I think any function ending in '-mode' would be valid If you open a file and it automatically loads the correct mode the mode is listed on the modeline in () e.g. while composing this message it's (Message MML Fly OrgStruct) as major mode and minor modes. There's a variable 'auto-mode-alist' (C-h v auto-mode-alist) which lists the mappings of filenames to modes. I have entries like this in mine: ("\\.txt$" . outline-mode) ("\\.css\\'" . css-mode) ("\\.py\\'" . python-mode) etc so for *.py files which use python-mode #+BEGIN_SRC python def foo(): print "in foo" 10 if __name__ == '__main__': foo() #+END_SRC HTH, Bernt PS.
