27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; Font Lock mode is a minor mode that causes your comments to be displayed in
30 ;; one face, strings in another, reserved words in another, and so on.
31 ;;
32 ;; Comments will be displayed in `font-lock-comment-face'.
33 ;; Strings will be displayed in `font-lock-string-face'.
34 ;; Regexps are used to display selected patterns in other faces.
35 ;;
36 ;; To make the text you type be fontified, use M-x font-lock-mode RET.
37 ;; When this minor mode is on, the faces of the current line are updated with
38 ;; every insertion or deletion.
39 ;;
40 ;; To turn Font Lock mode on automatically, add this to your ~/.emacs file:
41 ;;
42 ;; (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
43 ;;
44 ;; Or if you want to turn Font Lock mode on in many modes:
45 ;;
46 ;; (global-font-lock-mode t)
47 ;;
48 ;; Fontification for a particular mode may be available in a number of levels
49 ;; of decoration. The higher the level, the more decoration, but the more time
50 ;; it takes to fontify. See the variable `font-lock-maximum-decoration', and
51 ;; also the variable `font-lock-maximum-size'. Support modes for Font Lock
52 ;; mode can be used to speed up Font Lock mode. See `font-lock-support-mode'.
53 \f
54 ;;; How Font Lock mode fontifies:
56 ;; When Font Lock mode is turned on in a buffer, it (a) fontifies the entire
57 ;; buffer and (b) installs one of its fontification functions on one of the
58 ;; hook variables that are run by Emacs after every buffer change (i.e., an
59 ;; insertion or deletion). Fontification means the replacement of `face' text
60 ;; properties in a given region; Emacs displays text with these `face' text
61 ;; properties appropriately.
62 ;;
63 ;; Fontification normally involves syntactic (i.e., strings and comments) and
64 ;; regexp (i.e., keywords and everything else) passes. There are actually
65 ;; three passes; (a) the syntactic keyword pass, (b) the syntactic pass and (c)
66 ;; the keyword pass. Confused?
67 ;;
68 ;; The syntactic keyword pass places `syntax-table' text properties in the
69 ;; buffer according to the variable `font-lock-syntactic-keywords'. It is
70 ;; necessary because Emacs' syntax table is not powerful enough to describe all
71 ;; the different syntactic constructs required by the sort of people who decide
72 ;; that a single quote can be syntactic or not depending on the time of day.
73 ;; (What sort of person could decide to overload the meaning of a quote?)
74 ;; Obviously the syntactic keyword pass must occur before the syntactic pass.
75 ;;
76 ;; The syntactic pass places `face' text properties in the buffer according to
77 ;; syntactic context, i.e., according to the buffer's syntax table and buffer
78 ;; text's `syntax-table' text properties. It involves using a syntax parsing
79 ;; function to determine the context of different parts of a region of text. A
80 ;; syntax parsing function is necessary because generally strings and/or
81 ;; comments can span lines, and so the context of a given region is not
82 ;; necessarily apparent from the content of that region. Because the keyword
83 ;; pass only works within a given region, it is not generally appropriate for
84 ;; syntactic fontification. This is the first fontification pass that makes
85 ;; changes visible to the user; it fontifies strings and comments.
86 ;;
87 ;; The keyword pass places `face' text properties in the buffer according to
88 ;; the variable `font-lock-keywords'. It involves searching for given regexps
89 ;; (or calling given search functions) within the given region. This is the
90 ;; second fontification pass that makes changes visible to the user; it
91 ;; fontifies language reserved words, etc.
92 ;;
93 ;; Oh, and the answer is, "Yes, obviously just about everything should be done
94 ;; in a single syntactic pass, but the only syntactic parser available
95 ;; understands only strings and comments." Perhaps one day someone will write
96 ;; some syntactic parsers for common languages and a son-of-font-lock.el could
97 ;; use them rather then relying so heavily on the keyword (regexp) pass.
99 ;;; How Font Lock mode supports modes or is supported by modes:
101 ;; Modes that support Font Lock mode do so by defining one or more variables
102 ;; whose values specify the fontification. Font Lock mode knows of these
103 ;; variable names from (a) the buffer local variable `font-lock-defaults', if
104 ;; non-nil, or (b) the global variable `font-lock-defaults-alist', if the major
105 ;; mode has an entry. (Font Lock mode is set up via (a) where a mode's
106 ;; patterns are distributed with the mode's package library, and (b) where a
107 ;; mode's patterns are distributed with font-lock.el itself. An example of (a)
108 ;; is Pascal mode, an example of (b) is Lisp mode. Normally, the mechanism is
109 ;; (a); (b) is used where it is not clear which package library should contain
110 ;; the pattern definitions.) Font Lock mode chooses which variable to use for
111 ;; fontification based on `font-lock-maximum-decoration'.
