Description of the syntax. This table describes character categories,
brackets, quotes, comment, sentences and paragraphs. See class syntax_table
and notably syntax_table->syntax
for details.
Initially this slot is filled with the built-in syntax_table
object named default.
The text_buffer's text_buffer<-syntax
table is used by many methods on class text_buffer
and class editor to
recognise words, matching braces, comment, etc. Syntax tables are used
extensively by PceEmacs.
See also text_buffer<-scan, text_buffer->in_comment, text_buffer<-skip_comment,
and
text_buffer->for_all_comments
