Yup, that one was marked obsolete in Emacs-22. > Can you tell me why jit-lock-mode does not appear in the list of minor > modes? Because, even though it started as a minor-mode (like lazy-lock), it's not a minor mode any more. It's a library that can optionally be used by font-lock and by other packages (nlinum.el, nhexl.el, and glasses-mode). > I took a look at syntax-ppss and parse-partial-sexp documentation. > It says it parses *Lisp* syntax. > Is it a bug in the documentation? Yes and no: it doesn't know how to parse languages with a syntax more complex than Lisp's, but it does know how to parse most language's comments, parentheses, and strings. Stefan
