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 init 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's 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 the buffer local variable `font-lock-defaults'.
104 ;; (Font Lock mode is set up via (a) where a mode's patterns are
105 ;; distributed with the mode's package library, and (b) where a mode's
106 ;; patterns are distributed with font-lock.el itself. An example of (a)
107 ;; is Pascal mode, an example of (b) is Lisp mode. Normally, the mechanism is
108 ;; (a); (b) is used where it is not clear which package library should contain
109 ;; the pattern definitions.) Font Lock mode chooses which variable to use for
110 ;; fontification based on `font-lock-maximum-decoration'.
111 ;;
112 ;; Font Lock mode fontification behavior can be modified in a number of ways.
113 ;; See the below comments and the comments distributed throughout this file.
115 ;;; Constructing patterns:
117 ;; See the documentation for the variable `font-lock-keywords'.
118 ;;
119 ;; Efficient regexps for use as MATCHERs for `font-lock-keywords' and
120 ;; `font-lock-syntactic-keywords' can be generated via the function
121 ;; `regexp-opt'.
123 ;;; Adding patterns for modes that already support Font Lock:
125 ;; Though Font Lock highlighting patterns already exist for many modes, it's
126 ;; likely there's something that you want fontified that currently isn't, even
127 ;; at the maximum fontification level. You can add highlighting patterns via
128 ;; `font-lock-add-keywords'. For example, say in some C
129 ;; header file you #define the token `and' to expand to `&&', etc., to make
130 ;; your C code almost readable. In your ~/.emacs there could be:
131 ;;
132 ;; (font-lock-add-keywords 'c-mode '("\\<\\(and\\|or\\|not\\)\\>"))
133 ;;
134 ;; Some modes provide specific ways to modify patterns based on the values of
135 ;; other variables. For example, additional C types can be specified via the
136 ;; variable `c-font-lock-extra-types'.
138 ;;; Adding patterns for modes that do not support Font Lock:
140 ;; Not all modes support Font Lock mode. If you (as a user of the mode) add
141 ;; patterns for a new mode, you must define in your ~/.emacs a variable or
142 ;; variables that specify regexp fontification. Then, you should indicate to
143 ;; Font Lock mode, via the mode hook setting `font-lock-defaults', exactly what
144 ;; support is required. For example, say Foo mode should have the following
145 ;; regexps fontified case-sensitively, and comments and strings should not be
146 ;; fontified automagically. In your ~/.emacs there could be:
147 ;;
148 ;; (defvar foo-font-lock-keywords
149 ;; '(("\\<\\(one\\|two\\|three\\)\\>" . 'font-lock-keyword-face)
150 ;; ("\\<\\(four\\|five\\|six\\)\\>" . 'font-lock-type-face))
151 ;; "Default expressions to highlight in Foo mode.")
152 ;;
153 ;; (add-hook 'foo-mode-hook
154 ;; (lambda ()
155 ;; (set (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults)
156 ;; '(foo-font-lock-keywords t))))
158 ;;; Adding Font Lock support for modes:
160 ;; Of course, it would be better that the mode already supports Font Lock mode.
161 ;; The package author would do something similar to above. The mode must
162 ;; define at the top-level a variable or variables that specify regexp
163 ;; fontification. Then, the mode command should indicate to Font Lock mode,
164 ;; via `font-lock-defaults', exactly what support is required. For example,
165 ;; say Bar mode should have the following regexps fontified case-insensitively,
166 ;; and comments and strings should be fontified automagically. In bar.el there
167 ;; could be:
168 ;;
169 ;; (defvar bar-font-lock-keywords
170 ;; '(("\\<\\(uno\\|due\\|tre\\)\\>" . 'font-lock-keyword-face)
171 ;; ("\\<\\(quattro\\|cinque\\|sei\\)\\>" . 'font-lock-type-face))
172 ;; "Default expressions to highlight in Bar mode.")
173 ;;
174 ;; and within `bar-mode' there could be:
175 ;;
176 ;; (set (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults)
177 ;; '(bar-font-lock-keywords nil t))
178 \f
179 ;; What is fontification for? You might say, "It's to make my code look nice."
180 ;; I think it should be for adding information in the form of cues. These cues
181 ;; should provide you with enough information to both (a) distinguish between
182 ;; different items, and (b) identify the item meanings, without having to read
183 ;; the items and think about it. Therefore, fontification allows you to think
184 ;; less about, say, the structure of code, and more about, say, why the code
185 ;; doesn't work. Or maybe it allows you to think less and drift off to sleep.
186 ;;
187 ;; So, here are my opinions/advice/guidelines:
188 ;;
189 ;; - Highlight conceptual objects, such as function and variable names, and
190 ;; different objects types differently, i.e., (a) and (b) above, highlight
191 ;; function names differently to variable names.
192 ;; - Keep the faces distinct from each other as far as possible.
193 ;; i.e., (a) above.
194 ;; - Use the same face for the same conceptual object, across all modes.
195 ;; i.e., (b) above, all modes that have items that can be thought of as, say,
196 ;; keywords, should be highlighted with the same face, etc.
197 ;; - Make the face attributes fit the concept as far as possible.
198 ;; i.e., function names might be a bold color such as blue, comments might
199 ;; be a bright color such as red, character strings might be brown, because,
200 ;; err, strings are brown (that was not the reason, please believe me).
201 ;; - Don't use a non-nil OVERRIDE unless you have a good reason.
202 ;; Only use OVERRIDE for special things that are easy to define, such as the
203 ;; way `...' quotes are treated in strings and comments in Emacs Lisp mode.
204 ;; Don't use it to, say, highlight keywords in commented out code or strings.
205 ;; - Err, that's it.

