Re: Problem in XEmacs - Font lock related

Phanender> Hi All, Phanender> I have written a 'soapp.el' file to derive a major Phanender> mode. In my mode every Phanender> keyword starts with $. For example '$run'.

How to highlight a Phanender> character? Hello Phanender, see http://cvs.xemacs.org/viewcvs.cgi/XEmacs/packages/xemacs-packages/prog-mo... which has this: (setq verilog-font-lock-keywords (list ;; Fontify all builtin keywords (concat "\\<\\(" verilog-font-keywords "\\|" ;; And user/system tasks and functions "\\$[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_\\$]*" "\\)\\>") ;; Fontify all types (cons (concat "\\<\\(" verilog-type-font-keywords "\\)\\>") 'font-lock-type-face) )) As you can see here, $ needs to be escaped of its special meaning in regular expressions (matching end of line). Use C-x C-e (eval-last-sexp) after the following line: (Info-goto-node "(xemacs)Regexps") For the whole list of XEmacs package sources, see http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/packages.html Good Luck, Adrian Phanender> Also, in my '.runin' file a comment starts with keyword Phanender> comment. I need to highlight this. If I am providing Phanender> the word directly in my keywords list, its not getting Phanender> highlighted. Phanender> Can you please provide me help in this regard? -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/
