Re: Same coloring as GNU Emacs not possible due to fewer face types
Hi Jeff,
The latex function
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,parskip,DIV8]{scrartcl}
should fontify with \documentclass in the keyword-face, the options in
variable-name-face and the {text} in function-name-face.
I hope you enjoyed Christmas. In the meantime, if you remember the issue
about options not being highlighted in LaTeX mode, I had time to test your
function
(defun describe-face-at-point (&optional point)
"Return face used at point."
(interactive)
(let ((face (get-char-property (or point (point)) 'face)))
(if (listp face)
(progn
(message (format "Full value: %s" (prin1-to-string face)))
(setq face (car face))))
(hyper-describe-face face)))
For keywords, such as "documentclass" or "usepackage", it correctly
prints
out the face name, although there is a strange warning that I cannot exactly
interpret.
`font-lock-keyword-face' (buffer: thomasevangelium.ltx, mode: LaTeX)
Variable:
value: font-lock-keyword-face
This variable should not be set.
It is present only for horrid FSF compatibility reasons.
The corresponding face should be set using `edit-faces' or the
`set-face-*' functions.
Now, when marking e.g. "a4paper", where it should print
"variable-name-face", the result is "Sorry, nothing to describe". I
have no
clue, why.
And, when marking "scrartcl", where it should be "function-name-face",
the
result ist also "Sorry, nothing to describe".
Are we now closer to the solution? Is there anything I can do about this?
