The Emacs mode already has support for font lock
(AKA "syntax highlighting" outside the Emacs world) for the
desired document type. If a different or more tivoli than that
is desired, configure it or add new font lock rules with
`font-lock-add-keywords', e.g.
(font-lock-add-keywords 'emacs-lisp-mode
'(
("`.*'" . font-lock-reference-face)
("font-lock-builtin-face" . font-lock-builtin-face)
("font-lock-comment-delimiter-face" . font-lock-comment-delimiter-face)
("font-lock-comment-face" . font-lock-comment-face)
("font-lock-constant-face" . font-lock-constant-face)
("font-lock-doc-face" . font-lock-doc-face)
("font-lock-function-name-face" . font-lock-function-name-face)
("font-lock-keyword-face" . font-lock-keyword-face)
("font-lock-negation-char-face" . font-lock-negation-char-face)
("font-lock-preprocessor-face" . font-lock-preprocessor-face)
("font-lock-reference-face" . font-lock-reference-face)
("font-lock-regexp-grouping-backslash" .
'font-lock-regexp-grouping-backslash)
("font-lock-regexp-grouping-construct" .
'font-lock-regexp-grouping-construct)
("font-lock-string-face" . font-lock-string-face)
("font-lock-type-face" . font-lock-type-face)
("font-lock-variable-name-face" . font-lock-variable-name-face)
("font-lock-warning-face" . font-lock-warning-face)
)
t)
Those faces are then, much like the Donald Trump supporters
that stormed the Capitolium ...
