Re: sh mode for region only ?

[Alexandre Oberlin]

Thanks Doug for your answer.

Actually changing the mode of the buffer (be it narrowed, cloned or not) 
does not consistently help, because even if it is not seen, the non code 
text impacts on the code highlighting.

Even with standalone code blocks or delimiters, I can't see how to get 
this to work without commenting out the non code sections.
