Hi Stefano, I found some time to hack on beancount-mode. You can find the progress here https://bitbucket.org/daniele/beancount/src/default/editors/emacs/beancount.el (unfortunately I botched the split of my changes in independent patches, I'll probably rewrite history at some point)
I significantly reworked fontification and I think I solved some of your complaints below. Please test the changes and let me know.

It works for me using fundamental-mode as major mode.

You need something like (setq beancount-highlight-transaction-at-point t) to enable it. Cheers, Dan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
