10000

Documentation

Maximum line length for syntax operations.

If lines are longer than that, syntax operations will treat them as chunks of this size. Misfontification may then occur. This is a tradeoff between correctly applying the syntax rules, and avoiding major slowdown on pathologically long lines.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 29.1.
