Alternatively, you can use Global Font Lock mode to automagically turn on Font
-Lock mode in buffers whose major mode supports it, or in buffers whose major
-mode is one of `font-lock-global-modes'. For example, put in your ~/.emacs:

-Font Lock mode has a number of support modes that may be used to speed up Font
-Lock mode in various ways. See the variable `font-lock-support-mode'.

-Where modes support different levels of fontification, you can use the variable
+There are a number of support modes that may be used to speed up Font Lock mode
+in various ways, specified via the variable `font-lock-support-mode'. Where
+major modes support different levels of fontification, you can use the variable
`font-lock-maximum-decoration' to specify which level you generally prefer.
When you turn Font Lock mode on/off the buffer is fontified/defontified, though
fontification occurs only if the buffer is less than `font-lock-maximum-size'.
+For example, to specify that Font Lock mode use use Lazy Lock mode as a support
+mode and use maximum levels of fontification, put in your ~/.emacs:
+
+ (setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode)
+ (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)

To fontify a buffer, without turning on Font Lock mode and regardless of buffer
size, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-buffer].
To fontify a block (the function or paragraph containing point, or a number of
lines around point), perhaps because modification on the current line caused
-syntactic change on other lines, you can use \\[font-lock-fontify-block]."
