7 Syntax highlighting *syntax* *syntax-highlighting* *coloring* | |
8 | |
9 Syntax highlighting enables Vim to show parts of the text in another font or | |
10 color. Those parts can be specific keywords or text matching a pattern. Vim | |
11 doesn't parse the whole file (to keep it fast), so the highlighting has its | |
12 limitations. Lexical highlighting might be a better name, but since everybody | |
13 calls it syntax highlighting we'll stick with that. | |
14 | |
15 Vim supports syntax highlighting on all terminals. But since most ordinary | |
16 terminals have very limited highlighting possibilities, it works best in the | |
17 GUI version, gvim. | |
18 | |
19 In the User Manual: | |
20 |usr_06.txt| introduces syntax highlighting. | |
21 |usr_44.txt| introduces writing a syntax file. | |

47 disabled at compile time. | |

49 ============================================================================== | |
50 1. Quick start *:syn-qstart* | |
51 | |
52 *:syn-enable* *:syntax-enable* | |
53 This command switches on syntax highlighting: > | |
54 | |
55 :syntax enable | |
56 | |
57 What this command actually does is to execute the command > | |
58 :source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim | |
59 | |
60 If the VIM environment variable is not set, Vim will try to find | |
61 the path in another way (see |$VIMRUNTIME|). Usually this works just | |
62 fine. If it doesn't, try setting the VIM environment variable to the | |
63 directory where the Vim stuff is located. For example, if your syntax files | |
19116 | 64 are in the "/usr/vim/vim82/syntax" directory, set $VIMRUNTIME to |
65 "/usr/vim/vim82". You must do this in the shell, before starting Vim. | |

7 | 68 |
69 *:syn-on* *:syntax-on* | |
23305 | 70 The `:syntax enable` command will keep most of your current color settings. |
71 This allows using `:highlight` commands to set your preferred colors before or | |
7 | 72 after using this command. If you want Vim to overrule your settings with the |
73 defaults, use: > | |
74 :syntax on | |
75 < | |
76 *:hi-normal* *:highlight-normal* | |
77 If you are running in the GUI, you can get white text on a black background | |
78 with: > | |
79 :highlight Normal guibg=Black guifg=White | |
80 For a color terminal see |:hi-normal-cterm|. | |
81 For setting up your own colors syntax highlighting see |syncolor|. | |
82 | |
18972 | 83 NOTE: The syntax files on MS-Windows have lines that end in <CR><NL>. |
7 | 84 The files for Unix end in <NL>. This means you should use the right type of |
18972 | 85 file for your system. Although on MS-Windows the right format is |
7 | 86 automatically selected if the 'fileformats' option is not empty. |
87 | |
88 NOTE: When using reverse video ("gvim -fg white -bg black"), the default value | |
89 of 'background' will not be set until the GUI window is opened, which is after | |
819 | 90 reading the |gvimrc|. This will cause the wrong default highlighting to be |
7 | 91 used. To set the default value of 'background' before switching on |
819 | 92 highlighting, include the ":gui" command in the |gvimrc|: > |
7 | 93 |
94 :gui " open window and set default for 'background' | |
95 :syntax on " start highlighting, use 'background' to set colors | |
96 | |
819 | 97 NOTE: Using ":gui" in the |gvimrc| means that "gvim -f" won't start in the |
7 | 98 foreground! Use ":gui -f" then. |
99 | |
2520 | 100 *g:syntax_on* |
101 You can toggle the syntax on/off with this command: > | |
102 :if exists("g:syntax_on") | syntax off | else | syntax enable | endif | |
7 | 103 |
104 To put this into a mapping, you can use: > | |
2520 | 105 :map <F7> :if exists("g:syntax_on") <Bar> |
7 | 106 \ syntax off <Bar> |
107 \ else <Bar> | |
108 \ syntax enable <Bar> | |
109 \ endif <CR> | |
110 [using the |<>| notation, type this literally] | |
111 | |
1624 | 112 Details: |
7 | 113 The ":syntax" commands are implemented by sourcing a file. To see exactly how |
114 this works, look in the file: | |
115 command file ~ | |
116 :syntax enable $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim | |
117 :syntax on $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim | |
118 :syntax manual $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/manual.vim | |
119 :syntax off $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/nosyntax.vim | |

