  23 ;;; Commentary:
  24 ;;
  25 ;;  With the hi-lock commands text matching interactively entered
  26 ;;  regexp's can be highlighted.  For example, `M-x highlight-regexp
  27 ;;  RET clearly RET RET' will highlight all occurrences of `clearly'
  28 ;;  using a yellow background face.  New occurrences of `clearly' will
  29 ;;  be highlighted as they are typed.  `M-x unhighlight-regexp RET'
  30 ;;  will remove the highlighting.  Any existing face can be used for
  31 ;;  highlighting and a set of appropriate faces is provided.  The
  32 ;;  regexps can be written into the current buffer in a form that will
  33 ;;  be recognized the next time the corresponding file is read (when
  34 ;;  file patterns is turned on).
  35 ;;
  36 ;;  Applications:
  37 ;;
  38 ;;    In program source code highlight a variable to quickly see all
  39 ;;    places it is modified or referenced:
  40 ;;    M-x highlight-regexp ground_contact_switches_closed RET RET
  41 ;;
  42 ;;    In a shell or other buffer that is showing lots of program
  43 ;;    output, highlight the parts of the output you're interested in:
  44 ;;    M-x highlight-regexp Total execution time [0-9]+ RET hi-blue-b RET
  45 ;;
  46 ;;    In buffers displaying tables, highlight the lines you're interested in:
  47 ;;    M-x highlight-lines-matching-regexp January 2000 RET hi-black-b RET
  48 ;;
  49 ;;    When writing text, highlight personal cliches.  This can be
  50 ;;    amusing.
  51 ;;    M-x highlight-phrase as can be seen RET RET
  52 ;;
  53 ;;  Setup:
  54 ;;
  55 ;;    Put the following code in your init file.  This turns on
  56 ;;    hi-lock mode and adds a "Regexp Highlighting" entry
  57 ;;    to the edit menu.
  58 ;;
  59 ;;    (global-hi-lock-mode 1)
  60 ;;
  61 ;;    To enable the use of patterns found in files (presumably placed
  62 ;;    there by hi-lock) include the following in your init file:
  63 ;;
  64 ;;    (setq hi-lock-file-patterns-policy 'ask)
  65 ;;
  66 ;;    If you get tired of being asked each time a file is loaded replace
  67 ;;    `ask' with a function that returns t if patterns should be read.
  68 ;;
  69 ;;    You might also want to bind the hi-lock commands to more
  70 ;;    finger-friendly sequences:
  71
  72 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-z\C-h" 'highlight-lines-matching-regexp)
  73 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zi" 'hi-lock-find-patterns)
  74 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zh" 'highlight-regexp)
  75 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zp" 'highlight-phrase)
  76 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zr" 'unhighlight-regexp)
  77 ;;    (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zb" 'hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns))
  78
  79 ;;    See the documentation for hi-lock-mode `C-h f hi-lock-mode' for
  80 ;;    additional instructions.
  81
  82 ;; Sample file patterns:
  83
  84 ; Hi-lock: (("^;;; .*" (0 (quote hi-black-hb) t)))

 286   "Toggle selective highlighting of patterns (Hi Lock mode).
 287 With a prefix argument ARG, enable Hi Lock mode if ARG is
 288 positive, and disable it otherwise.  If called from Lisp, enable
 289 the mode if ARG is omitted or nil.
 290
 291 Hi Lock mode is automatically enabled when you invoke any of the
 292 highlighting commands listed below, such as \\[highlight-regexp].
 293 To enable Hi Lock mode in all buffers, use `global-hi-lock-mode'
 294 or add (global-hi-lock-mode 1) to your init file.
 295
 296 In buffers where Font Lock mode is enabled, patterns are
 297 highlighted using font lock.  In buffers where Font Lock mode is
 298 disabled, patterns are applied using overlays; in this case, the
 299 highlighting will not be updated as you type.
 300
 301 When Hi Lock mode is enabled, a \"Regexp Highlighting\" submenu
 302 is added to the \"Edit\" menu.  The commands in the submenu,
 303 which can be called interactively, are:
 304
 305 \\[highlight-regexp] REGEXP FACE
 306   Highlight matches of pattern REGEXP in current buffer with FACE.
 307
 308 \\[highlight-phrase] PHRASE FACE
 309   Highlight matches of phrase PHRASE in current buffer with FACE.
 310   (PHRASE can be any REGEXP, but spaces will be replaced by matches
 311   to whitespace and initial lower-case letters will become case insensitive.)
 312
 313 \\[highlight-lines-matching-regexp] REGEXP FACE
 314   Highlight lines containing matches of REGEXP in current buffer with FACE.
 315
 316 \\[unhighlight-regexp] REGEXP
 317   Remove highlighting on matches of REGEXP in current buffer.
 318
 319 \\[hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns]
 320   Write active REGEXPs into buffer as comments (if possible).  They may
 321   be read the next time file is loaded or when the \\[hi-lock-find-patterns] command
 322   is issued.  The inserted regexps are in the form of font lock keywords.
 323   (See `font-lock-keywords'.)  They may be edited and re-loaded with \\[hi-lock-find-patterns],
 324   any valid `font-lock-keywords' form is acceptable.  When a file is
 325   loaded the patterns are read if `hi-lock-file-patterns-policy' is
 326   'ask and the user responds y to the prompt, or if
 327   `hi-lock-file-patterns-policy' is bound to a function and that
 328   function returns t.
 329
 330 \\[hi-lock-find-patterns]
 331   Re-read patterns stored in buffer (in the format produced by \\[hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns]).
 332
 333 When hi-lock is started and if the mode is not excluded or patterns
 334 rejected, the beginning of the buffer is searched for lines of the
 335 form:
 336   Hi-lock: FOO
 337
 338 where FOO is a list of patterns.  The patterns must start before
 339 position \(number of characters into buffer)
 340 `hi-lock-file-patterns-range'.  Patterns will be read until
 341 Hi-lock: end is found.  A mode is excluded if it's in the list
