I think comments look better when the delimiters appear in a slightly more washed-out color. Having the delimiters and text in completely different colors is just distracting, but I find a slight difference in color actually helps me focus on the text. It's not a big deal, but I just wanted to mention that while the current implementation may be lacking, I don't think there's anything wrong with the idea. (Though as Richard has been saying, it would be cleaner to instead add `font-lock-comment-text-face'.) I don't think the feature is trivial, and it is currently very rough. For example, it would be nice to have comments such as the following be fontified in the expected way: /* * foobarbaz.c --- do that stuff with the thing * * This file is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published * by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, * or (at your option) any later version. * * [...] */ I understand the people who think that the best thing to do for now is to rename the face to refer to mail specifically and ``stop the madness about comment delimiters,'' as Stefan put it. This feature can wait until after the release. -- Daniel Brockman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