126 2. Syntax files *:syn-files* | |
127 | |
128 The syntax and highlighting commands for one language are normally stored in | |
129 a syntax file. The name convention is: "{name}.vim". Where {name} is the | |
130 name of the language, or an abbreviation (to fit the name in 8.3 characters, | |
131 a requirement in case the file is used on a DOS filesystem). | |
132 Examples: | |
133 c.vim perl.vim java.vim html.vim | |
134 cpp.vim sh.vim csh.vim | |
135 | |
136 The syntax file can contain any Ex commands, just like a vimrc file. But | |
137 the idea is that only commands for a specific language are included. When a | |
138 language is a superset of another language, it may include the other one, | |
139 for example, the cpp.vim file could include the c.vim file: > | |
140 :so $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/c.vim | |
141 | |
142 The .vim files are normally loaded with an autocommand. For example: > | |
143 :au Syntax c runtime! syntax/c.vim | |
144 :au Syntax cpp runtime! syntax/cpp.vim | |
145 These commands are normally in the file $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/synload.vim. | |
146 | |
147 | |
148 MAKING YOUR OWN SYNTAX FILES *mysyntaxfile* | |
149 | |
150 When you create your own syntax files, and you want to have Vim use these | |
151 automatically with ":syntax enable", do this: | |
152 | |
153 1. Create your user runtime directory. You would normally use the first item | |
154 of the 'runtimepath' option. Example for Unix: > | |
155 mkdir ~/.vim | |
156 | |
157 2. Create a directory in there called "syntax". For Unix: > | |
158 mkdir ~/.vim/syntax | |
159 | |
160 3. Write the Vim syntax file. Or download one from the internet. Then write | |
161 it in your syntax directory. For example, for the "mine" syntax: > | |
162 :w ~/.vim/syntax/mine.vim | |
163 | |
164 Now you can start using your syntax file manually: > | |
165 :set syntax=mine | |
166 You don't have to exit Vim to use this. | |
167 | |
168 If you also want Vim to detect the type of file, see |new-filetype|. | |
169 | |
170 If you are setting up a system with many users and you don't want each user | |
171 to add the same syntax file, you can use another directory from 'runtimepath'. | |
172 | |
173 | |
174 ADDING TO AN EXISTING SYNTAX FILE *mysyntaxfile-add* | |
175 | |
176 If you are mostly satisfied with an existing syntax file, but would like to | |
177 add a few items or change the highlighting, follow these steps: | |
178 | |
179 1. Create your user directory from 'runtimepath', see above. | |
180 | |
181 2. Create a directory in there called "after/syntax". For Unix: > | |
182 mkdir ~/.vim/after | |
183 mkdir ~/.vim/after/syntax | |
184 | |
185 3. Write a Vim script that contains the commands you want to use. For | |
186 example, to change the colors for the C syntax: > | |
187 highlight cComment ctermfg=Green guifg=Green | |
188 | |
189 4. Write that file in the "after/syntax" directory. Use the name of the | |
190 syntax, with ".vim" added. For our C syntax: > | |
191 :w ~/.vim/after/syntax/c.vim | |
192 | |
193 That's it. The next time you edit a C file the Comment color will be | |
194 different. You don't even have to restart Vim. | |
195 | |
169 | 196 If you have multiple files, you can use the filetype as the directory name. |
197 All the "*.vim" files in this directory will be used, for example: | |
198 ~/.vim/after/syntax/c/one.vim | |
199 ~/.vim/after/syntax/c/two.vim | |
200 | |
7 | 201 |
202 REPLACING AN EXISTING SYNTAX FILE *mysyntaxfile-replace* | |
203 | |
204 If you don't like a distributed syntax file, or you have downloaded a new | |
205 version, follow the same steps as for |mysyntaxfile| above. Just make sure | |
206 that you write the syntax file in a directory that is early in 'runtimepath'. | |
3445 | 207 Vim will only load the first syntax file found, assuming that it sets |
208 b:current_syntax. | |

