One quite reliable solution is to store the original values of prefix/suffix strings in the Local Variables section by adding new variables `local-variables-prefix' and `local-variables-suffix', e.g.:
-/* Local Variables: */ -/* local-variables-prefix:"/* " */ -/* local-variables-suffix:" */" */ -/* mode:c */ It is a good idea in principle, but adopting it would require an annoying change for the users' files. Of course, this wouldn't work with existing Local-Variables sections, All files with existing Local-Variables sections that use a prefix or suffix would have to be changed. We could not make them "work anyway" since then the feature would not do its job. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
