Do we want to give a recommendation at all? I suggest simply keeping silent. Setting font-lock-keywords in file-local variables is a hack---it's not documented in the Emacs manual, and it's not something we want to encourage users to do, due to security concerns. Advanced users can search the web to find the workarounds discussed in this thread, or they can simply use hi-lock mode (which *is* documented in the Emacs manual). _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
