What I am doing wrong? Sounds like known bug in emacs-19.30. You didn't mention what emacs you are using, but if your emacs is 19.30 following patch to emacs-19.30/src/syntax.h should fix the problem: *** syntax.h 1995/10/29 04:38:08 1.11 --- syntax.h 1995/12/23 09:22:16 *************** *** 118,124 **** = RAW_SYNTAX_ENTRY (current_buffer->syntax_table, (c)), \ (NILP (syntax_temp) \ ?
