;;; Commentary:

;; The main exported function is `syntax-ppss'.  You might also need
;; to call `syntax-ppss-flush-cache' or to add it to
;; before-change-functions'(although this is automatically done by
;; syntax-ppss when needed, but that might fail if syntax-ppss is
;; called in a context where before-change-functions is temporarily
;; let-bound to nil).

;;; Todo:

;; - do something about the case where the syntax-table is changed.
;;   This typically happens with tex-mode and its `$' operator.
;; - new functions `syntax-state', ... to replace uses of parse-partial-state
;;   with something higher-level (similar to syntax-ppss-context).
;; - interaction with mmm-mode.

;;; Code:

;; Note: PPSS stands for `parse-partial-sexp state'

a function that tries to find such elements and move the boundaries such that
they do not fall in the middle of one.

either a cons (NEW-START . NEW-END) or nil if no adjustment should be made.

(defmacro syntax-propertize-rules (&rest rules)
  "Make a function that applies RULES for use in `syntax-propertize-function'.
The function will scan the buffer, applying the rules where they match.
The buffer is scanned a single time, like \"lex\" would, rather than once
per rule.

Each RULE can be a symbol, in which case that symbol's value should be,
at macro-expansion time, a precompiled set of rules, as returned
by `syntax-propertize-precompile-rules'.

Otherwise, RULE should have the form (REGEXP HIGHLIGHT1 ... HIGHLIGHTn), where
REGEXP is an expression (evaluated at time of macro-expansion) that returns
a regexp, and where HIGHLIGHTs have the form (NUMBER SYNTAX) which means to
apply the property SYNTAX to the chars matched by the subgroup NUMBER
of the regular expression, if NUMBER did match.
SYNTAX is an expression that returns a value to apply as `syntax-table'
property.  Some expressions are handled specially:
- if SYNTAX is a string, then it is converted with `string-to-syntax';
- if SYNTAX has the form (prog1 EXP . EXPS) then the value returned by EXP
  will be applied to the buffer before running EXPS and if EXP is a string it
  is also converted with `string-to-syntax'.
The SYNTAX expression is responsible to save the `match-data' if needed
for subsequent HIGHLIGHTs.
Also SYNTAX is free to move point, in which case RULES may not be applied to
some parts of the text or may be applied several times to other parts.

Note: back-references in REGEXPs do not work."
