184 When Just-in-time Lock mode is enabled, fontification is different in the
185 following ways:
187 - Demand-driven buffer fontification triggered by Emacs C code.
188 This means initial fontification of the whole buffer does not occur.
189 Instead, fontification occurs when necessary, such as when scrolling
190 through the buffer would otherwise reveal unfontified areas. This is
191 useful if buffer fontification is too slow for large buffers.
193 - Stealthy buffer fontification if `jit-lock-stealth-time' is non-nil.
194 This means remaining unfontified areas of buffers are fontified if Emacs has
195 been idle for `jit-lock-stealth-time' seconds, while Emacs remains idle.
196 This is useful if any buffer has any deferred fontification.
198 - Deferred context fontification if `jit-lock-contextually' is
199 non-nil. This means fontification updates the buffer corresponding to
200 true syntactic context, after `jit-lock-context-time' seconds of Emacs
201 idle time, while Emacs remains idle. Otherwise, fontification occurs
202 on modified lines only, and subsequent lines can remain fontified
203 corresponding to previous syntactic contexts. This is useful where
204 strings or comments span lines.
206 Stealth fontification only occurs while the system remains unloaded.
207 If the system load rises above `jit-lock-stealth-load' percent, stealth
208 fontification is suspended. Stealth fontification intensity is controlled via
209 the variable `jit-lock-stealth-nice'."
