+@defun jit-lock-register function &optional contextual
+This function tells Font Lock mode to run the Lisp function
+@var{function} any time it has to fontify or refontify part of the
+current buffer.  It calls @var{function} before calling the default
+fontification functions, and gives it two arguments, @var{start} and
+@var{end}, which specify the region to be fontified or refontified.
+
+The optional argument @var{contextual}, if non-@code{nil}, forces Font
+Lock mode to always refontify a syntactically relevant part of the
+buffer, and not just the modified lines.  This argument can usually be
+omitted.
+@end defun
+
+@defun jit-lock-unregister function
+If @var{function} was previously registered as a fontification
+function using @code{jit-lock-register}, this function unregisters it.
