  23 ;;; Commentary:
  24 ;;
  25 ;;  With the hi-lock commands text matching interactively entered
  26 ;;  regexp's can be highlighted.  For example, `M-x highlight-regexp
  27 ;;  RET clearly RET RET' will highlight all occurrences of `clearly'
  28 ;;  using a yellow background face.  New occurrences of `clearly' will
  29 ;;  be highlighted as they are typed.  `M-x unhighlight-regexp RET'
  30 ;;  will remove the highlighting.  Any existing face can be used for
  31 ;;  highlighting and a set of appropriate faces is provided.  The
  32 ;;  regexps can be written into the current buffer in a form that will
  33 ;;  be recognized the next time the corresponding file is read (when
  34 ;;  file patterns is turned on).
  35 ;;
  36 ;;  Applications:
  37 ;;
  38 ;;    In program source code highlight a variable to quickly see all
  39 ;;    places it is modified or referenced:
  40 ;;    M-x highlight-regexp RET ground_contact_switches_closed RET RET
  41 ;;
  42 ;;    In a shell or other buffer that is showing lots of program
  43 ;;    output, highlight the parts of the output you're interested in:
  44 ;;    M-x highlight-regexp RET Total execution time [0-9]+ RET hi-blue-b RET
  45 ;;
  46 ;;    In buffers displaying tables, highlight the lines you're interested in:
  47 ;;    M-x highlight-lines-matching-regexp RET January 2000 RET hi-black-b RET
  48 ;;
  49 ;;    When writing text, highlight personal cliches.  This can be
  50 ;;    amusing.
  51 ;;    M-x highlight-phrase RET as can be seen RET RET
  52 ;;
  53 ;;  Setup:
  54 ;;
  55 ;;    Put the following code in your init file.  This turns on
  56 ;;    hi-lock mode and adds a "Regexp Highlighting" entry
  57 ;;    to the edit menu.
  58 ;;
  59 ;;    (global-hi-lock-mode 1)
  60 ;;
  61 ;;    To enable the use of patterns found in files (presumably placed
  62 ;;    there by hi-lock) include the following in your init file:
  63 ;;
  64 ;;    (setq hi-lock-file-patterns-policy 'ask)
  65 ;;
  66 ;;    If you get tired of being asked each time a file is loaded replace
  67 ;;    `ask' with a function that returns t if patterns should be read.
  68 ;;
  69 ;;    You might also want to bind the hi-lock commands to more
  70 ;;    finger-friendly sequences:
  71
  72 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-z\C-h" 'highlight-lines-matching-regexp)
  73 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zi" 'hi-lock-find-patterns)
  74 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zh" 'highlight-regexp)
  75 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zp" 'highlight-phrase)
  76 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zr" 'unhighlight-regexp)
  77 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zb" 'hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns))
  78
  79 ;;    See the documentation for hi-lock-mode `C-h f hi-lock-mode' for
  80 ;;    additional instructions.
  81
  82 ;; Sample file patterns:
  83
  84 ; Hi-lock: (("^;;; .*" (0 (quote hi-black-hb) t)))
  85 ; Hi-lock: ( ("make-variable-buffer-\\(local\\)" (0 font-lock-keyword-face)(1 'italic append)))))

 291   "Toggle selective highlighting of patterns (Hi Lock mode).
 292 With a prefix argument ARG, enable Hi Lock mode if ARG is
 293 positive, and disable it otherwise.  If called from Lisp, enable
 294 the mode if ARG is omitted or nil.
 295
 296 Hi Lock mode is automatically enabled when you invoke any of the
 297 highlighting commands listed below, such as \\[highlight-regexp].
 298 To enable Hi Lock mode in all buffers, use `global-hi-lock-mode'
 299 or add (global-hi-lock-mode 1) to your init file.
 300
 301 In buffers where Font Lock mode is enabled, patterns are
 302 highlighted using font lock.  In buffers where Font Lock mode is
 303 disabled, patterns are applied using overlays; in this case, the
 304 highlighting will not be updated as you type.
 305
 306 When Hi Lock mode is enabled, a \"Regexp Highlighting\" submenu
 307 is added to the \"Edit\" menu.  The commands in the submenu,
 308 which can be called interactively, are:
 309
 310 \\[highlight-regexp] REGEXP FACE
 311   Highlight matches of pattern REGEXP in current buffer with FACE.
 312
 313 \\[highlight-phrase] PHRASE FACE
 314   Highlight matches of phrase PHRASE in current buffer with FACE.
 315   (PHRASE can be any REGEXP, but spaces will be replaced by matches
 316   to whitespace and initial lower-case letters will become case insensitive.)
 317
 318 \\[highlight-lines-matching-regexp] REGEXP FACE
 319   Highlight lines containing matches of REGEXP in current buffer with FACE.
 320
 321 \\[highlight-symbol-at-point]
 322   Highlight the symbol found near point without prompting, using the next
 323   available face automatically.
 324
 325 \\[unhighlight-regexp] REGEXP
 326   Remove highlighting on matches of REGEXP in current buffer.
 327
 328 \\[hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns]
 329   Write active REGEXPs into buffer as comments (if possible).  They may
 330   be read the next time file is loaded or when the \\[hi-lock-find-patterns] command
 331   is issued.  The inserted regexps are in the form of font lock keywords.
 332   (See `font-lock-keywords'.)  They may be edited and re-loaded with \\[hi-lock-find-patterns],
 333   any valid `font-lock-keywords' form is acceptable.  When a file is
 334   loaded the patterns are read if `hi-lock-file-patterns-policy' is
 335   'ask and the user responds y to the prompt, or if
 336   `hi-lock-file-patterns-policy' is bound to a function and that
 337   function returns t.
 338
 339 \\[hi-lock-find-patterns]
 340   Re-read patterns stored in buffer (in the format produced by \\[hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns]).
 341
 342 When hi-lock is started and if the mode is not excluded or patterns
 343 rejected, the beginning of the buffer is searched for lines of the
 344 form:
 345   Hi-lock: FOO
 346
 347 where FOO is a list of patterns.  The patterns must start before
 348 position \(number of characters into buffer)
 349 `hi-lock-file-patterns-range'.  Patterns will be read until
 350 Hi-lock: end is found.  A mode is excluded if it's in the list
 351 `hi-lock-exclude-modes'."
