Hi All,
I'm using emacs to edit journal text files *.jou, for which the
commented lines
starts with the character "/".
I got two working solutions to have emacs recognize the "*.jou" files
and
apply the corresponding comment syntax automatically.
Namely I add to the .emacs file either
(require 'cl)
(push '("\\.jou$" . (lambda () (text-mode) (setf comment-start "/")))
auto-mode-alist)
or
(add-hook 'find-file-hooks
(lambda ()
(when (string-match "\\.jou$" (buffer-file-name))
(setq comment-start "/")
)
)
)
For the moment I'm using the latter macro.
Now I would also like to enable the syntax highlighting for comments.
Does anybody know how I can modify one of the previous code snippets
in order to turn the text of the commented lines into red ?
I appreciate any help.
