26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; Font Lock mode is a minor mode that causes your comments to be displayed in
29 ;; one face, strings in another, reserved words in another, and so on.
30 ;;
31 ;; Comments will be displayed in `font-lock-comment-face'.
32 ;; Strings will be displayed in `font-lock-string-face'.
33 ;; Regexps are used to display selected patterns in other faces.
34 ;;
35 ;; To make the text you type be fontified, use M-x font-lock-mode RET.
36 ;; When this minor mode is on, the faces of the current line are updated with
37 ;; every insertion or deletion.
38 ;;
39 ;; To turn Font Lock mode on automatically, add this to your ~/.emacs file:
40 ;;
41 ;; (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
42 ;;
43 ;; Or if you want to turn Font Lock mode on in many modes:
44 ;;
45 ;; (global-font-lock-mode t)
46 ;;
47 ;; Fontification for a particular mode may be available in a number of levels
48 ;; of decoration. The higher the level, the more decoration, but the more time
49 ;; it takes to fontify. See the variable `font-lock-maximum-decoration', and
50 ;; also the variable `font-lock-maximum-size'. Support modes for Font Lock
51 ;; mode can be used to speed up Font Lock mode. See `font-lock-support-mode'.
52 \f
53 ;;; How Font Lock mode fontifies:
55 ;; When Font Lock mode is turned on in a buffer, it (a) fontifies the entire
56 ;; buffer and (b) installs one of its fontification functions on one of the
57 ;; hook variables that are run by Emacs after every buffer change (i.e., an
58 ;; insertion or deletion). Fontification means the replacement of `face' text
59 ;; properties in a given region; Emacs displays text with these `face' text
60 ;; properties appropriately.
61 ;;
62 ;; Fontification normally involves syntactic (i.e., strings and comments) and
63 ;; regexp (i.e., keywords and everything else) passes. The syntactic pass
64 ;; involves a syntax table and a syntax parsing function to determine the
65 ;; context of different parts of a region of text. It is necessary because
66 ;; generally strings and/or comments can span lines, and so the context of a
67 ;; given region is not necessarily apparent from the content of that region.
68 ;; Because the regexp pass only works within a given region, it is not
69 ;; generally appropriate for syntactic fontification. The regexp pass involves
70 ;; searching for given regexps (or calling given functions) within the given
71 ;; region. For each match of the regexp (or non-nil value of the called
72 ;; function), `face' text properties are added appropriately.
74 ;;; How Font Lock mode supports modes or is supported by modes:
76 ;; Modes that support Font Lock mode do so by defining one or more variables
77 ;; whose values specify the fontification. Font Lock mode knows of these
78 ;; variable names from (a) the buffer local variable `font-lock-defaults', if
79 ;; non-nil, or (b) the global variable `font-lock-defaults-alist', if the major
80 ;; mode has an entry. (Font Lock mode is set up via (a) where a mode's
81 ;; patterns are distributed with the mode's package library, and (b) where a
82 ;; mode's patterns are distributed with font-lock.el itself. An example of (a)
83 ;; is Pascal mode, an example of (b) is Lisp mode. Normally, the mechanism is
84 ;; (a); (b) is used where it is not clear which package library should contain
85 ;; the pattern definitions.) Font Lock mode chooses which variable to use for
86 ;; fontification based on `font-lock-maximum-decoration'.
87 ;;
88 ;; Font Lock mode fontification behaviour can be modified in a number of ways.
89 ;; See the below comments and the comments distributed throughout this file.
91 ;;; Constructing patterns:
93 ;; See the documentation for the variable `font-lock-keywords'.
94 ;;
95 ;; Nasty regexps of the form "bar\\(\\|lo\\)\\|f\\(oo\\|u\\(\\|bar\\)\\)\\|lo"
96 ;; are made thusly: (make-regexp '("foo" "fu" "fubar" "bar" "barlo" "lo")) for
97 ;; efficiency. See /pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/functions/make-regexp.el.Z on
98 ;; archive.cis.ohio-state.edu for this and other functions not just by sm.
