Function: conf-quote-normal

conf-quote-normal is an interactive and byte-compiled function defined in conf-mode.el.gz.

Signature

(conf-quote-normal ARG)

Documentation

Set the syntax of ' and " to punctuation.

With prefix ARG, only do it for \\=' if 1, or only for " if 2. This only affects the current buffer. Some conf files use quotes to delimit strings, while others allow quotes as simple parts of the assigned value. In those files font locking will be wrong, and you can correct it with this command. (Some files even do both, i.e. quotes delimit strings, except when they are unbalanced, but hey...)
