"Mode-specific function to apply `syntax-table' text properties.
The value of this variable is a function to be called by Font
Lock mode, prior to performing syntactic fontification on a
stretch of text. It is given two arguments, START and END: the
start and end of the text to be fontified. Major modes can
specify a custom function to apply `syntax-table' properties to
override the default syntax table in special cases.
It is the work horse of `syntax-propertize', which is called by things like
Font-Lock and indentation.
It is given two arguments, START and END: the start and end of the text to
which `syntax-table' might need to be applied. Major modes can use this to
override the buffer's syntax table for special syntactic constructs that
cannot be handled just by the buffer's syntax-table.
The specified function may call `syntax-ppss' on any position
before END, but it should not call `syntax-ppss-flush-cache',