100 ;;; Adding patterns for modes that already support Font Lock:
102 ;; Though Font Lock highlighting patterns already exist for many modes, it's
103 ;; likely there's something that you want fontified that currently isn't, even
104 ;; at the maximum fontification level. You can add highlighting patterns via
105 ;; `font-lock-add-keywords'. For example, say in some C
106 ;; header file you #define the token `and' to expand to `&&', etc., to make
107 ;; your C code almost readable. In your ~/.emacs there could be:
108 ;;
109 ;; (font-lock-add-keywords 'c-mode '("\\<\\(and\\|or\\|not\\)\\>"))
110 ;;
111 ;; Some modes provide specific ways to modify patterns based on the values of
112 ;; other variables. For example, additional C types can be specified via the
113 ;; variable `c-font-lock-extra-types'.
115 ;;; Adding patterns for modes that do not support Font Lock:
117 ;; Not all modes support Font Lock mode. If you (as a user of the mode) add
118 ;; patterns for a new mode, you must define in your ~/.emacs a variable or
119 ;; variables that specify regexp fontification. Then, you should indicate to
120 ;; Font Lock mode, via the mode hook setting `font-lock-defaults', exactly what
121 ;; support is required. For example, say Foo mode should have the following
122 ;; regexps fontified case-sensitively, and comments and strings should not be
123 ;; fontified automagically. In your ~/.emacs there could be:
124 ;;
125 ;; (defvar foo-font-lock-keywords
126 ;; '(("\\<\\(one\\|two\\|three\\)\\>" . font-lock-keyword-face)
127 ;; ("\\<\\(four\\|five\\|six\\)\\>" . font-lock-type-face))
128 ;; "Default expressions to highlight in Foo mode.")
129 ;;
130 ;; (add-hook 'foo-mode-hook
131 ;; (function (lambda ()
132 ;; (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults)
133 ;; (setq font-lock-defaults '(foo-font-lock-keywords t)))))
135 ;;; Adding Font Lock support for modes:
137 ;; Of course, it would be better that the mode already supports Font Lock mode.
138 ;; The package author would do something similar to above. The mode must
139 ;; define at the top-level a variable or variables that specify regexp
140 ;; fontification. Then, the mode command should indicate to Font Lock mode,
141 ;; via `font-lock-defaults', exactly what support is required. For example,
142 ;; say Bar mode should have the following regexps fontified case-insensitively,
143 ;; and comments and strings should be fontified automagically. In bar.el there
144 ;; could be:
145 ;;
146 ;; (defvar bar-font-lock-keywords
147 ;; '(("\\<\\(uno\\|due\\|tre\\)\\>" . font-lock-keyword-face)
148 ;; ("\\<\\(quattro\\|cinque\\|sei\\)\\>" . font-lock-type-face))
149 ;; "Default expressions to highlight in Bar mode.")
150 ;;
151 ;; and within `bar-mode' there could be:
152 ;;
153 ;; (make-local-variable 'font-lock-defaults)
154 ;; (setq font-lock-defaults '(bar-font-lock-keywords nil t))
155 \f
156 ;; What is fontification for? You might say, "It's to make my code look nice."
157 ;; I think it should be for adding information in the form of cues. These cues
158 ;; should provide you with enough information to both (a) distinguish between
159 ;; different items, and (b) identify the item meanings, without having to read
160 ;; the items and think about it. Therefore, fontification allows you to think
161 ;; less about, say, the structure of code, and more about, say, why the code
162 ;; doesn't work. Or maybe it allows you to think less and drift off to sleep.
163 ;;
164 ;; So, here are my opinions/advice/guidelines:
165 ;;
166 ;; - Highlight conceptual objects, such as function and variable names, and
167 ;; different objects types differently, i.e., (a) and (b) above, highlight
168 ;; function names differently to variable names.
169 ;; - Keep the faces distinct from each other as far as possible.
170 ;; i.e., (a) above.
171 ;; - Use the same face for the same conceptual object, across all modes.
172 ;; i.e., (b) above, all modes that have items that can be thought of as, say,
173 ;; keywords, should be highlighted with the same face, etc.
174 ;; - Make the face attributes fit the concept as far as possible.
175 ;; i.e., function names might be a bold colour such as blue, comments might
176 ;; be a bright colour such as red, character strings might be brown, because,
177 ;; err, strings are brown (that was not the reason, please believe me).
178 ;; - Don't use a non-nil OVERRIDE unless you have a good reason.
