Hello,	

I am using Epoch3.2 and have some problems with the highlighting of text. 
I use the hilit.el package of Paul Nakada and I have the following problems

	(1) I cannot use any color other than red, blue and green for 
	    highlighting the comments, function headers prototypes etc.

	(2) When I use the mouse to select a region and if the region has 
	    a highlighted portion (e.g. comments, function headers etc) then 
	    only the first line gets the motion foreground and motion backgnd
	    settings. The rest of the lines although selected do not change. 
	    This problem does not occur when there is regular text which has
	    not been highlighted.

	(3) Is it possible to change the font in the highlighted region?

Has anyone else had such problems?  What has to be done to fix it? 

Thanks 

Bikash

Yes, same here. Can the motion styles be made to evrride the highlight
styles, Paul?

try modifying your c-mode-hilit. The actual color defns are in the
initialization part of the code...



(setq c-mode-hilit
      '(("/\\*" "\\*/" 6)
	("^[_a-zA-Z][^=\n]*(\\(.*;\\|[^{]*\\)" nil 2) ;; fn decls
	("^#.*" nil 13)
	("^typedef.*" nil 12)
	("^struct.*" nil 12)
	("^enum.*" nil 12)))

That's because they all buttons. If you hilit::unhilit-buffer you can
use the mouse cut and paste. You can hilight it again using
hilit::hilit-buffer.
