modify-syntax-entry / syntax coloring

[Dieter Demerre]

L.S.,

I've defined two small syntax' for specific files.
one of them has to color @-following text on a line as comment (different
of other text).  quoted text (strings) should NOT be colored.
the other has the same specs except that comment is /* - */ delimited and
can be multi-lined.

Now I can disable the quote-coloring for the @-syntax, but this does not
work for the /* - */ syntax.  syntax coloring doesn't work there anymore.

Does anymody has any suggestion on this part ?

- --mode_croll.el---" works fine !! " -------------------------
(if ebp-croll-mode-syntax-table
    ()
  (let ((table (make-syntax-table)))
    (modify-syntax-entry ?@ "< a" table)
    (modify-syntax-entry ?\n "> a" table)
    (modify-syntax-entry ?\" " " table)
    (setq ebp-croll-mode-syntax-table table)
  )
)
- --------------------------------------------------------------

above extract works fine, but now in the following, modifying ?\" to " "
will cause syntax-coloring to be disabled, not mentioning it will cause
strings to be colored as strings again, which I don't want

- --mode_start.el---" won't work like I want it to "----------
(if ebp-star-mode-syntax-table
    ()
  (let ((table (make-syntax-table)))
    (modify-syntax-entry ?/ "  14" table)
    (modify-syntax-entry ?* "  23" table)
    (modify-syntax-entry ?\" " " table)
    (setq ebp-star-mode-syntax-table table)
  )
)
