  25 ;;; Commentary
  26 ;;
  27 ;;  With the hi-lock commands text matching interactively entered
  28 ;;  regexp's can be highlighted.  For example, `M-x highlight-regexp
  29 ;;  RET clearly RET RET' will highlight all occurrences of `clearly'
  30 ;;  using a yellow background face.  New occurrences of `clearly' will
  31 ;;  be highlighted as they are typed.  `M-x unhighlight-regexp RET'
  32 ;;  will remove the highlighting.  Any existing face can be used for
  33 ;;  highlighting and a set of appropriate faces is provided.  The
  34 ;;  regexps can be written into the current buffer in a form that will
  35 ;;  be recognized the next time the corresponding file is read.
  36 ;;
  37 ;;  Applications:
  38 ;;
  39 ;;    In program source code highlight a variable to quickly see all
  40 ;;    places it is modified or referenced:
  41 ;;    M-x highlight-regexp ground_contact_switches_closed RET RET
  42 ;;
  43 ;;    In a shell or other buffer that is showing lots of program
  44 ;;    output, highlight the parts of the output you're interested in:
  45 ;;    M-x highlight-regexp Total execution time [0-9]+ RET hi-blue-b RET
  46 ;;
  47 ;;    In buffers displaying tables, highlight the lines you're interested in:
  48 ;;    M-x highlight-lines-matching-regexp January 2000 RET hi-black-b RET
  49 ;;
  50 ;;    When writing text, highlight personal cliches.  This can be
  51 ;;    amusing.
  52 ;;    M-x highlight-regexp as can be seen RET RET
  53 ;;
  54 ;;  Setup
  55 ;;
  56 ;;    Put the following code in your .emacs file.  This turns on
  57 ;;    hi-lock mode and adds an "Automatic Highlighting" entry
  58 ;;    to the edit menu.
  59 ;;
  60 ;;    (hi-lock-mode 1)
  61 ;;
  62 ;;    You might also want to bind the hi-lock commands to more
  63 ;;    finger-friendly sequences:
  64
  65 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-z\C-h" 'highlight-lines-matching-regexp)
  66 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zi" 'hi-lock-find-patterns)
  67 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zh" 'highlight-regexp)
  68 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zr" 'unhighlight-regexp)
  69 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zb" 'hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns))
  70
  71 ;;    See the documentation for hi-lock-mode `C-h f hi-lock-mode' for
  72 ;;    additional instructions.
  73
  74 ;; Sample file patterns:
  75
  76 ; Hi-lock: (("^;;; .*" (0 (quote hi-black-hb) t)))
  77 ; Hi-lock: ( ("make-variable-buffer-\\(local\\)" (0 font-lock-keyword-face)(1 'italic append)))))

 245 If ARG positive turn hi-lock on.  Issuing a hi-lock command will also
 246 turn hi-lock on.  When hi-lock turned on an \"Automatic Highlighting\"
 247 submenu is added to the \"Edit\" menu.  The commands in the submenu,
 248 which can be called interactively, are:
 249
 250 \\[highlight-regexp] REGEXP FACE
 251   Highlight matches of pattern REGEXP in current buffer with FACE.
 252
 253 \\[highlight-lines-matching-regexp] REGEXP FACE
 254   Highlight lines containing matches of REGEXP in current buffer with FACE.
 255
 256 \\[unhighlight-regexp] REGEXP
 257   Remove highlighting on matches of REGEXP in current buffer.
 258
 259 \\[hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns]
 260   Write active REGEXPs into buffer as comments (if possible). They will
 261   be read the next time file is loaded or when the \\[hi-lock-find-patterns] command
 262   is issued.  The inserted regexps are in the form of font lock keywords.
 263   (See `font-lock-keywords') They may be edited and re-loaded with \\[hi-lock-find-patterns],
 264   any valid `font-lock-keywords' form is acceptable.
 265
 266 \\[hi-lock-find-patterns]
 267   Re-read patterns stored in buffer (in the format produced by \\[hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns]).
 268
 269 When hi-lock is started and if the mode is not excluded, the
 270 beginning of the buffer is searched for lines of the form:
 271   Hi-lock: FOO
 272 where FOO is a list of patterns. These are added to the font lock keywords
 273 already present.  The patterns must start before position (number
 274 of characters into buffer) `hi-lock-file-patterns-range'.  Patterns
 275 will be read until
 276  Hi-lock: end