207 ;;; 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 ;; User variables.
231 "Maximum buffer size for unsupported buffer fontification.
232 When `font-lock-support-mode' is nil, only buffers smaller than
233 this are fontified. This variable has no effect if a Font Lock
234 support mode (usually `jit-lock-mode') is enabled.
236 If nil, means size is irrelevant.
237 If a list, each element should be a cons pair of the form (MAJOR-MODE . SIZE),
238 where MAJOR-MODE is a symbol or t (meaning the default). For example:
239 ((c-mode . 256000) (c++-mode . 256000) (rmail-mode . 1048576))
240 means that the maximum size is 250K for buffers in C or C++ modes, one megabyte
241 for buffers in Rmail mode, and size is irrelevant otherwise."
257 "Maximum decoration level for fontification.
258 If nil, use the default decoration (typically the minimum available).
259 If t, use the maximum decoration available.
260 If a number, use that level of decoration (or if not available the maximum).
261 The higher the number, the more decoration is done.
262 If a list, each element should be a cons pair of the form (MAJOR-MODE . LEVEL),
263 where MAJOR-MODE is a symbol or t (meaning the default). For example:
264 ((c-mode . t) (c++-mode . 2) (t . 1))
265 means use the maximum decoration available for buffers in C mode, level 2
266 decoration for buffers in C++ mode, and level 1 decoration otherwise."
283 "If non-nil, means show status messages for buffer fontification.
284 If a number, only buffers greater than this size have fontification messages."

