Root Types highligting in Emacs

aapresya · October 1, 2006, 3:04pm

Hi Forum,
How do we get emacs to highlight root variable types, like Int_t or Double_t?
I installed root from mirror.phy.bnl.gov/debian-root/ apt-get repo.

Thanks a lot!

I simply have a .emacs file in my home directory with

(global-font-lock-mode t)

and that seems to do the trick. Take a look at the screenshot, including the only contents of my .emacs file on the left.

Well, as funny as it is, that doesn’t do it.

Are you running ‘emacs’ or ‘xemacs’? (Does your toolbar look just like the one in the image above?)

Note that RH and some others decided to make ‘emacs’ command run ‘xemacs’

I have emacs. I even installed xemacs to give it a try, still no go.
