Hi all, set out to fix a bug occuring in all Emacsen, reported at http://tracker.xemacs.org/XEmacs/its/issue232 I wrote an alternative comment.el, as announced already. It's designed to be more simple. The bug of `indent-new-comment-line' should be gone with the following: (global-set-key [(meta j)] 'comment-indent-new-line-lor) After evaluating both files, M-x `comment-all-test-lor' will let you watch some tests with dummy textes. Comment.el should not disturb newcomment.el; it's suffix `-lor' means `line-or-region': - If no active region exists, it operates from current line. Other main diffs to newcomment.el are: - Styles will not be chosen by customization, but called with respective functions. Thus you may insert indented, plain, boxed or multiline comments without hesitation. - If a style offers more than one comment end-start-set, as "//" or "/* */" in C, it's up to the mode to deliver the callers, which have to set starts and ends. (That remains to do in the modes.) - No use of syntax-tables. - Deliberate limited use of regexps. - Check if a comment-char is found inside a string no longer relies on fontifying. Suggestions welcome. Andreas Röhler _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
