T= his can be very useful beyond its intended use (highlighting function and v= ariable names). =20 For instance, I can use this to highlight the first comment with a differen= t colour from the rest of the comments.=20 But this special highlighting only works for function and variables names w= ithout spaces. =20 So I cannot do the following to get 'A Remark here' highlighted in a differ= ent colour. ;; 'A Remark here' =20 ;; Some comment here ;; Another comment here ;; You are a hero Can the use of '' be extended so I can use the highlighting more generally = as described. Or perhaps have an additional highlighting for more general = things, separate from function and variable names.
