Dear Vitalie,
This seems to work beautifully! I already love it, especially for .Rmd
files. Polymode, adopted!
I still have a few error messages, which do not seem to translate into real
effects. Right after opening a .Rmd file:
Error during redisplay: (jit-lock-function 1) signaled (wrong-type-argument
stringp nil)
Error during redisplay: (jit-lock-function 522) signaled
(wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
And from time to time (but I can't seem to find the pattern when it
occurs), I have the same error message, but for functions 110, 682, 1042,
1201, 1561, 1720, 2591...
I really don't know if this is problematic, since I can't see any troubles
with it...
Thanks a lot for your work, it is so good to be able to use Emacs properly
on .Rmd files!
Mathieu.
