Tony and Daniel, thanks. I know font-locking i.e. i have the following in my
.emacs file

;; Enabling font lock globally
(global-font-lock-mode 1)
(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t) ;; maximum font-lock

But I would like additionally to:
- colorize fields in NAMESPACE, DESCRIPTION
- how to colorize function names, brackets, ...

R wiki is using some "engine" to do this and as far as I understood, it
is written in PHP and I am wondering if this might be easily ported also
to ESS?
