[5.2.2] proper highlighting setup?

[5.2.2] proper highlighting setup?

[Paul D. Smith]

The default value of gnus-article-display-hook contains
gnus-article-maybe-highlight.

I want furious fruit salad, so I want to use gnus-article-highlight.

Is there any "approved" way to get this that's cleaner than:

  (remove-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook 'gnus-article-maybe-highlight)
  (add-hook    'gnus-article-display-hook 'gnus-article-highlight)

?

As of 19.31 you can delete fontification hooks, assuming the mode
supports font-lock-mode.

(global-font-lock-mode t)

I have this.  This turns on/off font-lock, but to control _what_ gets
font-locked you have to modify these hooks.  GNUS fontification is too
complex to be controlled with a simple font-lock-maximum-decoration
variable.

See the docs for gnus-article-maybe-highlight and
gnus-article-highlight, and try them yourself to see the difference.

Come to think of it, though, it'd be _really_ nice if there was a
mapping in gnus-article-maybe-highlight between
font-lock-maximum-decoration and the various article fontification
options for articles; then you could leave the hook function as
gnus-article-maybe-highlight and raise the font-lock-maximum-decoration
levels to get more fontification in articles.

No, that's the canonical way to do things like that.  Or you can just
set `gnus-article-display-hook' to the list of functions you want.  My
version of that hook contains something like 10 functions.
