Help: how to extend org-mode markup?

Help: how to extend org-mode markup?

[Pierre-Henry F.]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 528 bytes --]

Hello,

I would like to extend the org-mode markup.

For example, I would like to change the face of a keyword, say: :next: .

Whenever :next: is displayed from an org-mode buffer, it should show up in using an arbitrary face.

I tried this:

(defun org-add-my-extra-markup ()
(add-to-list 'org-font-lock-extra-keywords
'("[^\\w]\\(:next:\\)[^\\w]"
(1 font-lock-warning-face t))))

(add-hook 'org-font-lock-set-keywords-hook #'org-add-my-extra-markup)

But it does not work.

So: how to extend org-mode markup?

Many thanks,
PHF

Hello,

In your example, `:next:' is a tag. Tags and keywords are different
entities.
https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html

You should be able to do what you want by customizing `org-tag-faces'.

Yours,
Christian

It is internal variable. You should not use it.

Simply use font-lock-add-keywords instead.

Best,
Ihor

Re: Help: how to extend org-mode markup?

[Pierre-Henry F.]

Thank you very much for your replies.

Here is the use case:

|-----------+--------|
| something | :next: |
|-----------+--------|

I would like :next: to show up using an arbitrary face.


As suggested by Ihor, I tried:

(font-lock-add-keywords 'org-mode
  '(("\\W\\(:next:\\)\\W" 1 font-lock-warning-face prepend)))

in my init.el

It does not work either.


@Christian yes, it's the same syntax as tags, I would like to extend it eventually.


Thanks,
PHF

One alternative, that I use for specific org files, is
~hi-lock-mode~.  Based on regular expressions, you can highlight any
bits you want without affecting the underlying org font lock settings.

[Christian Moe]

Please disregard my response. I misunderstood both your intention and
the use of font-lock keywords. Sorry for the noise. :-(

Yours,
Christian

You need to fontify it _after_ all other org-mode font settings:

(font-lock-add-keywords 'org-mode
  '(("\\W\\(:next:\\)\\W" 1 font-lock-warning-face prepend) 'append))

Best,
Ihor

Re: Help: how to extend org-mode markup?

[Ihor Radchenko]

Sorry, misplaced the argument. 'append should be the last argument to
font-lock-add-keywords:

(font-lock-add-keywords 'org-mode
  '(("\\W\\(:next:\\)\\W" 1 font-lock-warning-face prepend)) 'append)
