I cannot say that I like or dislike it, but in fact AUCTeX is already using it in order to allow a user to specify lists of LaTeX macros which should get a special fontification. For the special fontification one can either select a face already present or specify face attributes. Without the possibility to use face attributes the choices would be rather limited if you don't expect a user to define his own faces. I hope this feature will stay and mentioning it in the documentation for `font-lock-keywords' would make me feel more confident that it will. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
