When I try to do M-x doxymacs-font-lock, emacs gives me the error "Symbol's value as variable is void: font-lock-keywords." This is with emacs 20.7.1. The C++ fontification works fine, and my C/C++ code has syntax highlighting. My minor mode seems to be working (I'm seeing (C++ doxy) as the buffer mode.)
Any ideas on what is going wrong?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
One of the requirements that I didn't actually realize is that you must (require 'font-lock) in your .emacs file. I have been using hilit19 to color code my source instead of font-lock. I commented out the hilit19 stuff, and added the font-lock. Next I did the doxymacs-font-lock, followed by font-lock-mode. Then it was working. Now I have to figure out how to configure font-lock to work the same way hilit19 works, because my display looks hideous.
Thanks for your help. I had heard of font-lock before, so when "C-h v font-lock-keywords" returned "No match", it was a step in the right direction.

Nope. I don't have 20.7.1 installed anymore (I'm up to 21.2.1), but I do know that it worked for me.
What does "C-h v font-lock-keywords" say (if anything)?
Also, which version of doxymacs are you using?
Actually, it is a little confusing.

Glad you got it working.
Anyways, you might want to consider using font-lock from now on:
