183 When Just-in-time Lock mode is enabled, fontification is different in the
186 - Demand-driven buffer fontification triggered by Emacs C code.
187 This means initial fontification of the whole buffer does not occur.
188 Instead, fontification occurs when necessary, such as when scrolling
189 through the buffer would otherwise reveal unfontified areas. This is
190 useful if buffer fontification is too slow for large buffers.
192 - Stealthy buffer fontification if `jit-lock-stealth-time' is non-nil.
193 This means remaining unfontified areas of buffers are fontified if Emacs has
194 been idle for `jit-lock-stealth-time' seconds, while Emacs remains idle.
195 This is useful if any buffer has any deferred fontification.
197 - Deferred context fontification if `jit-lock-contextually' is
198 non-nil. This means fontification updates the buffer corresponding to
199 true syntactic context, after `jit-lock-context-time' seconds of Emacs
200 idle time, while Emacs remains idle. Otherwise, fontification occurs
201 on modified lines only, and subsequent lines can remain fontified
202 corresponding to previous syntactic contexts. This is useful where
203 strings or comments span lines.
205 Stealth fontification only occurs while the system remains unloaded.
206 If the system load rises above `jit-lock-stealth-load' percent, stealth
207 fontification is suspended. Stealth fontification intensity is controlled via
208 the variable `jit-lock-stealth-nice'."
