"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 [KEYWORDS-ONLY [CASE-FOLD [SYNTAX-ALIST ...]]])
KEYWORDS may be a symbol (a variable or function whose value is the keywords
to use for fontification) or a list of symbols (specifying different levels
\(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.
+`font-lock-keywords-case-fold-search', `font-lock-syntax-table'.
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.
- 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:

-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'.