292 ;; Originally these variable values were face names such as `bold' etc.
293 ;; Now we create our own faces, but we keep these variables for compatibility
294 ;; and they give users another mechanism for changing face appearance.
295 ;; We now allow a FACENAME in `font-lock-keywords' to be any expression that
296 ;; returns a face. So the easiest thing is to continue using these variables,
297 ;; rather than sometimes evalling FACENAME and sometimes not. sm.
299 ;; Note that in new code, in the vast majority of cases there is no
300 ;; need to create variables that specify face names. Simply using
301 ;; faces directly is enough. Font-lock is not a template to be
302 ;; followed in this area.
337 "Face name to use for easy to overlook negation.
346 ;; Fontification variables:
349 "A list of the keywords to highlight.
350 There are two kinds of values: user-level, and compiled.
352 A user-level keywords list is what a major mode or the user would
353 set up. Normally the list would come from `font-lock-defaults'.
354 through selection of a fontification level and evaluation of any
355 contained expressions. You can also alter it by calling
356 `font-lock-add-keywords' or `font-lock-remove-keywords' with MODE = nil.
358 Each element in a user-level keywords list should have one of these forms:
360 MATCHER
361 (MATCHER . SUBEXP)
362 (MATCHER . FACENAME)
363 (MATCHER . HIGHLIGHT)
364 (MATCHER HIGHLIGHT ...)
365 (eval . FORM)
367 where MATCHER can be either the regexp to search for, or the function name to
368 call to make the search (called with one argument, the limit of the search;
369 it should return non-nil, move point, and set `match-data' appropriately if
370 it succeeds; like `re-search-forward' would).
371 MATCHER regexps can be generated via the function `regexp-opt'.
373 FORM is an expression, whose value should be a keyword element, evaluated when
374 the keyword is (first) used in a buffer. This feature can be used to provide a
375 keyword that can only be generated when Font Lock mode is actually turned on.
377 HIGHLIGHT should be either MATCH-HIGHLIGHT or MATCH-ANCHORED.
380 typically only MATCH-HIGHLIGHT is required.
381 However, if an item or (typically) items are to be highlighted following the
382 instance of another item (the anchor), for example each instance of the
385 MATCH-HIGHLIGHT should be of the form:
387 (SUBEXP FACENAME [OVERRIDE [LAXMATCH]])
389 SUBEXP is the number of the subexpression of MATCHER to be highlighted.
391 FACENAME is an expression whose value is the face name to use.
392 Instead of a face, FACENAME can evaluate to a property list
393 of the form (face FACE PROP1 VAL1 PROP2 VAL2 ...)
394 in which case all the listed text-properties will be set rather than
395 just FACE. In such a case, you will most likely want to put those
396 properties in `font-lock-extra-managed-props' or to override
397 `font-lock-unfontify-region-function'.
399 OVERRIDE and LAXMATCH are flags. If OVERRIDE is t, existing fontification can
400 be overwritten. If `keep', only parts not already fontified are highlighted.
401 If `prepend' or `append', existing fontification is merged with the new, in
402 which the new or existing fontification, respectively, takes precedence.
403 If LAXMATCH is non-nil, that means don't signal an error if there is
404 no match for SUBEXP in MATCHER.
406 For example, an element of the form highlights (if not already highlighted):
409 variable `font-lock-keyword-face'.
411 the value of `font-lock-keyword-face'.
415 of `foo-bar-face', even if already highlighted.
416 (fubar-match 1 fubar-face)
417 the first subexpression within all occurrences of
418 whatever the function `fubar-match' finds and matches
419 in the value of `fubar-face'.
421 MATCH-ANCHORED should be of the form:
423 (MATCHER PRE-MATCH-FORM POST-MATCH-FORM MATCH-HIGHLIGHT ...)
425 where MATCHER is a regexp to search for or the function name to call to make
426 the search, as for MATCH-HIGHLIGHT above, but with one exception; see below.
427 PRE-MATCH-FORM and POST-MATCH-FORM are evaluated before the first, and after
428 the last, instance MATCH-ANCHORED's MATCHER is used. Therefore they can be
429 used to initialize before, and cleanup after, MATCHER is used. Typically,
430 PRE-MATCH-FORM is used to move to some position relative to the original
431 MATCHER, before starting with MATCH-ANCHORED's MATCHER. POST-MATCH-FORM might
432 be used to move back, before resuming with MATCH-ANCHORED's parent's MATCHER.
434 For example, an element of the form highlights (if not already highlighted):
445 The above-mentioned exception is as follows. The limit of the MATCHER search
446 defaults to the end of the line after PRE-MATCH-FORM is evaluated.
447 However, if PRE-MATCH-FORM returns a position greater than the position after
448 PRE-MATCH-FORM is evaluated, that position is used as the limit of the search.
449 It is generally a bad idea to return a position greater than the end of the
450 line, i.e., cause the MATCHER search to span lines.
452 These regular expressions can match text which spans lines, although
453 it is better to avoid it if possible since updating them while editing
454 text is slower, and it is not guaranteed to be always correct when using
455 support modes like jit-lock or lazy-lock.
457 This variable is set by major modes via the variable `font-lock-defaults'.
458 Be careful when composing regexps for this list; a poorly written pattern can
459 dramatically slow things down!
461 A compiled keywords list starts with t. It is produced internally
462 by `font-lock-compile-keywords' from a user-level keywords list.
463 Its second element is the user-level keywords list that was
464 compiled. The remaining elements have the same form as
465 user-level keywords, but normally their values have been
469 "Alist of additional `font-lock-keywords' elements for major modes.
471 Each element has the form (MODE KEYWORDS . HOW).
472 Function `font-lock-set-defaults' adds the elements in the list KEYWORDS to
473 `font-lock-keywords' when Font Lock is turned on in major mode MODE.
475 If HOW is nil, KEYWORDS are added at the beginning of
476 `font-lock-keywords'. If it is `set', they are used to replace the
477 value of `font-lock-keywords'. If HOW is any other non-nil value,
478 they are added at the end.
480 This is normally set via `font-lock-add-keywords' and
485 "Alist of `font-lock-keywords' elements to be removed for major modes.
487 Each element has the form (MODE . KEYWORDS). Function `font-lock-set-defaults'
488 removes the elements in the list KEYWORDS from `font-lock-keywords'

