-@defvar font-lock-lines-before
-This variable specifies the number of extra lines to consider when
-refontifying the buffer after each text change.  Font lock begins

-multi-line patterns.  This variable is ignored whenever
-@code{font-lock-extend-region-function} is set and returns a
-non-@code{nil} value.
-@end defvar
