159 When Just-in-time Lock mode is enabled, fontification is different in the
162 - Demand-driven buffer fontification triggered by Emacs C code.
163 This means initial fontification of the whole buffer does not occur.
164 Instead, fontification occurs when necessary, such as when scrolling
165 through the buffer would otherwise reveal unfontified areas. This is
166 useful if buffer fontification is too slow for large buffers.
168 - Stealthy buffer fontification if `jit-lock-stealth-time' is non-nil.
169 This means remaining unfontified areas of buffers are fontified if Emacs has
170 been idle for `jit-lock-stealth-time' seconds, while Emacs remains idle.
171 This is useful if any buffer has any deferred fontification.
173 - Deferred context fontification if `jit-lock-defer-contextually' is
174 non-nil. This means fontification updates the buffer corresponding to
175 true syntactic context, after `jit-lock-stealth-time' seconds of Emacs
176 idle time, while Emacs remains idle. Otherwise, fontification occurs
177 on modified lines only, and subsequent lines can remain fontified
178 corresponding to previous syntactic contexts. This is useful where
179 strings or comments span lines.
181 Stealth fontification only occurs while the system remains unloaded.
182 If the system load rises above `jit-lock-stealth-load' percent, stealth
183 fontification is suspended. Stealth fontification intensity is controlled via
184 the variable `jit-lock-stealth-nice'."
