Subject: bug#27133: 26.0.50; Todo-mode multiline item highlighting is broken

From: Stephen Berman <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 29 May 2017 20:19:57 +0200

If a todo-mode item contains more than one line (hard newline), then
typing `H' (`todo-toggle-item-highlighting') only highlights the first
line instead of the entire item.

	Make `todo-toggle-item-highlighting' work on multiline items

	* lisp/calendar/todo-mode.el (todo-hl-line-range): New named
	function, replacing an anonymous function for the sake of
	`describe-variable'.
	(todo-modes-set-2): Use it as buffer-local value of
	hl-line-range-function and remove boundp test of this
	variable, so its value is available on invoking
	`todo-toggle-item-highlighting'.
