-- Adrian Aichner <adrian(a)xemacs.org> spake thusly:
I think
C-h i g (xemacs)Syntax Entry
needs a patch.
It only lists:
` '
The class of whitespace characters.
Good catch.
even though `-' is supported also and has the benefit of being
compatible with Emacs, AFAIK.
How about this change, for which I could submit a patch:
`-'
The class of whitespace characters. Please don't use the
formerly advertised ` ', which is not supported by GNU Emacs.
Seems reasonable to me.
Matt> You can also do:
Matt> [ <tab>]
Right, interactively one has to type [ SPC C-q TAB ] even though when
written as a string in lisp it is generally preferable to use "[ \t]"
For isearch-*-regexp and query-replace-regexp, when entering stuff on
the modeline the C-q is unnecessary. But it's probably a good habit
nonetheless, particularly when explaining to others.