7 | 217 The name for a highlight or syntax group must consist of ASCII letters, digits |
6647 | 218 and the underscore. As a regexp: "[a-zA-Z0-9_]*". However, Vim does not give |
28517 | 219 an error when using other characters. The maximum length of a group name is |
27537 | 220 about 200 bytes. *E1249* |
7 | 221 |
19574 | 222 To be able to allow each user to pick their favorite set of colors, there must |
7 | 223 be preferred names for highlight groups that are common for many languages. |
224 These are the suggested group names (if syntax highlighting works properly | |
225 you can see the actual color, except for "Ignore"): | |
226 | |
227 *Comment any comment | |
228 | |
229 *Constant any constant | |
230 String a string constant: "this is a string" | |
231 Character a character constant: 'c', '\n' | |
232 Number a number constant: 234, 0xff | |
233 Boolean a boolean constant: TRUE, false | |
234 Float a floating point constant: 2.3e10 | |
235 | |
236 *Identifier any variable name | |
237 Function function name (also: methods for classes) | |
238 | |
239 *Statement any statement | |
240 Conditional if, then, else, endif, switch, etc. | |
241 Repeat for, do, while, etc. | |
242 Label case, default, etc. | |
243 Operator "sizeof", "+", "*", etc. | |
244 Keyword any other keyword | |
245 Exception try, catch, throw | |
246 | |
247 *PreProc generic Preprocessor | |
248 Include preprocessor #include | |
249 Define preprocessor #define | |
250 Macro same as Define | |
251 PreCondit preprocessor #if, #else, #endif, etc. | |
252 | |
253 *Type int, long, char, etc. | |
254 StorageClass static, register, volatile, etc. | |
255 Structure struct, union, enum, etc. | |
256 Typedef A typedef | |
257 | |
258 *Special any special symbol | |
259 SpecialChar special character in a constant | |
260 Tag you can use CTRL-] on this | |
261 Delimiter character that needs attention | |
262 SpecialComment special things inside a comment | |
263 Debug debugging statements | |
264 | |
265 *Underlined text that stands out, HTML links | |

267 *Ignore left blank, hidden |hl-Ignore| |
7 | 268 |
269 *Error any erroneous construct | |
270 | |
271 *Todo anything that needs extra attention; mostly the | |
272 keywords TODO FIXME and XXX | |
273 | |
274 The names marked with * are the preferred groups; the others are minor groups. | |
275 For the preferred groups, the "syntax.vim" file contains default highlighting. | |
276 The minor groups are linked to the preferred groups, so they get the same | |
277 highlighting. You can override these defaults by using ":highlight" commands | |
278 after sourcing the "syntax.vim" file. | |
279 | |
280 Note that highlight group names are not case sensitive. "String" and "string" | |
281 can be used for the same group. | |
282 | |

