Hi,
I'm working on an emacs editing mode for Quickbook. One peculiarity
of the syntax of Quickbook interacts badly with a peculiarity of
emacs' font-lock (syntax highlighting) design:
in
[' ... ]
the single quote character is not required to be matched, so
syntactically, it acts just like punctuation, but in
'''
...
'''
the quote character acts like a string quote.
Just FYI, this contextual choice makes it more difficult than it would
otherwise be to write the mode, since emacs' builtin paren-balancing
functionality looks at these character-level syntax tables.
