Question/Feature: Ignore less then, more than symbols (<>).

[BuddhiLW]

More often than not, when I'm using rainbow mode in org-files, the symbols <, >, mess up my file font locking.

Is there a way to configure so that rainbow-mode does not try to match these, or ignore them?

rainbow-delimiters intentionally has no logic that determines what characters are delimiters, that's provided by the major mode in the form of a syntax table. If the major mode indicates that < and > are paired delimiters, even though that's not necessarily true, it's a bug in that major mode and affects all consumers of syntax table data, not just rainbow-delimiters.

An alternative solution to fix it within rainbow-delimiters would be #1, but getting that PR into a remotely usable form is… difficult.

Just making sure: at this point, there is no way to remove the delimiters < and > for rainbow-delimiters specifically, right?

[Fanael]

Right.
