It can be used to determine where words, symbols, and other syntactic constructs begin and end. This information is used by many Emacs facilities, including Font Lock mode (see <a href="font-lock-mode">Font Lock Mode</a>) and the various complex movement commands (see <a href="motion">Motion</a>). </p> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="syntax-basics" accesskey="1">Basics</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Basic concepts of syntax tables. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="syntax-descriptors" accesskey="2">Syntax Descriptors</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">How characters are classified. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="syntax-table-functions" accesskey="3">Syntax Table Functions</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">How to create, examine and alter syntax tables. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="syntax-properties" accesskey="4">Syntax Properties</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Overriding syntax with text properties. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="motion-and-syntax" accesskey="5">Motion and Syntax</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Moving over characters with certain syntaxes. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="parsing-expressions" accesskey="6">Parsing Expressions</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Parsing balanced expressions using the syntax table. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="syntax-table-internals" accesskey="7">Syntax Table Internals</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">How syntax table information is stored. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="categories" accesskey="8">Categories</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Another way of classifying character syntax. </td> +</tr> </table><div class="_attribution"> + <p class="_attribution-p"> + Copyright © 1990-1996, 1998-2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <br>Licensed under the GNU GPL license.<br> + <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Syntax-Tables.html" class="_attribution-link">https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Syntax-Tables.html</a> + </p> +</div> |
