Configuring eager (ie. less-lazy) faces in psgml?

Configuring eager (ie. less-lazy) faces in psgml?

[John J. Lee]

I find psgml's syntax colouring behaviour on my machine irritating: it
(or perhaps the emacs code it depends on) lazily colours documents,
and I don't understand the algorithm used to decide when to do the
work of colouring a region.  I frequently find myself with in a big
region of uncoloured text, with no means of requesting that it go
ahead and do the colouring work.

I want to configure psgml to be less lazy about colouring text, or at
least find some equivalent of font-lock-fontify-buffer to force
colouring of the entire buffer.  (I'm hazy about all this, but IIUC
psgml does not use font-lock, which explains why
font-lock-fontify-buffer doesn't work.)

Can anybody suggest any ways of doing that?

Thanks in advance for any help

I have this:

(cond ((fboundp 'global-font-lock-mode)
    ;; Turn on font-lock in all modes that support it
    (setq global-font-lock-mode t)
;   (setq jit-lock-mode t)
    ;; Maximum colors
    (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)))

The lazy mode is being discouraged AFAIR ... or was it jit-lock-mode?

I already have font-lock turned on globally, and maximum decoration turned on too.

Like I said, I *think* (I'm shamefully ignorant of how emacs actually
works, I just use it like black magic ;-) psgml does not use
font-lock, which would explain why that doesn't have the desired effect here.

AFAIK this has always been the default value, so this setting has always
been completely useless.  Given this, I keep wondering why this setting
shows up so often on this newsgroup.

I believe you're right.

It was nil in Emacs 19.