112 ;;
113 ;; Font Lock mode fontification behaviour can be modified in a number of ways.
114 ;; See the below comments and the comments distributed throughout this file.
116 ;;; Constructing patterns:
118 ;; See the documentation for the variable `font-lock-keywords'.
119 ;;
120 ;; Efficient regexps for use as MATCHERs for `font-lock-keywords' and
121 ;; `font-lock-syntactic-keywords' can be generated via the function
122 ;; `regexp-opt'.
124 ;;; Adding patterns for modes that already support Font Lock:
126 ;; Though Font Lock highlighting patterns already exist for many modes, it's
127 ;; likely there's something that you want fontified that currently isn't, even
128 ;; at the maximum fontification level. You can add highlighting patterns via
129 ;; `font-lock-add-keywords'. For example, say in some C
130 ;; header file you #define the token `and' to expand to `&&', etc., to make
131 ;; your C code almost readable. In your ~/.emacs there could be:
132 ;;
133 ;; (font-lock-add-keywords 'c-mode '("\\<\\(and\\|or\\|not\\)\\>"))
134 ;;
135 ;; Some modes provide specific ways to modify patterns based on the values of
136 ;; other variables. For example, additional C types can be specified via the
137 ;; variable `c-font-lock-extra-types'.
139 ;;; Adding patterns for modes that do not support Font Lock:
141 ;; Not all modes support Font Lock mode. If you (as a user of the mode) add
142 ;; patterns for a new mode, you must define in your ~/.emacs a variable or
143 ;; variables that specify regexp fontification. Then, you should indicate to
144 ;; Font Lock mode, via the mode hook setting `font-lock-defaults', exactly what
145 ;; support is required. For example, say Foo mode should have the following
146 ;; regexps fontified case-sensitively, and comments and strings should not be
147 ;; fontified automagically. In your ~/.emacs there could be:
148 ;;
149 ;; (defvar foo-font-lock-keywords
150 ;; '(("\\<\\(one\\|two\\|three\\)\\>" . font-lock-keyword-face)
151 ;; ("\\<\\(four\\|five\\|six\\)\\>" . font-lock-type-face))
152 ;; "Default expressions to highlight in Foo mode.")
153 ;;
154 ;; (add-hook 'foo-mode-hook
155 ;; (lambda ()
156 ;; (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults)
157 ;; (setq font-lock-defaults '(foo-font-lock-keywords t))))
159 ;;; Adding Font Lock support for modes:
161 ;; Of course, it would be better that the mode already supports Font Lock mode.
162 ;; The package author would do something similar to above. The mode must
163 ;; define at the top-level a variable or variables that specify regexp
164 ;; fontification. Then, the mode command should indicate to Font Lock mode,
165 ;; via `font-lock-defaults', exactly what support is required. For example,
166 ;; say Bar mode should have the following regexps fontified case-insensitively,
167 ;; and comments and strings should be fontified automagically. In bar.el there
168 ;; could be:
169 ;;
170 ;; (defvar bar-font-lock-keywords
171 ;; '(("\\<\\(uno\\|due\\|tre\\)\\>" . font-lock-keyword-face)
172 ;; ("\\<\\(quattro\\|cinque\\|sei\\)\\>" . font-lock-type-face))
173 ;; "Default expressions to highlight in Bar mode.")
174 ;;
175 ;; and within `bar-mode' there could be:
176 ;;
177 ;; (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults)
178 ;; (setq font-lock-defaults '(bar-font-lock-keywords nil t))
179 \f
180 ;; What is fontification for? You might say, "It's to make my code look nice."
181 ;; I think it should be for adding information in the form of cues. These cues
182 ;; should provide you with enough information to both (a) distinguish between
183 ;; different items, and (b) identify the item meanings, without having to read
184 ;; the items and think about it. Therefore, fontification allows you to think
185 ;; less about, say, the structure of code, and more about, say, why the code
186 ;; doesn't work. Or maybe it allows you to think less and drift off to sleep.
187 ;;
188 ;; So, here are my opinions/advice/guidelines:
189 ;;
190 ;; - Highlight conceptual objects, such as function and variable names, and
191 ;; different objects types differently, i.e., (a) and (b) above, highlight
192 ;; function names differently to variable names.
193 ;; - Keep the faces distinct from each other as far as possible.
194 ;; i.e., (a) above.
