Re: Invalid syntax designator

You can put syntax-table text properties with this value on a pair of buffer positions, and this will syntactically turn everything between them into a comment. CC Mode uses these in GNU Emacs to "comment out" C preprocessor directives (e.g. #define) to speed up certain syntactic analysis. (It also needs the category property for this). "|" _is_ a syntactic designator in XEmacs, just as in GNU Emacs. AWK Mode has used generic string dellimiters to mark unterminated strings for over a decade. ;-) -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
