  24 ;;; Commentary:
  25 ;;
  26 ;;  With the hi-lock commands text matching interactively entered
  27 ;;  regexp's can be highlighted.  For example, `M-x highlight-regexp
  28 ;;  RET clearly RET RET' will highlight all occurrences of `clearly'
  29 ;;  using a yellow background face.  New occurrences of `clearly' will
  30 ;;  be highlighted as they are typed.  `M-x unhighlight-regexp RET'
  31 ;;  will remove the highlighting.  Any existing face can be used for
  32 ;;  highlighting and a set of appropriate faces is provided.  The
  33 ;;  regexps can be written into the current buffer in a form that will
  34 ;;  be recognized the next time the corresponding file is read (when
  35 ;;  file patterns is turned on).
  36 ;;
  37 ;;  Applications:
  38 ;;
  39 ;;    In program source code highlight a variable to quickly see all
  40 ;;    places it is modified or referenced:
  41 ;;    M-x highlight-regexp ground_contact_switches_closed RET RET
  42 ;;
  43 ;;    In a shell or other buffer that is showing lots of program
  44 ;;    output, highlight the parts of the output you're interested in:
  45 ;;    M-x highlight-regexp Total execution time [0-9]+ RET hi-blue-b RET
  46 ;;
  47 ;;    In buffers displaying tables, highlight the lines you're interested in:
  48 ;;    M-x highlight-lines-matching-regexp January 2000 RET hi-black-b RET
  49 ;;
  50 ;;    When writing text, highlight personal cliches.  This can be
  51 ;;    amusing.
  52 ;;    M-x highlight-phrase as can be seen RET RET
  53 ;;
  54 ;;  Setup:
  55 ;;
  56 ;;    Put the following code in your .emacs file.  This turns on
  57 ;;    hi-lock mode and adds a "Regexp Highlighting" entry
  58 ;;    to the edit menu.
  59 ;;
  60 ;;    (global-hi-lock-mode 1)
  61 ;;
  62 ;;    To enable the use of patterns found in files (presumably placed
  63 ;;    there by hi-lock) include the following in your .emacs file:
  64 ;;
  65 ;;    (setq hi-lock-file-patterns-policy 'ask)
  66 ;;
  67 ;;    If you get tired of being asked each time a file is loaded replace
  68 ;;    `ask' with a function that returns t if patterns should be read.
  69 ;;
  70 ;;    You might also want to bind the hi-lock commands to more
  71 ;;    finger-friendly sequences:
  72
  73 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-z\C-h" 'highlight-lines-matching-regexp)
  74 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zi" 'hi-lock-find-patterns)
  75 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zh" 'highlight-regexp)
  76 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zp" 'highlight-phrase)
  77 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zr" 'unhighlight-regexp)
  78 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zb" 'hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns))
  79
  80 ;;    See the documentation for hi-lock-mode `C-h f hi-lock-mode' for
  81 ;;    additional instructions.

 288 If ARG positive, turn hi-lock on.  Issuing a hi-lock command will also
 289 turn hi-lock on.  To turn hi-lock on in all buffers use
 290 `global-hi-lock-mode' or in your .emacs file (global-hi-lock-mode 1).
 291 When hi-lock is turned on, a \"Regexp Highlighting\" submenu is added
 292 to the \"Edit\" menu.  The commands in the submenu, which can be
 293 called interactively, are:
 294
 295 \\[highlight-regexp] REGEXP FACE
 296   Highlight matches of pattern REGEXP in current buffer with FACE.
 297
 298 \\[highlight-phrase] PHRASE FACE
 299   Highlight matches of phrase PHRASE in current buffer with FACE.
 300   (PHRASE can be any REGEXP, but spaces will be replaced by matches
 301   to whitespace and initial lower-case letters will become case insensitive.)
 302
 303 \\[highlight-lines-matching-regexp] REGEXP FACE
 304   Highlight lines containing matches of REGEXP in current buffer with FACE.
 305
 306 \\[unhighlight-regexp] REGEXP
 307   Remove highlighting on matches of REGEXP in current buffer.
 308
 309 \\[hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns]
 310   Write active REGEXPs into buffer as comments (if possible).  They may
 311   be read the next time file is loaded or when the \\[hi-lock-find-patterns] command
 312   is issued.  The inserted regexps are in the form of font lock keywords.
 313   (See `font-lock-keywords'.)  They may be edited and re-loaded with \\[hi-lock-find-patterns],
 314   any valid `font-lock-keywords' form is acceptable.  When a file is
 315   loaded the patterns are read if `hi-lock-file-patterns-policy' is
 316   'ask and the user responds y to the prompt, or if
 317   `hi-lock-file-patterns-policy' is bound to a function and that
 318   function returns t.
 319
 320 \\[hi-lock-find-patterns]
 321   Re-read patterns stored in buffer (in the format produced by \\[hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns]).
 322
 323 When hi-lock is started and if the mode is not excluded or patterns
 324 rejected, the beginning of the buffer is searched for lines of the
 325 form:
 326   Hi-lock: FOO
 327 where FOO is a list of patterns.  These are added to the font lock
 328 keywords already present.  The patterns must start before position
 329 \(number of characters into buffer) `hi-lock-file-patterns-range'.
 330 Patterns will be read until
 331  Hi-lock: end
