Questions tagged [flymake]

Flymake is a minor editing mode for Emacs that performs on-the-fly syntax checks on the contents of your current buffer as you edit it, highlighting errors and warnings against the lines they occur on.

Flymake currently has in-built support for C/C++, Java, XML, Perl, PHP and Tex, there are also plugins available for Python and Ruby.

Some useful places to get started:

Flymake mode has been bundled with Emacs since v23, prior to that you needed to manually install it.

Is it possible to make flymake-mode be aware of syntax (or other) errors in racket files like it done for example for erlang or python? I'm using geiser-mode for racket, if it is matters.
