Dear all, Recently, there have been multiple issues related to incorrect fontification: - https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/23707.20428.546749.44...@frac.u-strasbg.fr/ - https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87fsujp7mc....@web.de/ - https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87czvqxdn9....@gmail.com/ - https://list.orgmode.org/8735nsv9qo....@nicolasgoaziou.fr/T/#me1c44b6e493dd280cca4f042b833c24749ae4fe0
These issues keep appearing because our current fontification code is based on regexps and only approximates the actual Org grammar elements. It is largely a legacy from the times when org-element parser was not a thing. Maybe it is a time to upgrade the fontification according to our state-of-art parser? Instead of fontifying elements individually via regexps, we can leverage org-element-map, org-element-parse-buffer, org-element-cache, and jit-lock-mode. Each type of Org element/object can be assigned with a fontification function accepting a single argument - the element datum. Also, the fontification code can be move to a separate library. WDYT? Best, Ihor
