I am using emacs/org mode 6.07b on linux (ubuntu Hardy) and am having
a problem with the font lock mode.
adding -*- mode: org; -*- to the file itself works fine, but simply
loading a test.org file doesn't activate org mode.
I have tried commenting out and back in different options in .emacs,
but none seem to work.
I only have these lines in .emacs at the moment.
;;;;;;;;; Org -Mode;;;;;;;;;;
(setq load-path (cons "~/EmacsAddins/Orgmode/lisp" load-path))
(setq load-path (cons "~/EmacsAddins/Orgmode/contrib/lisp" load-path))
(require 'org-install)
;; The following lines are always needed. Choose your own keys.
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)
(global-font-lock-mode 1) ; for all buffers
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock) ; Org buffers only
I presume I am doing something stupid, but can someone tell me what it might be.
Thanks,
Graham

This line looks wrong. What's the extra \\' for after .org?
I have the following:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\)$" . org-mode))
so that any files ending in .org or .org_archive trigger org-mode.

Ah, your comments have made me realise what the problem is. The line
has been copied from the PDF of the manual, but the single apostrophe
doesn't paste properly. I had corrected one but not the other.
Its working now. I did know it was going to be something stupid.
Thanks, your post made me look at this line that much more closely.