195 ;; - Use the same face for the same conceptual object, across all modes.
196 ;; i.e., (b) above, all modes that have items that can be thought of as, say,
197 ;; keywords, should be highlighted with the same face, etc.
198 ;; - Make the face attributes fit the concept as far as possible.
199 ;; i.e., function names might be a bold colour such as blue, comments might
200 ;; be a bright colour such as red, character strings might be brown, because,
201 ;; err, strings are brown (that was not the reason, please believe me).
202 ;; - Don't use a non-nil OVERRIDE unless you have a good reason.
203 ;; Only use OVERRIDE for special things that are easy to define, such as the
204 ;; way `...' quotes are treated in strings and comments in Emacs Lisp mode.
205 ;; Don't use it to, say, highlight keywords in commented out code or strings.
206 ;; - Err, that's it.
207 \f
208 ;;; Code:
212 ;; Define core `font-lock' group.
214 "Font Lock mode text highlighting package."
220 "Faces for highlighting text."
225 "Extra mode-specific type names for highlighting declarations."
228 ;; Define support mode groups here to impose `font-lock' group order.
230 "Font Lock support mode to cache fontification."
235 "Font Lock support mode to fontify lazily."
238 \f
239 ;; User variables.
242 "*Maximum size of a buffer for buffer fontification.
243 Only buffers less than this can be fontified when Font Lock mode is turned on.
244 If nil, means size is irrelevant.
245 If a list, each element should be a cons pair of the form (MAJOR-MODE . SIZE),
246 where MAJOR-MODE is a symbol or t (meaning the default). For example:
247 ((c-mode . 256000) (c++-mode . 256000) (rmail-mode . 1048576))
248 means that the maximum size is 250K for buffers in C or C++ modes, one megabyte
249 for buffers in Rmail mode, and size is irrelevant otherwise."
264 "*Maximum decoration level for fontification.
265 If nil, use the default decoration (typically the minimum available).
266 If t, use the maximum decoration available.
267 If a number, use that level of decoration (or if not available the maximum).
268 If a list, each element should be a cons pair of the form (MAJOR-MODE . LEVEL),
269 where MAJOR-MODE is a symbol or t (meaning the default). For example:
270 ((c-mode . t) (c++-mode . 2) (t . 1))
271 means use the maximum decoration available for buffers in C mode, level 2
272 decoration for buffers in C++ mode, and level 1 decoration otherwise."
289 "*If non-nil, means show status messages for buffer fontification.
290 If a number, only buffers greater than this size have fontification messages."
295 \f
297 ;; Originally these variable values were face names such as `bold' etc.
298 ;; Now we create our own faces, but we keep these variables for compatibility
299 ;; and they give users another mechanism for changing face appearance.
300 ;; We now allow a FACENAME in `font-lock-keywords' to be any expression that
301 ;; returns a face. So the easiest thing is to continue using these variables,
302 ;; rather than sometimes evaling FACENAME and sometimes not. sm.
339 ;; Fontification variables:
342 "A list of the keywords to highlight.
343 There are two kinds of values: user-level, and compiled.
345 A user-level keywords list is what a major mode or the user would
346 set up. Normally the list would come from `font-lock-defaults'.
347 through selection of a fontification level and evaluation of any
348 contained expressions. You can also alter it by calling
349 `font-lock-add-keywords' or `font-lock-remove-keywords' with MODE = nil.
351 Each element in a user-level keywords list should have one of these forms:
353 MATCHER
354 (MATCHER . MATCH)
355 (MATCHER . FACENAME)
356 (MATCHER . HIGHLIGHT)
357 (MATCHER HIGHLIGHT ...)
358 (eval . FORM)
360 where MATCHER can be either the regexp to search for, or the function name to
361 call to make the search (called with one argument, the limit of the search;
362 it should return non-nil, move point, and set `match-data' appropriately iff
363 it succeeds; like `re-search-forward' would).
364 MATCHER regexps can be generated via the function `regexp-opt'.
366 FORM is an expression, whose value should be a keyword element, evaluated when
367 the keyword is (first) used in a buffer. This feature can be used to provide a
368 keyword that can only be generated when Font Lock mode is actually turned on.
370 HIGHLIGHT should be either MATCH-HIGHLIGHT or MATCH-ANCHORED.
373 typically only MATCH-HIGHLIGHT is required.
374 However, if an item or (typically) items are to be highlighted following the
375 instance of another item (the anchor), for example each instance of the
378 MATCH-HIGHLIGHT should be of the form:
380 (MATCH FACENAME OVERRIDE LAXMATCH)
382 MATCH is the subexpression of MATCHER to be highlighted. FACENAME is an
383 expression whose value is the face name to use. Face default attributes
385 evaluate to a property list of the form (face VAL1 PROP2 VAL2 PROP3 VAL3 ...)
