I am looking to set up a syntax table for a major mode, and many of the examples, such as lisp-mode-syntax-table
have entries like the following:
(modify-syntax-entry ?\[ "_ " table)
My question that I cannot seem to find in the Info nor in the help text is this: What do the three (3) spaces after the _
mean?
I know that \[
is a symbol constituent ('_'). But what do the three (3) spaces in the string after the underscore mean?
How does the following code differ from the example in the Info manual and the value used in lisp-mode.el
, given above?
(modify-syntax-entry ?\[ "_" table)
