font-lock and regexp-opt

[Mads Jensen]

Hi NG,

I am trying to write my first major mode, where I'd like to use
font-lock-mode to colorize some words. I browsed some code, and saw that
people are using regexp-opt for this, so I went with this approach,
too. Therefore, I have:

(defconst inducks-keywords 
  (regexp-opt '(...) t) "inducks fields to colorize")

And wrote the following:

(defconst inducks-font-heroes
  (list 
   (cons 
    (concat "\\<\\(" inducks-keywords "\\)\\>")
    'inducks-keyword)))

Is this a good way to do it ? It doesn't compile. I posted the entire
file here: http://mads.har-talt.dk/inducks.el (I am concentrating on
writing the font-lock part at the moment)

I am a total newbie in Emacs Lisp, but prefer trying to write something
useful instead of doing a lot of exercises. Naturally I read
documentation and tutorials, too.

It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so
ingenious.