291 3. Syntax loading procedure *syntax-loading* | |
292 | |
293 This explains the details that happen when the command ":syntax enable" is | |
294 issued. When Vim initializes itself, it finds out where the runtime files are | |
295 located. This is used here as the variable |$VIMRUNTIME|. | |
296 | |
297 ":syntax enable" and ":syntax on" do the following: | |
298 | |
299 Source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim | |
300 | | |
301 +- Clear out any old syntax by sourcing $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/nosyntax.vim | |
302 | | |
303 +- Source first syntax/synload.vim in 'runtimepath' | |
304 | | | |
305 | +- Setup the colors for syntax highlighting. If a color scheme is | |
306 | | defined it is loaded again with ":colors {name}". Otherwise | |
307 | | ":runtime! syntax/syncolor.vim" is used. ":syntax on" overrules | |
308 | | existing colors, ":syntax enable" only sets groups that weren't | |
309 | | set yet. | |
310 | | | |
311 | +- Set up syntax autocmds to load the appropriate syntax file when | |
312 | | the 'syntax' option is set. *synload-1* | |
313 | | | |
314 | +- Source the user's optional file, from the |mysyntaxfile| variable. | |
315 | This is for backwards compatibility with Vim 5.x only. *synload-2* | |
316 | | |
317 +- Do ":filetype on", which does ":runtime! filetype.vim". It loads any | |
318 | filetype.vim files found. It should always Source | |
319 | $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim, which does the following. | |
320 | | | |
321 | +- Install autocmds based on suffix to set the 'filetype' option | |
322 | | This is where the connection between file name and file type is | |
323 | | made for known file types. *synload-3* | |
324 | | | |
325 | +- Source the user's optional file, from the *myfiletypefile* | |
326 | | variable. This is for backwards compatibility with Vim 5.x only. | |
327 | | *synload-4* | |
328 | | | |
329 | +- Install one autocommand which sources scripts.vim when no file | |
330 | | type was detected yet. *synload-5* | |
331 | | | |
332 | +- Source $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim, to setup the Syntax menu. |menu.vim| | |
333 | | |
334 +- Install a FileType autocommand to set the 'syntax' option when a file | |
335 | type has been detected. *synload-6* | |
336 | | |
337 +- Execute syntax autocommands to start syntax highlighting for each | |
338 already loaded buffer. | |
339 | |
340 | |
341 Upon loading a file, Vim finds the relevant syntax file as follows: | |
342 | |
343 Loading the file triggers the BufReadPost autocommands. | |
344 | | |
345 +- If there is a match with one of the autocommands from |synload-3| | |
346 | (known file types) or |synload-4| (user's file types), the 'filetype' | |
347 | option is set to the file type. | |
348 | | |
349 +- The autocommand at |synload-5| is triggered. If the file type was not | |
350 | found yet, then scripts.vim is searched for in 'runtimepath'. This | |
351 | should always load $VIMRUNTIME/scripts.vim, which does the following. | |
352 | | | |
353 | +- Source the user's optional file, from the *myscriptsfile* | |
354 | | variable. This is for backwards compatibility with Vim 5.x only. | |
355 | | | |
356 | +- If the file type is still unknown, check the contents of the file, | |
357 | again with checks like "getline(1) =~ pattern" as to whether the | |
358 | file type can be recognized, and set 'filetype'. | |
359 | | |
360 +- When the file type was determined and 'filetype' was set, this | |
361 | triggers the FileType autocommand |synload-6| above. It sets | |
362 | 'syntax' to the determined file type. | |
363 | | |
364 +- When the 'syntax' option was set above, this triggers an autocommand | |
365 | from |synload-1| (and |synload-2|). This find the main syntax file in | |
366 | 'runtimepath', with this command: | |
367 | runtime! syntax/<name>.vim | |
368 | | |
369 +- Any other user installed FileType or Syntax autocommands are | |
370 triggered. This can be used to change the highlighting for a specific | |
371 syntax. | |

449 Default: 0. | |
450 When 0, if |g:html_diff_one_file| is 1, a sequence of more than 3 filler lines | |
451 is displayed as three lines with the middle line mentioning the total number | |
452 of inserted lines. | |
453 When 1, always display all inserted lines as if |g:html_diff_one_file| were | |

456 :let g:html_whole_filler = 1 | |
457 < | |
458 *TOhtml-performance* *g:html_no_progress* | |
459 Default: 0. | |
460 When 0, display a progress bar in the statusline for each major step in the | |
461 2html.vim conversion process. | |
462 When 1, do not display the progress bar. This offers a minor speed improvement | |
463 but you won't have any idea how much longer the conversion might take; for big | |
464 files it can take a long time! | |
465 Example: > | |
466 | |
467 let g:html_no_progress = 1 | |
468 < | |
469 You can obtain better performance improvements by also instructing Vim to not | |
470 run interactively, so that too much time is not taken to redraw as the script | |
471 moves through the buffer, switches windows, and the like: > | |
472 | |
473 vim -E -s -c "let g:html_no_progress=1" -c "syntax on" -c "set ft=c" -c "runtime syntax/2html.vim" -cwqa myfile.c | |
474 < | |
475 Note that the -s flag prevents loading your .vimrc and any plugins, so you | |
476 need to explicitly source/enable anything that will affect the HTML | |
477 conversion. See |-E| and |-s-ex| for details. It is probably best to create a | |
478 script to replace all the -c commands and use it with the -u flag instead of | |
479 specifying each command separately. | |
480 | |
18639 | 481 *hl-TOhtmlProgress* *TOhtml-progress-color* |
482 When displayed, the progress bar will show colored boxes along the statusline | |
483 as the HTML conversion proceeds. By default, the background color as the | |
484 current "DiffDelete" highlight group is used. If "DiffDelete" and "StatusLine" | |
485 have the same background color, TOhtml will automatically adjust the color to | |
486 differ. If you do not like the automatically selected colors, you can define | |
487 your own highlight colors for the progress bar. Example: > | |
488 | |

