— Variable: font-lock-mark-block-function

If this variable is non-nil, it should be a function that is called with no arguments, to choose an enclosing range of text for refontification for the command M-o M-o (font-lock-fontify-block).

The function should report its choice by placing the region around it. A good choice is a range of text large enough to give proper results, but not too large so that refontification becomes slow. Typical values are mark-defun for programming modes or mark-paragraph for textual modes.

— Variable: font-lock-extra-managed-props

This variable specifies additional properties (other than font-lock-face) that are being managed by Font Lock mode. It is used by font-lock-default-unfontify-region, which normally only manages the font-lock-face property. If you want Font Lock to manage other properties as well, you must specify them in a facespec in font-lock-keywords as well as add them to this list. See Search-based Fontification.

— Variable: font-lock-fontify-buffer-function

Function to use for fontifying the buffer. The default value is font-lock-default-fontify-buffer.

— Variable: font-lock-unfontify-buffer-function

Function to use for unfontifying the buffer. This is used when turning off Font Lock mode. The default value is font-lock-default-unfontify-buffer.

— Variable: font-lock-fontify-region-function

Function to use for fontifying a region. It should take two arguments, the beginning and end of the region, and an optional third argument verbose. If verbose is non-nil, the function should print status messages. The default value is font-lock-default-fontify-region.

— Variable: font-lock-unfontify-region-function

Function to use for unfontifying a region. It should take two arguments, the beginning and end of the region. The default value is font-lock-default-unfontify-region.