491 This is normally set via `font-lock-add-keywords' and

520 The value can be the list itself, or the name of a function or variable
521 whose value is the list.
523 See `font-lock-keywords' for a description of the form of this list;
524 only the differences are stated here. MATCH-HIGHLIGHT should be of the form:

528 where SYNTAX can be a string (as taken by `modify-syntax-entry'), a syntax
529 table, a cons cell (as returned by `string-to-syntax') or an expression whose
530 value is such a form. OVERRIDE cannot be `prepend' or `append'.
532 Here are two examples of elements of `font-lock-syntactic-keywords'
533 and what they do:
538 dollar-sign character. Hash characters in other contexts will still

860 Support modes speed up Font Lock mode by being choosy about when fontification
861 occurs. The default support mode, Just-in-time Lock mode (symbol
862 `jit-lock-mode'), is recommended.
864 Other, older support modes are Fast Lock mode (symbol `fast-lock-mode') and
865 Lazy Lock mode (symbol `lazy-lock-mode'). See those modes for more info.
866 However, they are no longer recommended, as Just-in-time Lock mode is better.
868 If nil, means support for Font Lock mode is never performed.
869 If a symbol, use that support mode.
870 If a list, each element should be of the form (MAJOR-MODE . SUPPORT-MODE),
871 where MAJOR-MODE is a symbol or t (meaning the default). For example:
872 ((c-mode . fast-lock-mode) (c++-mode . fast-lock-mode) (t . lazy-lock-mode))
873 means that Fast Lock mode is used to support Font Lock mode for buffers in C or
874 C++ modes, and Lazy Lock mode is used to support Font Lock mode otherwise.

970 ;;; Fontification functions.
972 ;; Rather than the function, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region' containing the
973 ;; code to fontify a region, the function runs the function whose name is the
974 ;; value of the variable, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region-function'. Normally,
975 ;; the value of this variable is, e.g., `font-lock-default-fontify-region'
976 ;; which does contain the code to fontify a region. However, the value of the
977 ;; variable could be anything and thus, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region' could
978 ;; do anything. The indirection of the fontification functions gives major
979 ;; modes the capability of modifying the way font-lock.el fontifies. Major
980 ;; modes can modify the values of, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region-function',
981 ;; via the variable `font-lock-defaults'.
982 ;;
983 ;; For example, Rmail mode sets the variable `font-lock-defaults' so that
984 ;; font-lock.el uses its own function for buffer fontification. This function
985 ;; makes fontification be on a message-by-message basis and so visiting an
986 ;; RMAIL file is much faster. A clever implementation of the function might
987 ;; fontify the headers differently than the message body. (It should, and
988 ;; correspondingly for Mail mode, but I can't be bothered to do the work. Can
989 ;; you?) This hints at a more interesting use...
990 ;;
991 ;; Languages that contain text normally contained in different major modes
992 ;; could define their own fontification functions that treat text differently
993 ;; depending on its context. For example, Perl mode could arrange that here
994 ;; docs are fontified differently than Perl code. Or Yacc mode could fontify
995 ;; rules one way and C code another. Neat!
996 ;;
997 ;; A further reason to use the fontification indirection feature is when the
998 ;; default syntactic fontification, or the default fontification in general,
999 ;; is not flexible enough for a particular major mode. For example, perhaps
1000 ;; comments are just too hairy for `font-lock-fontify-syntactically-region' to
1001 ;; cope with. You need to write your own version of that function, e.g.,
1002 ;; `hairy-fontify-syntactically-region', and make your own version of
1003 ;; `hairy-fontify-region' call that function before calling
1004 ;; `font-lock-fontify-keywords-region' for the normal regexp fontification
1005 ;; pass. And Hairy mode would set `font-lock-defaults' so that font-lock.el
1006 ;; would call your region fontification function instead of its own. For
1007 ;; example, TeX modes could fontify {\foo ...} and \bar{...} etc. multi-line
1008 ;; directives correctly and cleanly. (It is the same problem as fontifying
1009 ;; multi-line strings and comments; regexps are not appropriate for the job.)
