Hi!

I have been trying to make emacs show matching round and square brackets so that I could use meta parser from http://home.pipeline.com/~hbaker1/Prag-Parse.html. I have been using lispbox from http://gigamonkeys.com/book/lispbox which have slime (from cvs 10.1.2006) bundled. I also tried latest cvs version of slime to see if it would work better. I'm using mic-paren module for showing matching parenthesis. I have edited lisp-mode.el from emacs so that it should show matching parenthesis:

(defvar emacs-lisp-mode-syntax-table (let ((table (make-syntax-table))) . . . (modify-syntax-entry ?( "() " table) (modify-syntax-entry ?) ")( " table) (modify-syntax-entry ?[ "(] " table) (modify-syntax-entry ?] ")[ " table) (modify-syntax-entry ?{ "(} " table) (modify-syntax-entry ?} "){ " table)) table))

(defvar lisp-mode-syntax-table (let ((table (copy-syntax-table emacs-lisp-mode-syntax-table))) (modify-syntax-entry ?[ "(] " table) (modify-syntax-entry ?] ")[ " table) (modify-syntax-entry ?{ "(} " table) (modify-syntax-entry ?} "){ " table) (modify-syntax-entry ?# "' 14bn" table) (modify-syntax-entry ?| "" 23b" table) table))

When I checked syntax table mappings in slime mode I got this:

[ _ which means: symbol ] .. _ _ which means: symbol { _ which means: symbol } .. DEL _ which means: symbol

and then

The parent syntax table is:

[ (] which means: open, matches ] ] )[ which means: close, matches [ { (} which means: open, matches } } ){ which means: close, matches {

So is there anything that I could do to make things work?

Yours sincerely,
