delimiters in the syntax table ?? thanks. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

No. The best solution right now is to use font-lock-syntactic-keywords: (defvar foo-font-lock-syntactic-keywords '(("\\(<\\)\\*--" (1 "<")) ("--\\*\\(>\\)" (1 ">")))) -- Stefan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
