When Emacs is running diff itself, it could start the output off with an appropriate -*- type string overriding a possible local variables block. Or it could append a solitary ^L to the output (which is the normal way of telling Emacs not to look further backward for a local variables section). > One idea is to restrict what strings can be used as the "prefix" in > a local variables list, so that local variables lists in diff output > are not obeyed. > > Meanwhile, I think it is also a bug that Font-Lock in C mode parses > most of the file, even when given data that isn't really C. Well, one would need a "give up" heuristic then. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
