Hi all,
It's great how #+begin_src blocks support 'native' syntax highlighting,
but inline src_lang{} blocks don't seem to be formatted/highlighted at
all.
I'm wondering why this is. Might anyone know?
Also, if this is just a case of no-one bothering to provide that
functionality would there be any interest in me submitting
https://tecosaur.github.io/emacs-config/config.html#fontifying-inline-src
as a patch? (see https://0x0.st/-ZRa.png for a preview, this also
includes prettifying {{{results()}}}, which I'm quite a fan of).

Possibly because nobody had done it before? Or maybe it slows things
down too much. I don't know but I would definitely be interested in
having this feature; your screenshot looks good.

I may well submit a patch them :) Org doesn't seem any slower to me, and
it's not really doing much more that we're doing already AFAICT so I
think it would be good to include.
If I submit a patch will we be waiting till Bastien is active on the ML
again? If so I'll likely just PR this to Doom in the meantime and submit
a patch when Bastien is back.

It seems to work great here.
Best,

Update: I've been using
https://tecosaur.github.io/emacs-config/config.html#fontifying-inline-src
for a while now and it seems to work out, there's just one thing I
haven't been able to work out --- how to have font-lock apply to
*multiple* inline src blocks on one line.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Once I've got this sorted
I'll probably make a patch.

Hi,
I don't use inline src blocks, but your work makes me want to start !

With multiple inline src blocks that each have a result part,
fontification appears to work.
I think there are these two issues with the code :
- When an inline src blocks has no matching result part,
`org-fontify-inline-src-blocks-1` returns nil. It should return t
instead, then it will be called again, to fontify the next block.
- If an inline src block without results is followed by a src block
with results, your function skips over the second src block.
Perhaps you should assume that only whitespace separates a src
block and its results (this is already assumed for subsequent
evaluations of the block to replace the results).
Regards,

Thanks Sébastien and Ihor :) I've combined a bit of both of your
suggestions. See
https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-config/commit/1afd9eaca.

TBH I'm not quite sure what should be done here the way I've structured
things, but following Ihor's suggestion and changing `when' to `while'
worked. I checked with highlight-refontification and it seems like this
doesn't result in spurious fortification (I guess "limit" is set well).

Nice catch, thanks! I think I've got this handled much better now :)
If you have any further advice, please don't hesitate to share.

I think you just need to replace `when' with `while' in the following line:
(when (re-search-forward "\\_<src_\\([^ \t\n[{]+\\)[{[]?" limit t)
