169
170 When Just-in-time Lock mode is enabled, fontification is different in the
171 following ways:
172
173 - Demand-driven buffer fontification triggered by Emacs C code.
174 This means initial fontification of the whole buffer does not occur.
175 Instead, fontification occurs when necessary, such as when scrolling
176 through the buffer would otherwise reveal unfontified areas. This is
177 useful if buffer fontification is too slow for large buffers.
178
179 - Stealthy buffer fontification if `jit-lock-stealth-time' is non-nil.
180 This means remaining unfontified areas of buffers are fontified if Emacs has
181 been idle for `jit-lock-stealth-time' seconds, while Emacs remains idle.
182 This is useful if any buffer has any deferred fontification.
183
184 - Deferred context fontification if `jit-lock-defer-contextually' is
185 non-nil. This means fontification updates the buffer corresponding to
186 true syntactic context, after `jit-lock-stealth-time' seconds of Emacs
187 idle time, while Emacs remains idle. Otherwise, fontification occurs
188 on modified lines only, and subsequent lines can remain fontified
189 corresponding to previous syntactic contexts. This is useful where
190 strings or comments span lines.
191
192 Stealth fontification only occurs while the system remains unloaded.
193 If the system load rises above `jit-lock-stealth-load' percent, stealth
194 fontification is suspended. Stealth fontification intensity is controlled via
195 the variable `jit-lock-stealth-nice'."
