Subject: 24.3.50; (minor) grammar fix for (elisp) `Syntactic Font Lock'
Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2012 14:37:20 -0800

Correct this sentence, which is not grammatical:
 
 If the value of this variable is non-`nil', Font Lock does not do
 syntactic fontification, only search-based fontification based on
 `font-lock-keywords'.
 
One possible correction:
 
 If the value of this variable is non-`nil', Font Lock does not do
 syntactic fontification; it does only search-based fontification based
 on `font-lock-keywords'.
 
Also (not bad grammar, but ambiguous), please change "it" to the
variable name or to "the value", here (in several places):
 
 "It is normally set by Font Lock mode..."
