You mean, you want *more* than what's already there
for buttons etc.?
Check out this file - it isn't help, but the one of
the buffer menus, but you might find the mechanics
interesting for your purposes:
http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/emacs-init/buffer-menu.el
Here are the actual regexps to "help" you to a quick
start:
(defvar buffer-menu-buffer-font-lock-keywords
'(
("\\(KILL\\|my-kill\\) " . font-lock-builtin-face)
("\\*\\(Errors\\|Backtrace\\)\\*" . font-lock-warning-face)
("\\*\\(Group\\|Server\\)\\*" . font-lock-comment-face)
("\\*\\(Help\\|Completions\\|Messages\\|info\\|Apropos\\)\\*"
. font-lock-constant-face)
("\\*\\(ielm\\|Article\\)\\*" .
'font-lock-regexp-grouping-backslash)
(".* \\(.*\\.txt\\) " (1 font-lock-negation-char-face))
("[[:space:]]+\\([[:digit:]]+\\) " (1 font-lock-comment-delimiter-face))
("<.*\\(>\\|\\.\\.\\.\\)" .
'font-lock-regexp-grouping-construct)
("Makefile" . font-lock-comment-face)
("\\(\\*Man\\) \\(.*\\)\\(\\*\\)"
(1 font-lock-type-face)
(2 'font-lock-regexp-grouping-construct)
(3 font-lock-type-face) )
(".* \\(.*\\.\\(el\\|cc?\\|cpp\\)\\) "(1 font-lock-string-face))
("\\*w3m\\*" . font-lock-function-name-face)
(".* \\(.*\\.html?\\) " (1 font-lock-doc-face))
(".* \\(.*\\.\\(hh?\\|tex\\)\\) " (1 font-lock-variable-name-face))
(".* \\(\\.[[:alnum:]_.-]*\\) " (1 font-lock-builtin-face))
))
Be sure to post your results somewhere - here, the
repos (ELPA, MELPA, etc.), the EmacsWiki, #emacs, ...
And come back with more questions if you'd like.
Good luck!
