Subject: Apply Emacs-Lisp `font-lock' rules to a string
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2015 05:19:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKu-7WxvsH=FU0M-OEvbuxsEn-T72A=Fou2_SQfX8HFLtsAXNw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Assume I have a string somewhere in Emacs-Lisp program. I want this
string to be propertized in such a way that when I display this string
somewhere, it should have identical highlighting as if it would have
been typed in Emacs-Lisp major mode (with `font-lock').
To expand on the problem, I have a string which contains regular
expression, which I display in the echo area. It would be nice to
apply standard highlighting to it. Is there any way to achieve this
smoothly (preferably with one or a few calls to built-in functions)?
Thanks.
Regards,
Alexander
