Is there a reasonable way to use two differing delimiters
for strings for font-lock purposes?
Concretely, what I am doing is this: I am trying to define a
`text-mode'-like mode with define-generic-mode that will
fontify strings set off with quotes; but I am also using
typopunct-mode to get "smart" quotes, “like this.”
So in the buffer, strings are not marked off by a single
character, but a pair of matching characters, like
parentheses.
I have tried something along the lines of --
(modify-syntax-entry ?“ "\"")
(modify-syntax-entry ?” "\"")
and then later
'("\\s\"\\|\\s|" . font-lock-string-face)
This almost works, but it doesn’t end fontification at the
close-quote, and instead continues until it finds the next
open quote, where it then ends fontification.
Perhaps the answer is to define them as open and close
delimiters, but then I don’t know how to create a regexp to
fontify everything within those delimiters. So... that’s as
far as I’ve gotten.