179 ;; Only use OVERRIDE for special things that are easy to define, such as the
180 ;; way `...' quotes are treated in strings and comments in Emacs Lisp mode.
181 ;; Don't use it to, say, highlight keywords in commented out code or strings.
182 ;; - Err, that's it.

196 If t, use the maximum decoration available.
197 If a number, use that level of decoration (or if not available the maximum).
198 If a list, each element should be a cons pair of the form (MAJOR-MODE . LEVEL),
199 where MAJOR-MODE is a symbol or t (meaning the default). For example:
200 ((c-mode . t) (c++-mode . 2) (t . 1))
201 means use the maximum decoration available for buffers in C mode, level 2

207 Only buffers less than this can be fontified when Font Lock mode is turned on.

215 ;; Fontification variables:
217 ;; Originally these variable values were face names such as `bold' etc.
218 ;; Now we create our own faces, but we keep these variables for compatibility
219 ;; and they give users another mechanism for changing face appearance.
220 ;; We now allow a FACENAME in `font-lock-keywords' to be any expression that
221 ;; returns a face. So the easiest thing is to continue using these variables,
222 ;; rather than sometimes evaling FACENAME and sometimes not. sm.
251 "*A list of the keywords to highlight.
252 Each element should be of the form:
254 MATCHER
255 (MATCHER . MATCH)
256 (MATCHER . FACENAME)
257 (MATCHER . HIGHLIGHT)
258 (MATCHER HIGHLIGHT ...)
259 (eval . FORM)
261 where HIGHLIGHT should be either MATCH-HIGHLIGHT or MATCH-ANCHORED.
263 FORM is an expression, whose value should be a keyword element, evaluated when
264 the keyword is (first) used in a buffer. This feature can be used to provide a
265 keyword that can only be generated when Font Lock mode is actually turned on.
267 For highlighting single items, typically only MATCH-HIGHLIGHT is required.
268 However, if an item or (typically) items are to be highlighted following the
269 instance of another item (the anchor) then MATCH-ANCHORED may be required.
271 MATCH-HIGHLIGHT should be of the form:
273 (MATCH FACENAME OVERRIDE LAXMATCH)
275 Where MATCHER can be either the regexp to search for, or the function name to
276 call to make the search (called with one argument, the limit of the search).
277 MATCH is the subexpression of MATCHER to be highlighted. MATCH can be
278 calculated via the function `font-lock-keyword-depth'. FACENAME is an
279 expression whose value is the face name to use. FACENAME's default attributes
280 can be defined via the variable `font-lock-face-attributes'.
282 OVERRIDE and LAXMATCH are flags. If OVERRIDE is t, existing fontification can
283 be overwritten. If `keep', only parts not already fontified are highlighted.
284 If `prepend' or `append', existing fontification is merged with the new, in
285 which the new or existing fontification, respectively, takes precedence.
286 If LAXMATCH is non-nil, no error is signaled if there is no MATCH in MATCHER.
288 For example, an element of the form highlights (if not already highlighted):
291 variable `font-lock-keyword-face'.
293 the value of `font-lock-keyword-face'.
297 of `foo-bar-face', even if already highlighted.
299 MATCH-ANCHORED should be of the form:
301 (MATCHER PRE-MATCH-FORM POST-MATCH-FORM MATCH-HIGHLIGHT ...)
303 Where MATCHER is as for MATCH-HIGHLIGHT with one exception; see below.
304 PRE-MATCH-FORM and POST-MATCH-FORM are evaluated before the first, and after
305 the last, instance MATCH-ANCHORED's MATCHER is used. Therefore they can be
306 used to initialise before, and cleanup after, MATCHER is used. Typically,
307 PRE-MATCH-FORM is used to move to some position relative to the original
308 MATCHER, before starting with MATCH-ANCHORED's MATCHER. POST-MATCH-FORM might
309 be used to move, before resuming with MATCH-ANCHORED's parent's MATCHER.
311 For example, an element of the form highlights (if not already highlighted):
322 The above-mentioned exception is as follows. The limit of the MATCHER search
323 defaults to the end of the line after PRE-MATCH-FORM is evaluated.
