When I insert multiple region comments using the #| |# reader syntax, some of the code between the comments becomes highlighted as if it were part of the comments.

For example, in the blurb below, the third "defun" form is displayed as a comment.

This is a longstanding bug (more like design flaw) in the way that Emacs does font lock. You can put a space before the defun form to avoid this issue.

Thanks a lot for your response. I understand that it is difficult to fix.

How exactly do you arrange the source code to avoid this issue? I tried putting a space before the defun form (on the same line), but the highlighting does not change.

Thanks,

Evan
