Right, syntax-propertization is done lazily, so if nothing calls syntax-propertize, then that's that. Usually the main triggers for syntax-propertize are syntax-ppss and font-lock, but neither is likely to be used in text-mode. So you'll probably need to arrange for font-lock to be enabled *and* for font-lock-keywords-only not to be set to t. > but then again, not in message mode, for instance. Probably because font-lock-keywords-only is set to t, so font-lock doesn't end up calling syntax-ppss. Stefan
