--- Begin Message ---Package: emacs21 Version: 21.1-4 The elisp mode's syntax shading is confused by its own keywords. Example: ---begin quote--- (defvar cperl-problems 'please-ignore-this-line "Some faces will not be shown on some versions of Emacs unless you install choose-color.el, available from ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/pub/users/ilya/emacs/ Emacs had a _very_ restricted syntax parsing engine until RMS's Emacs 20.1. Most problems below are corrected starting from this version of Emacs, and all of them should go with RMS's version 20.3. (Or apply patches to Emacs 19.33/34 - see tips.) Note that even with newer Emacsen interaction of `font-lock' and syntaxification is not cleaned up. You may get slightly different colors basing on the order of fontification and syntaxification. This might be corrected by setting `cperl-syntaxify-by-font-lock' to t, but the corresponding code may still contain some bugs. ---end quote--- The syntax shading of this multiline string is erroneous from the second line of the second paragraph, with "`font-lock' and" in it. It's also shading font-lock differently because it's a keyword when it's obviously inside of a string, and thus has no special value here. Mike -- Michael P.

--- Begin Message ---There is an unescaped "(" in column 0. It is well-documented that these should be escaped else problems are likely. Write "\(" instead. Otherwise the cited code fontifies as intended in the latest Emacs 24.3. As already explained, the highlighting of `font-lock' etc is intentional.
