Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2020 11:55:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAAhfW2yq3CRG6eG-wad+K1Q-OUy-b1r+qXNPAhN3ooy7bJHgkw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <838silb25p.fsf@gnu.org>
I see. I think the documentation is unclear as to which parenthesis is
meant. After all, `(paren)` in the following text
Some text (paren) some other text.
would not be highlighted if the point is in beginning (or end) of the
line even though this location meets the definition of the "line's
periphery" as defined in the documentation.
Based on this case, I would expect the consistent behaviour (to my
mind) that the text
some other text (paren)
would highlight `(paren)` only if the point is at the end of the line,
not the beginning. This would also be consistent with the following
case
(paren1) some other text (paren2)
where, correctly, (paren1) is highlighted if the point is in the
beginning of the line and (paren2) is highlighted if the point is in
the end of the line.
