Is it possible to highlight a region and tell Emacs to (use A-mode instead of B-mode)?The simplest way to do this is to use 'clone-indirect-buffer' (C-x 4 c) and use A-mode in the original buffer and B-mode in the cloned buffer. Put the two buffers in adjacent windows and switch between them when you want the features of the other mode. See the Info node (emacs)Indirect Buffers.
Wow, that is really cool! Especially if you narrow each buffer to show just the parts relevant to that mode. -- Kevin Rodgers