324 However, if PRE-MATCH-FORM returns a position greater than the position after
325 PRE-MATCH-FORM is evaluated, that position is used as the limit of the search.
326 It is generally a bad idea to return a position greater than the end of the
327 line, i.e., cause the MATCHER search to span lines.
329 Note that the MATCH-ANCHORED feature is experimental; in the future, we may
330 replace it with other ways of providing this functionality.
332 These regular expressions should not match text which spans lines. While
334 when you edit the buffer does not, since it considers text one line at a time.
336 This variable is set by major modes via the variable `font-lock-defaults'.
337 Be careful when composing regexps for this list; a poorly written pattern can
340 ;; This variable is used by mode packages that support Font Lock mode by
341 ;; defining their own keywords to use for `font-lock-keywords'. (The mode
342 ;; command should make it buffer-local and set it to provide the set up.)
344 "Defaults for Font Lock mode specified by the major mode.
345 Defaults should be of the form:
347 (KEYWORDS KEYWORDS-ONLY CASE-FOLD SYNTAX-ALIST SYNTAX-BEGIN ...)
349 KEYWORDS may be a symbol (a variable or function whose value is the keywords to
350 use for fontification) or a list of symbols. If KEYWORDS-ONLY is non-nil,
351 syntactic fontification (strings and comments) is not performed.
352 If CASE-FOLD is non-nil, the case of the keywords is ignored when fontifying.
353 If SYNTAX-ALIST is non-nil, it should be a list of cons pairs of the form
354 \(CHAR-OR-STRING . STRING) used to set the local Font Lock syntax table, for
355 keyword and syntactic fontification (see `modify-syntax-entry').
357 If SYNTAX-BEGIN is non-nil, it should be a function with no args used to move
358 backwards outside any enclosing syntactic block, for syntactic fontification.
359 Typical values are `beginning-of-line' (i.e., the start of the line is known to
360 be outside a syntactic block), or `beginning-of-defun' for programming modes or
361 `backward-paragraph' for textual modes (i.e., the mode-dependent function is
362 known to move outside a syntactic block). If nil, the beginning of the buffer
363 is used as a position outside of a syntactic block, in the worst case.
365 These item elements are used by Font Lock mode to set the variables
366 `font-lock-keywords', `font-lock-keywords-only',
367 `font-lock-keywords-case-fold-search', `font-lock-syntax-table' and
368 `font-lock-beginning-of-syntax-function', respectively.
370 Further item elements are alists of the form (VARIABLE . VALUE) and are in no
371 particular order. Each VARIABLE is made buffer-local before set to VALUE.
373 Currently, appropriate variables include `font-lock-mark-block-function'.
374 If this is non-nil, it should be a function with no args used to mark any
376 Typical values are `mark-defun' for programming modes or `mark-paragraph' for
377 textual modes (i.e., the mode-dependent function is known to put point and mark
378 around a text block relevant to that mode).
380 Other variables include those for buffer-specialised fontification functions,
381 `font-lock-fontify-buffer-function', `font-lock-unfontify-buffer-function',
382 `font-lock-fontify-region-function', `font-lock-unfontify-region-function',
383 `font-lock-comment-start-regexp', `font-lock-inhibit-thing-lock' and

687 ;; turn it on, perhaps the same way hilit19.el/hl319.el does. I've always
688 ;; balked at that way, as I see it as just re-moulding the same problem in
689 ;; another form. That is; some person would still have to keep track of which
690 ;; modes (which may not even be distributed with Emacs) support Font Lock mode.
691 ;; The list would always be out of date. And that person might have to be me.
693 ;; Implementation.
694 ;;
695 ;; In a previous discussion the following hack came to mind. It is a gross
696 ;; hack, but it generally works. We use the convention that major modes start
697 ;; by calling the function `kill-all-local-variables', which in turn runs
698 ;; functions on the hook variable `change-major-mode-hook'. We attach our
699 ;; function `font-lock-change-major-mode' to that hook. Of course, when this
700 ;; hook is run, the major mode is in the process of being changed and we do not
701 ;; know what the final major mode will be. So, `font-lock-change-major-mode'
702 ;; only (a) notes the name of the current buffer, and (b) adds our function
703 ;; `turn-on-font-lock-if-enabled' to the hook variables `find-file-hooks' and
704 ;; `post-command-hook' (for buffers that are not visiting files). By the time
705 ;; the functions on the first of these hooks to be run are run, the new major
706 ;; mode is assumed to be in place. This way we get a Font Lock function run
707 ;; when a major mode is turned on, without knowing major modes or their hooks.