3713 | 520 *g:html_use_css* |
521 Default: 1. | |
18639 | 522 When 1, generate valid HTML 5 markup with CSS styling, supported in all modern |
523 browsers and many old browsers. | |
3713 | 524 When 0, generate <font> tags and similar outdated markup. This is not |
525 recommended but it may work better in really old browsers, email clients, | |
526 forum posts, and similar situations where basic CSS support is unavailable. | |
527 Example: > | |
528 :let g:html_use_css = 0 | |
529 < | |
530 *g:html_ignore_conceal* | |
531 Default: 0. | |
532 When 0, concealed text is removed from the HTML and replaced with a character | |
533 from |:syn-cchar| or 'listchars' as appropriate, depending on the current | |
534 value of 'conceallevel'. | |
535 When 1, include all text from the buffer in the generated HTML, even if it is | |
536 |conceal|ed. | |
537 | |
538 Either of the following commands will ensure that all text in the buffer is | |
539 included in the generated HTML (unless it is folded): > | |
540 :let g:html_ignore_conceal = 1 | |
541 :setl conceallevel=0 | |
542 < | |
543 *g:html_ignore_folding* | |
544 Default: 0. | |
545 When 0, text in a closed fold is replaced by the text shown for the fold in | |
546 Vim (|fold-foldtext|). See |g:html_dynamic_folds| if you also want to allow | |
547 the user to expand the fold as in Vim to see the text inside. | |
548 When 1, include all text from the buffer in the generated HTML; whether the | |
549 text is in a fold has no impact at all. |g:html_dynamic_folds| has no effect. | |
550 | |
551 Either of these commands will ensure that all text in the buffer is included | |
552 in the generated HTML (unless it is concealed): > | |
553 zR | |
554 :let g:html_ignore_folding = 1 | |
555 < | |
556 *g:html_dynamic_folds* | |
557 Default: 0. | |
558 When 0, text in a closed fold is not included at all in the generated HTML. | |
559 When 1, generate javascript to open a fold and show the text within, just like | |
560 in Vim. | |
561 | |
562 Setting this variable to 1 causes 2html.vim to always use CSS for styling, | |
563 regardless of what |g:html_use_css| is set to. | |
564 | |
565 This variable is ignored when |g:html_ignore_folding| is set. | |
566 > | |
567 :let g:html_dynamic_folds = 1 | |
568 < | |
569 *g:html_no_foldcolumn* | |
570 Default: 0. | |
571 When 0, if |g:html_dynamic_folds| is 1, generate a column of text similar to | |
572 Vim's foldcolumn (|fold-foldcolumn|) the user can click on to toggle folds | |
573 open or closed. The minimum width of the generated text column is the current | |
574 'foldcolumn' setting. | |
575 When 1, do not generate this column; instead, hovering the mouse cursor over | |
576 folded text will open the fold as if |g:html_hover_unfold| were set. | |

|
581 Default: Empty string. |
3713 | 582 This option prevents certain regions of the generated HTML from being copied, |
583 when you select all text in document rendered in a browser and copy it. Useful | |
584 for allowing users to copy-paste only the source text even if a fold column or | |
585 line numbers are shown in the generated content. Specify regions to be | |
586 affected in this way as follows: | |
587 f: fold column | |
588 n: line numbers (also within fold text) | |
589 t: fold text | |
590 d: diff filler | |
591 | |
592 Example, to make the fold column and line numbers uncopyable: > | |
593 :let g:html_prevent_copy = "fn" | |
594 < | |
18639 | 595 The method used to prevent copying in the generated page depends on the value |
596 of |g:html_use_input_for_pc|. | |
597 | |
598 *g:html_use_input_for_pc* | |
599 Default: "fallback" | |
600 If |g:html_prevent_copy| is non-empty, then: | |
601 | |
602 When "all", read-only <input> elements are used in place of normal text for | |
603 uncopyable regions. In some browsers, especially older browsers, after | |
604 selecting an entire page and copying the selection, the <input> tags are not | |
605 pasted with the page text. If |g:html_no_invalid| is 0, the <input> tags have | |
606 invalid type; this works in more browsers, but the page will not validate. | |

