For example, `M-x highlight-regexp ;; RET clearly RET RET' will highlight all occurrences of `clearly' ;; using a yellow background face. New occurrences of `clearly' will ;; be highlighted as they are typed. `M-x unhighlight-regexp RET' ;; will remove the highlighting. Any existing face can be used for ;; highlighting and a set of appropriate faces is provided. The ;; regexps can be written into the current buffer in a form that will ;; be recognized the next time the corresponding file is read. ;; ;; Applications: ;; ;; In program source code highlight a variable to quickly see all ;; places it is modified or referenced: ;; M-x highlight-regexp ground_contact_switches_closed RET RET ;; ;; In a shell or other buffer that is showing lots of program ;; output, highlight the parts of the output you're interested in: ;; M-x highlight-regexp Total execution time [0-9]+ RET hi-blue-b RET ;; ;; In buffers displaying tables, highlight the lines you're interested in: ;; M-x highlight-lines-matching-regexp January 2000 RET hi-black-b RET ;; ;; When writing text, highlight personal cliches. This can be ;; amusing. ;; M-x highlight-phrase as can be seen RET RET ;; ;; Setup: ;; ;; Put the following code in your .emacs file. This turns on ;; hi-lock mode and adds a "Regexp Highlighting" entry ;; to the edit menu. ;; ;; (hi-lock-mode 1) ;; ;; You might also want to bind the hi-lock commands to more ;; finger-friendly sequences: ;; (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-z\C-h" 'highlight-lines-matching-regexp) ;; (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zi" 'hi-lock-find-patterns) ;; (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zh" 'highlight-regexp) ;; (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zp" 'highlight-phrase) ;; (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zr" 'unhighlight-regexp) ;; (define-key hi-lock-map "\C-zb" 'hi-lock-write-interactive-patterns)) ;; See the documentation for hi-lock-mode `C-h f hi-lock-mode' for ;; additional instructions. ;; Sample file patterns: ; Hi-lock: (("^;;; .*" (0 (quote hi-black-hb) t))) ; Hi-lock: ( ("make-variable-buffer-\\(local\\)" (0 font-lock-keyword-face)(1 'italic append))))) ; Hi-lock: end ;;; Code: (eval-and-compile (require 'font-lock)) ;;;###autoload (defgroup hi-lock-interactive-text-highlighting nil "Interactively add and remove font-lock patterns for highlighting text." :group 'faces) ;;;###autoload (defcustom hi-lock-mode nil "Toggle hi-lock, for interactively adding font-lock text-highlighting patterns." :set (lambda (symbol value) (hi-lock-mode (or value 0))) :initialize 'custom-initialize-default :type 'boolean :group 'hi-lock-interactive-text-highlighting :require 'hi-lock) (defcustom hi-lock-file-patterns-range 10000 "Limit of search in a buffer for hi-lock patterns.
