Re: cannot activate font-lock-mode

[Francesco Potorti`]

I forgot to answer this previously, sorry.  I summarise.

I had this in my local variables section:

 mode: font-lock
 font-lock-keywords: ("^\\S-.*:$")

which worked in Emacs 21, but does not work any more in Emacs 22.  I
solved the problem by writing instead:

 mode: font-lock
 font-lock-defaults: (("^\\S-.*:$"))

I don't know whether this should be mentioned in the NEWS.
