:-) I want to highlight "second" as in (second lst)
or "second" as in (std:second lst)
I created an intermediary solution by adding a group
with ":\\(" as the left regex. Works as I want...
The full solution might be something like this (I think,
but haven't combined them and haven't tested)
":\\(\\|\\<\\(" Where the alternatives are 1)empty string
2)colon
Unfortunately, I don't code elisp or elisp regexes for a living
and I tend to forget most of what I've learned from one session to
another.
I believe that your logical explanation put me on the right track.
thanks