386 in which case all the listed text-properties will be set rather than
387 just `face'. In such a case, you will most likely want to put those
388 properties in `font-lock-extra-managed-props' or to override
389 `font-lock-unfontify-region-function'.
391 OVERRIDE and LAXMATCH are flags. If OVERRIDE is t, existing fontification can
392 be overwritten. If `keep', only parts not already fontified are highlighted.
393 If `prepend' or `append', existing fontification is merged with the new, in
394 which the new or existing fontification, respectively, takes precedence.
395 If LAXMATCH is non-nil, no error is signaled if there is no MATCH in MATCHER.
397 For example, an element of the form highlights (if not already highlighted):
400 variable `font-lock-keyword-face'.
402 the value of `font-lock-keyword-face'.
406 of `foo-bar-face', even if already highlighted.
407 (fubar-match 1 fubar-face)
408 the first subexpression within all occurrences of
409 whatever the function `fubar-match' finds and matches
410 in the value of `fubar-face'.
412 MATCH-ANCHORED should be of the form:
414 (MATCHER PRE-MATCH-FORM POST-MATCH-FORM MATCH-HIGHLIGHT ...)
416 where MATCHER is a regexp to search for or the function name to call to make
417 the search, as for MATCH-HIGHLIGHT above, but with one exception; see below.
418 PRE-MATCH-FORM and POST-MATCH-FORM are evaluated before the first, and after
419 the last, instance MATCH-ANCHORED's MATCHER is used. Therefore they can be
420 used to initialise before, and cleanup after, MATCHER is used. Typically,
421 PRE-MATCH-FORM is used to move to some position relative to the original
422 MATCHER, before starting with MATCH-ANCHORED's MATCHER. POST-MATCH-FORM might
423 be used to move, before resuming with MATCH-ANCHORED's parent's MATCHER.
425 For example, an element of the form highlights (if not already highlighted):
436 The above-mentioned exception is as follows. The limit of the MATCHER search
437 defaults to the end of the line after PRE-MATCH-FORM is evaluated.
438 However, if PRE-MATCH-FORM returns a position greater than the position after
439 PRE-MATCH-FORM is evaluated, that position is used as the limit of the search.
440 It is generally a bad idea to return a position greater than the end of the
441 line, i.e., cause the MATCHER search to span lines.
443 These regular expressions can match text which spans lines, although
444 it is better to avoid it if possible since updating them while editing
445 text is slower, and it is not guaranteed to be always correct when using
446 support modes like jit-lock or lazy-lock.
448 This variable is set by major modes via the variable `font-lock-defaults'.
449 Be careful when composing regexps for this list; a poorly written pattern can
450 dramatically slow things down!
452 A compiled keywords list starts with t. It is produced internal
453 by `font-lock-compile-keywords' from a user-level keywords list.
454 Its second element is the user-level keywords list that was
455 compiled. The remaining elements have the same form as
456 user-level keywords, but normally their values have been
460 "*Alist of `font-lock-keywords' local to a `major-mode'.
461 This is normally set via `font-lock-add-keywords' and
465 "*Alist of `font-lock-keywords' removed from `major-mode'.
466 This is normally set via `font-lock-add-keywords' and
470 "*Non-nil means Font Lock should not fontify comments or strings.
474 "*Non-nil means the patterns in `font-lock-keywords' are case-insensitive.
479 "Point up to which `font-lock-syntactic-keywords' has been applied.
480 If nil, this is ignored, in which case the syntactic fontification may
487 "Function to determine which face to use when fontifying syntactically.
488 The function is called with a single parameter (the state as returned by
489 `parse-partial-sexp' at the beginning of the region to highlight) and
493 "A list of the syntactic keywords to highlight.
494 Can be the list or the name of a function or variable whose value is the list.
495 See `font-lock-keywords' for a description of the form of this list;
496 the differences are listed below. MATCH-HIGHLIGHT should be of the form:
498 (MATCH SYNTAX OVERRIDE LAXMATCH)
500 where SYNTAX can be a string (as taken by `modify-syntax-entry'), a syntax
501 table, a cons cell (as returned by `string-to-syntax') or an expression whose
502 value is such a form. OVERRIDE cannot be `prepend' or `append'.
504 For example, an element of the form highlights syntactically:
508 a hash character when following a dollar character, with a SYNTAX of
510 specify hash characters to have comment start syntax, the element will only
511 highlight hash characters that do not follow dollar characters as comments
512 syntactically.
