Hello:
The following form is used to provide syntax highlighting for
a 'lisp variant. The regex expression for 'font-lock-string-face
doesn't work. The other forms do work as expected.
(cond (running-xemacs)  ;; Xemacs doesn't have 'font-lock-add-keywords
  (t
    (make-local-variable 'lisp-font-lock-keywords-tj)
    (defvar newlisp-font-lock-keywords-tj  ;; faces defined in 'extra-faces
    (list
      (list tj-newlisp-user-keywords '1 'font-lock-user-keyword-face)
      (list tj-newlisp-user-lib-keywords '1 'font-lock-user-lib-face)
      (list tj-newlisp-constant-keywords '1 'font-lock-constant-face)
      '("\\[text\\][^\"]*[.]*[^\"]*\\[/text\\]" 1 font-lock-string-face t) ;; 
This one doesn't work
      ) "Additional keywords and groups for lisp-mode")))
;; .......

The regex is meant to highlight the delimiters "[text]" & "[/text]" and
everything between (multi-line string literal). The regex itself was tested 
with re-builder, seems
to work there. 

Can anyone tell me what else I need to do here? 

TIA
tim
