Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Font-lock breakage?

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

I tried the case with:

% foobar 1

and it font-locked ok for me.

The comment/string highlighter won't highlight areas that are already highlighted by something else.  Do you have any other font-lock trickery going on that might be highlighting numbers before the matlab lockers start up?

lol, looking a little closer at emacs regexps it seems this should match numerals.



Then I'm afraid I'm out of ideas on how to fix this in a nippy

Emne: Font-lock breakage?


Hi,



It seems to me that font-locking is somewhat broken. I might be wrong however. The issue seems to be:



% foobar



Works just fine



% foobar1



Also works



However



% foobar 1



or any other number for that matter - will break font-locking.



However, looking at the function 'matlab-font-lock-comment-match', and the regex '\\(%[^%\n]*\\)', this will not match numerals.



Is this a conscious design decition?



Cheers
