Re: How to highlight columns?

Sorry, forgot:

list-matching-lines for regex .\{80\}.+
will show lines longer than 80 chars (i.e., without using foint-lock).

Sorry, no time to test in font lock, but, start with the regex:

.\{80\}.+

Shows lines longer than 80 chars.

Add a grouping to isolate the after 80 stuff:
.\{80\}\(.+\)

Then add to your font-lock list...
...
'(".\\{80\\}\\(.\\)"                  1 font-lock-string-face)
...

I'm guessing that's a start...
Hope it helps.

I'd like to highlight all text/code that's beyond column 80.
I cannot figure how to set font-lock to do that, not how to write an
interactive functions to do that.

Any ideas?
