This section describes functions for moving across characters in
certain syntax classes. None of these functions exists in Emacs
version 18 or earlier.
- Function: skip-syntax-forward syntaxes &optional limit buffer
-
This function moves point forward across characters having syntax classes
mentioned in syntaxes. It stops when it encounters the end of
the buffer, or position limit (if specified), or a character it is
not supposed to skip. Optional argument buffer defaults to the
current buffer if omitted.
- Function: skip-syntax-backward syntaxes &optional limit buffer
-
This function moves point backward across characters whose syntax
classes are mentioned in syntaxes. It stops when it encounters
the beginning of the buffer, or position limit (if specified), or a
character it is not supposed to skip. Optional argument buffer
defaults to the current buffer if omitted.
- Function: backward-prefix-chars &optional buffer
-
This function moves point backward over any number of characters with
expression prefix syntax. This includes both characters in the
expression prefix syntax class, and characters with the `p' flag.
Optional argument buffer defaults to the current buffer if
omitted.
