Semantic Syntax Highlighting for Lisp Languages in Emacs

Semantic Syntax Highlighting for Common Lisp & Elisp in Emacs, based on the informations of the global Lisp environment

Usage

Load lisp-semantic-hl.el, then enable lisp-semantic-hl minor mode under emacs-lisp-mode or lisp-mode.

Sample configuration with MELPA:

(use-package lisp-semantic-hl
  :ensure t
  :hook ((emacs-lisp-mode lisp-mode) . lisp-semantic-hl-mode))

Goals

• Semantic syntax highlight based on the information of the lexical environment for Common Lisp using environment inquiry APIs from CLtL2 and code injection
• Better support for macros
