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