Fontify text between quotes?

Fontify text between quotes?

Hi all,

I'd like to add a function that changes the face of any text in quotation
marks. I looked a bit into adapting the existing org code for emphasis, but
got bogged down. I'd like "text like this" to use the org-block face.

Any help pointing me in the right direction on this would be much
appreciated!

Hello,

You can in principle tap directly into font lock-mode.
For instance something like

 (add-hook 'org-mode-hook
	   (lambda ()
	     (font-lock-add-keywords nil
				     '(("\\<\\(FIXME\\):" 1 'font-lock-warning-face prepend)
				       ("\\<\\(and\\|or\\|not\\)\\>" .
					'font-lock-keyword-face)))))




would fontify [FIXME:], [and] [or] ,and [not], without the [], in org-mode, See the
doc of font-lock-add-keywords (just stole the code above from it)

I could not achieve what you want though. Don't have enough time and energy
to think about it now, and I'm very bad with regex. :-). But in
principle it should do the job,

Hope this helps,

Jeremie

Ahah! Thanks for the tip!

Added the following to my init:

;; use org-block face in verse/quote blocks
(setq org-fontify-quote-and-verse-blocks t)

;; use org-block for smart-quoted text
(defun my-org-smart-quote-fontify ()
  "Use org-block face for text between smart quotes."
  (font-lock-add-keywords nil
                          '(("“\\(.*?\\)”" . 'org-block))))
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'my-org-smart-quote-fontify)
;; (remove-hook 'org-mode-hook 'my-org-smart-quote-fontify)

It doesn't work across newlines, but that's alright for now.

You might want to replace the .* with [^"]* to avoid cases where you
have two or more quoted bits of text in a single line leading to
fontification of all the text between the first " and the last ".
