idlwave: Syntax Highlighting
4.1.5 Syntax Highlighting
-------------------------
Highlighting of keywords, comments, strings etc. can be accomplished
with ‘font-lock’. If you are using ‘global-font-lock-mode’ (in Emacs),
or have ‘font-lock’ turned on in any other buffer in XEmacs, it should
also automatically work in IDLWAVE buffers. If you’d prefer invoking
font-lock individually by mode, you can enforce it in ‘idlwave-mode’
with the following line in your ‘.emacs’:
(add-hook 'idlwave-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
IDLWAVE supports 3 increasing levels of syntax highlighting. The
variable ‘font-lock-maximum-decoration’ determines which level is
selected. Individual categories of special tokens can be selected for
highlighting using the variable ‘idlwave-default-font-lock-items’.
-- User Option: idlwave-default-font-lock-items
Items which should be fontified on the default fontification level
