Multi-character parentheses in a syntax table
I know I can have multi-character comment delimiters, but what about multi-character parentheses, for example. if I wanted to treat the sequence of characters "% {" as an opening parenthesis and "}%" as a closing one like this
% {
}%

Emacs does not support this, see the info entry for syntax tables . Comments (and lines) have appropriate delimiters, but they also have corresponding "generic" syntax classes . The parenthesis class does not have similar support.
So you are only stuck with single parentheses.
