+;;; column-marker.el --- Highlight certain character columns
+;;
+;; Filename: column-marker.el
+;; Description: Highlight certain character columns
+;; Author: Rick Bielawski <rbielaws@i1.net>
+;; Maintainer: Rick Bielawski <rbielaws@i1.net>
+;; Created: Tue Nov 22 10:26:03 2005
+;; Version:
+;; Last-Updated: Fri Jan 22 11:28:48 2010 (-0800)
+;; By: dradams
+;; Update #: 312
+;; Keywords: tools convenience highlight
+;; Compatibility: GNU Emacs 21, GNU Emacs 22, GNU Emacs 23
+;;
+;; Features that might be required by this library:
+;;
+;; None
+;;

+;;
+;;; Commentary:
+;;
+;; Highlights the background at a given character column.
+;;
+;; Commands `column-marker-1', `column-marker-2', and
+;; `column-marker-3' each highlight a given column (using different
+;; background colors, by default).
+;;
+;; - With no prefix argument, each highlights the current column
+;; (where the cursor is).
+;;
+;; - With a non-negative numeric prefix argument, each highlights that
+;; column.
+;;
+;; - With plain `C-u' (no number), each turns off its highlighting.
+;;
+;; - With `C-u C-u', each turns off all column highlighting.
+;;
+;; If two commands highlight the same column, the last-issued
+;; highlighting command shadows the other - only the last-issued
+;; highlighting is seen. If that "topmost" highlighting is then
+;; turned off, the other highlighting for that column then shows
+;; through.
+;;
+;; Examples:
+;;
+;; M-x column-marker-1 highlights the column where the cursor is, in
+;; face `column-marker-1'.
+;;
+;; C-u 70 M-x column-marker-2 highlights column 70 in face
+;; `column-marker-2'.
+;;
+;; C-u 70 M-x column-marker-3 highlights column 70 in face
+;; `column-marker-3'. The face `column-marker-2' highlighting no
+;; longer shows.
+;;
+;; C-u M-x column-marker-3 turns off highlighting for column-marker-3,
+;; so face `column-marker-2' highlighting shows again for column 70.
+;;
+;; C-u C-u M-x column-marker-1 (or -2 or -3) erases all column
+;; highlighting.
+;;
+;; These commands use `font-lock-fontify-buffer', so syntax
+;; highlighting (`font-lock-mode') must be turned on. There might be
+;; a performance impact during refontification.
+;;
+;;
+;; Installation: Place this file on your load path, and put this in
+;; your init file (`.emacs'):
+;;
+;; (require 'column-marker)
+;;
+;; Other init file suggestions (examples):
+;;
+;; ;; Highlight column 80 in foo mode.
+;; (add-hook 'foo-mode-hook (lambda () (interactive) (column-marker-1 80)))
+;;
+;; ;; Use `C-c m' interactively to highlight with face `column-marker-1'.
+;; (global-set-key [?\C-c ?m] 'column-marker-1)
+;;
+;;
+;; Please report any bugs!

+;;; Change log:
+;;
+;; 2009/12/10 dadams
+;; column-marker-internal: Quote the face. Thx to Johan Bockgård.
+;; 2009/12/09 dadams
+;; column-marker-find: fset a symbol to the function, and return the symbol.
+;; 2008/01/21 dadams
+;; Renamed faces by dropping suffix "-face".
+;; 2006/08/18 dadams
+;; column-marker-create: Add newlines to doc-string sentences.
+;; 2005/12/31 dadams
+;; column-marker-create: Add marker to column-marker-vars inside the defun,
+;; so it is done in the right buffer, updating column-marker-vars buffer-locally.
+;; column-marker-find: Corrected comment. Changed or to progn for clarity.
+;; 2005/12/29 dadams
+;; Updated wrt new version of column-marker.el (multi-column characters).
+;; Corrected stray occurrences of column-marker-here to column-marker-1.
+;; column-marker-vars: Added make-local-variable.
+;; column-marker-create: Changed positive to non-negative.
+;; column-marker-internal: Turn off marker when col is negative, not < 1.
+;; 2005-12-29 RGB
+;; column-marker.el now supports multi-column characters.
+;; 2005/11/21 dadams
+;; Combined static and dynamic.
+;; Use separate faces for each marker. Different interactive spec.
+;; 2005/10/19 RGB
+;; Initial release of column-marker.el.
