42 A syntax table is a char table of type `syntax' (see `make-char-table').
43 The valid values are integers (intended to be syntax codes as generated by
44 `syntax-string-to-code'), and the default result given by `get-char-table'
45 is the syntax code for `word'. (Note: In 21.4 and prior, it was the code
46 for `inherit'.)
47
48 To modify a syntax table, you should normally use `modify-syntax-entry'
49 rather than directly modify the table with `put-char-table'.

52 to indicate the various syntax classes."