708 ;;
709 ;; Naturally this requires that (a) major modes run `kill-all-local-variables',
710 ;; as they are supposed to do, and (b) the major mode is in place after the
711 ;; file is visited or the command that ran `kill-all-local-variables' has
712 ;; finished, whichever the sooner. Arguably, any major mode that does not
713 ;; follow the convension (a) is broken, and I can't think of any reason why (b)
714 ;; would not be met (except `gnudoit' on non-files). However, it is not clean.
715 ;;
716 ;; Probably the cleanest solution is to have each major mode function run some
717 ;; hook, e.g., `major-mode-hook', but maybe implementing that change is
718 ;; impractical. I am personally against making `setq' a macro or be advised,
719 ;; or have a special function such as `set-major-mode', but maybe someone can
720 ;; come up with another solution?
722 ;; User interface.
723 ;;
724 ;; Although Global Font Lock mode is a pseudo-mode, I think that the user
725 ;; interface should conform to the usual Emacs convention for modes, i.e., a
726 ;; command to toggle the feature (`global-font-lock-mode') with a variable for
727 ;; finer control of the mode's behaviour (`font-lock-global-modes').
728 ;;
729 ;; The feature should not be enabled by loading font-lock.el, since other
730 ;; mechanisms for turning on Font Lock mode, such as M-x font-lock-mode RET or
731 ;; (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock), would cause Font Lock mode to be
732 ;; turned on everywhere. That would not be intuitive or informative because
733 ;; loading a file tells you nothing about the feature or how to control it. It
734 ;; would also be contrary to the Principle of Least Surprise. sm.

862 ;;; Fontification functions.
864 ;; Rather than the function, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region' containing the
865 ;; code to fontify a region, the function runs the function whose name is the
866 ;; value of the variable, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region-function'. Normally,
867 ;; the value of this variable is, e.g., `font-lock-default-fontify-region'
868 ;; which does contain the code to fontify a region. However, the value of the
869 ;; variable could be anything and thus, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region' could
870 ;; do anything. The indirection of the fontification functions gives major
871 ;; modes the capability of modifying the way font-lock.el fontifies. Major
872 ;; modes can modify the values of, e.g., `font-lock-fontify-region-function',
873 ;; via the variable `font-lock-defaults'.
874 ;;
875 ;; For example, Rmail mode sets the variable `font-lock-defaults' so that
876 ;; font-lock.el uses its own function for buffer fontification. This function
877 ;; makes fontification be on a message-by-message basis and so visiting an
878 ;; RMAIL file is much faster. A clever implementation of the function might
879 ;; fontify the headers differently than the message body. (It should, and
880 ;; correspondingly for Mail mode, but I can't be bothered to do the work. Can
881 ;; you?) This hints at a more interesting use...
882 ;;
883 ;; Languages that contain text normally contained in different major modes
884 ;; could define their own fontification functions that treat text differently
885 ;; depending on its context. For example, Perl mode could arrange that here
886 ;; docs are fontified differently than Perl code. Or Yacc mode could fontify
887 ;; rules one way and C code another. Neat!
888 ;;
889 ;; A further reason to use the fontification indirection feature is when the
890 ;; default syntactual fontification, or the default fontification in general,
891 ;; is not flexible enough for a particular major mode. For example, perhaps
892 ;; comments are just too hairy for `font-lock-fontify-syntactically-region' and
893 ;; `font-lock-comment-start-regexp' to cope with. You need to write your own
894 ;; version of that function, e.g., `hairy-fontify-syntactically-region', and
895 ;; make your own version of `hairy-fontify-region' call it before calling
896 ;; `font-lock-fontify-keywords-region' for the normal regexp fontification
897 ;; pass. And Hairy mode would set `font-lock-defaults' so that font-lock.el
898 ;; would call your region fontification function instead of its own. For
899 ;; example, TeX modes could fontify {\foo ...} and \bar{...} etc. multi-line
900 ;; directives correctly and cleanly. (It is the same problem as fontifying
901 ;; multi-line strings and comments; regexps are not appropriate for the job.)
