"Defaults for Font Lock mode specified by the major mode.
Defaults should be of the form:
(KEYWORDS KEYWORDS-ONLY CASE-FOLD SYNTAX-ALIST SYNTAX-BEGIN ...)
KEYWORDS may be a symbol (a variable or function whose value is the keywords to
use for fontification) or a list of symbols. If KEYWORDS-ONLY is non-nil,
syntactic fontification (strings and comments) is not performed.
If CASE-FOLD is non-nil, the case of the keywords is ignored when fontifying.
If SYNTAX-ALIST is non-nil, it should be a list of cons pairs of the form
\(CHAR-OR-STRING . STRING) used to set the local Font Lock syntax table, for
keyword and syntactic fontification (see `modify-syntax-entry').
If SYNTAX-BEGIN is non-nil, it should be a function with no args used to move
backwards outside any enclosing syntactic block, for syntactic fontification.
Typical values are `beginning-of-line' (i.e., the start of the line is known to
be outside a syntactic block), or `beginning-of-defun' for programming modes or
`backward-paragraph' for textual modes (i.e., the mode-dependent function is
known to move outside a syntactic block). If nil, the beginning of the buffer
is used as a position outside of a syntactic block, in the worst case.
These item elements are used by Font Lock mode to set the variables
`font-lock-keywords', `font-lock-keywords-only',
`font-lock-keywords-case-fold-search', `font-lock-syntax-table' and
`font-lock-beginning-of-syntax-function', respectively.
Further item elements are alists of the form (VARIABLE . VALUE) and are in no
particular order. Each VARIABLE is made buffer-local before set to VALUE.
Currently, appropriate variables include `font-lock-mark-block-function'.
If this is non-nil, it should be a function with no args used to mark any
enclosing block of text, for fontification via \\[font-lock-fontify-block].
Typical values are `mark-defun' for programming modes or `mark-paragraph' for
textual modes (i.e., the mode-dependent function is known to put point and mark
around a text block relevant to that mode).
Other variables include that for syntactic keyword fontification,
`font-lock-syntactic-keywords'
and those for buffer-specialized fontification functions,
`font-lock-fontify-buffer-function', `font-lock-unfontify-buffer-function',
`font-lock-fontify-region-function', `font-lock-unfontify-region-function',
`font-lock-inhibit-thing-lock' and `font-lock-maximum-size'.")

\(Font Lock is also known as \"syntax highlighting\".)
When Font Lock mode is enabled, text is fontified as you type it:
- Comments are displayed in `font-lock-comment-face';
- Strings are displayed in `font-lock-string-face';
- Certain other expressions are displayed in other faces according to the
value of the variable `font-lock-keywords'.
To customize the faces (colors, fonts, etc.) used by Font Lock for
fontifying different parts of buffer text, use \\[customize-face].
You can enable Font Lock mode in any major mode automatically by turning on in
the major mode's hook. For example, put in your ~/.emacs:
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
Alternatively, you can use Global Font Lock mode to automagically turn on Font
Lock mode in buffers whose major mode supports it and whose major mode is one
of `font-lock-global-modes'. For example, put in your ~/.emacs:
(global-font-lock-mode t)
There are a number of support modes that may be used to speed up Font Lock mode
in various ways, specified via the variable `font-lock-support-mode'. Where
major modes support different levels of fontification, you can use the variable
`font-lock-maximum-decoration' to specify which level you generally prefer.
When you turn Font Lock mode on/off the buffer is fontified/defontified, though
fontification occurs only if the buffer is less than `font-lock-maximum-size'.
For example, to specify that Font Lock mode use use Lazy Lock mode as a support
mode and use maximum levels of fontification, put in your ~/.emacs:
(setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode)
(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
To add your own highlighting for some major mode, and modify the highlighting
selected automatically via the variable `font-lock-maximum-decoration', you can
use `font-lock-add-keywords'.
To fontify a buffer, without turning on Font Lock mode and regardless of buffer
size, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-buffer].
To fontify a block (the function or paragraph containing point, or a number of
lines around point), perhaps because modification on the current line caused
syntactic change on other lines, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-block].
See the variable `font-lock-defaults-alist' for the Font Lock mode default
settings. You can set your own default settings for some mode, by setting a
buffer local value for `font-lock-defaults', via its mode hook.
The above is the default behavior of `font-lock-mode'; you may specify
your own function which is called when `font-lock-mode' is toggled via
`font-lock-function'. "

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