Variable: lazy-lock-defer-contextually

lazy-lock-defer-contextually is a customizable variable defined in lazy-lock.el.gz.

Value

syntax-driven

Documentation

If non-nil, means deferred fontification should be syntactically true.

If nil, means deferred fontification occurs only on those lines modified. This means where modification on a line causes syntactic change on subsequent lines, those subsequent lines are not refontified to reflect their new context. If t, means deferred fontification occurs on those lines modified and all subsequent lines. This means those subsequent lines are refontified to reflect their new syntactic context, either immediately or when scrolling into them. If any other value, e.g., syntax-driven, means deferred syntactically true fontification occurs only if syntactic fontification is performed using the buffer mode's syntax table, i.e., only if font-lock-keywords-only is nil.

The value of this variable is used when Lazy Lock mode is turned on.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 20.1.