518 both single quotes which surround a single character, with a SYNTAX of
520 does not specify single quotes to have quote syntax, the element will only
521 highlight single quotes of the form 'c' as strings syntactically.
522 Other forms, such as foo'bar or 'fubar', will not be highlighted as strings.
527 "Non-nil means use this syntax table for fontifying.
528 If this is nil, the major mode's syntax table is used.
532 "*Non-nil means use this function to move back outside all constructs.
533 When called with no args it should move point backward to a place which
534 is not in a string or comment and not within any bracket-pairs (or else,
535 a place such that any bracket-pairs outside it can be ignored for Emacs
536 syntax analysis and fontification).
538 If this is nil, the beginning of the buffer is used, which is
539 always correct but tends to be slow.
540 This is normally set via `font-lock-defaults'.
541 This variable is semi-obsolete; we recommend setting
545 "*Non-nil means use this function to mark a block of text.
546 When called with no args it should leave point at the beginning of any

818 occurs. Known support modes are Fast Lock mode (symbol `fast-lock-mode'),
819 Lazy Lock mode (symbol `lazy-lock-mode'), and Just-in-time Lock mode (symbol

824 where MAJOR-MODE is a symbol or t (meaning the default). For example:
825 ((c-mode . fast-lock-mode) (c++-mode . fast-lock-mode) (t . lazy-lock-mode))
826 means that Fast Lock mode is used to support Font Lock mode for buffers in C or
827 C++ modes, and Lazy Lock mode is used to support Font Lock mode otherwise.

906 ;;; Fontification functions.
908 ;; Rather than the function, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region' containing the
909 ;; code to fontify a region, the function runs the function whose name is the
910 ;; value of the variable, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region-function'. Normally,
911 ;; the value of this variable is, e.g., `font-lock-default-fontify-region'
912 ;; which does contain the code to fontify a region. However, the value of the
913 ;; variable could be anything and thus, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region' could
914 ;; do anything. The indirection of the fontification functions gives major
915 ;; modes the capability of modifying the way font-lock.el fontifies. Major
916 ;; modes can modify the values of, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region-function',
917 ;; via the variable `font-lock-defaults'.
918 ;;
919 ;; For example, Rmail mode sets the variable `font-lock-defaults' so that
920 ;; font-lock.el uses its own function for buffer fontification. This function
921 ;; makes fontification be on a message-by-message basis and so visiting an
922 ;; RMAIL file is much faster. A clever implementation of the function might
923 ;; fontify the headers differently than the message body. (It should, and
924 ;; correspondingly for Mail mode, but I can't be bothered to do the work. Can
925 ;; you?) This hints at a more interesting use...
926 ;;
927 ;; Languages that contain text normally contained in different major modes
928 ;; could define their own fontification functions that treat text differently
929 ;; depending on its context. For example, Perl mode could arrange that here
930 ;; docs are fontified differently than Perl code. Or Yacc mode could fontify
931 ;; rules one way and C code another. Neat!
932 ;;
933 ;; A further reason to use the fontification indirection feature is when the
934 ;; default syntactual fontification, or the default fontification in general,
935 ;; is not flexible enough for a particular major mode. For example, perhaps
936 ;; comments are just too hairy for `font-lock-fontify-syntactically-region' to
937 ;; cope with. You need to write your own version of that function, e.g.,
938 ;; `hairy-fontify-syntactically-region', and make your own version of
939 ;; `hairy-fontify-region' call that function before calling
940 ;; `font-lock-fontify-keywords-region' for the normal regexp fontification
941 ;; pass. And Hairy mode would set `font-lock-defaults' so that font-lock.el
942 ;; would call your region fontification function instead of its own. For
943 ;; example, TeX modes could fontify {\foo ...} and \bar{...} etc. multi-line
944 ;; directives correctly and cleanly. (It is the same problem as fontifying
945 ;; multi-line strings and comments; regexps are not appropriate for the job.)

1843 Matches after point, but ignores leading whitespace and `*' characters.

1846 The expected syntax of a declaration/definition item is `word' (preceded by
1847 optional whitespace and `*' characters and proceeded by optional whitespace)
1848 optionally followed by a `('. Everything following the item (but belonging to
1849 it) is expected to be skip-able by `scan-sexps', and items are expected to be
1850 separated with a `,' and to be terminated with a `;'.
1852 Thus the regexp matches after point: word (

1856 The item is delimited by (match-beginning 1) and (match-end 1).
