Package: cxref
Version: 1.5c-9
Severity: wishlist
Cxref is a really cool embedded documentation extraction tool. But one
difficulty I often encounter is that I make dumb LaTeX or HTML mistakes
within the comments, which could easily have been prevented by the
syntax highlighting available in HTML or LaTeX modes in emacs.
So what would be really cool is if there could be a hook in the C/C++
mode highlighting which could recognize +html+ and +latex+ in cxref
comments, and highlight those lines appropriately.
Yes, I know this would be hard, and would require coordination with the
emacs lisp people who do the C and C++ modes. I guess one necessary
step might be to convince them to put hooks in which would make this
possible/easier. But it would be really cool, and could enable other
auto-extraction tools to do this same thing (e.g. for docbook
generators), so I'm opening this in case some hacker sees it and knows
how to do it without too much trouble.
Feel free to reassign to emacs(en-common?) if you think that's appropriate.
Thanks for packaging this great tool!

If I understand correctly, this is a request for multi-mode support
(eg having bits of latex within a C mode buffer).
This is a long-standing Emacs feature request that upstream Emacs are well
aware of.
Various third-party libraries try to add it, but nothing's ever gotten it right
as far as I know. I'm afraid I don't think this 12 year-old Debian bug will get
it implemented any sooner, so there does not seem any point keeping it open.