|
607 Note: This method does NOT work in recent versions of Chrome and equivalent |
18639 | 608 browsers; the <input> tags get pasted with the text. |
609 | |
610 When "fallback" (default value), the same <input> elements are generated for | |
611 older browsers, but newer browsers (detected by CSS feature query) hide the | |
612 <input> elements and instead use generated content in an ::before pseudoelement | |
613 to display the uncopyable text. This method should work with the largest | |
614 number of browsers, both old and new. | |
615 | |
616 When "none", the <input> elements are not generated at all. Only the | |
617 generated-content method is used. This means that old browsers, notably | |
618 Internet Explorer, will either copy the text intended not to be copyable, or | |
619 the non-copyable text may not appear at all. However, this is the most | |
620 standards-based method, and there will be much less markup. | |
3713 | 621 |
622 *g:html_no_invalid* | |
623 Default: 0. | |
18639 | 624 When 0, if |g:html_prevent_copy| is non-empty and |g:html_use_input_for_pc| is |
625 not "none", an invalid attribute is intentionally inserted into the <input> | |
626 element for the uncopyable areas. This prevents pasting the <input> elements | |
627 in some applications. Specifically, some versions of Microsoft Word will not | |
628 paste the <input> elements if they contain this invalid attribute. When 1, no | |
629 invalid markup is inserted, and the generated page should validate. However, | |
630 <input> elements may be pasted into some applications and can be difficult to | |
631 remove afterward. | |
3713 | 632 |
633 *g:html_hover_unfold* | |
634 Default: 0. | |
635 When 0, the only way to open a fold generated by 2html.vim with | |
636 |g:html_dynamic_folds| set, is to click on the generated fold column. | |
637 When 1, use CSS 2.0 to allow the user to open a fold by moving the mouse | |
638 cursor over the displayed fold text. This is useful to allow users with | |
639 disabled javascript to view the folded text. | |
640 | |
641 Note that old browsers (notably Internet Explorer 6) will not support this | |
642 feature. Browser-specific markup for IE6 is included to fall back to the | |
643 normal CSS1 styling so that the folds show up correctly for this browser, but | |

668 Default: Current 'wrap' setting. |
3713 | 669 When 0, if |g:html_no_pre| is 0 or unset, the text in the generated HTML does |
670 not wrap at the edge of the browser window. | |
671 When 1, if |g:html_use_css| is 1, the CSS 2.0 "white-space:pre-wrap" value is | |
672 used, causing the text to wrap at whitespace at the edge of the browser | |
673 window. | |
674 Explicitly enable text wrapping: > | |
675 :let g:html_pre_wrap = 1 | |
676 Explicitly disable wrapping: > | |
677 :let g:html_pre_wrap = 0 | |

681 *g:html_no_pre* | |
682 Default: 0. | |
683 When 0, buffer text in the generated HTML is surrounded by <pre>...</pre> | |
684 tags. Series of whitespace is shown as in Vim without special markup, and tab | |
685 characters can be included literally (see |g:html_expand_tabs|). | |
686 When 1 (not recommended), the <pre> tags are omitted, and a plain <div> is | |
687 used instead. Whitespace is replaced by a series of character | |
688 references, and <br> is used to end each line. This is another way to allow | |
689 text in the generated HTML is wrap (see |g:html_pre_wrap|) which also works in | |
690 old browsers, but may cause noticeable differences between Vim's display and | |
691 the rendered page generated by 2html.vim. | |

693 :let g:html_no_pre = 1 | |

695 *g:html_expand_tabs* | |
15033 | 696 Default: 0 if 'tabstop' is 8, 'expandtab' is 0, 'vartabstop' is not in use, |
697 and no fold column or line numbers occur in the generated HTML; | |
698 1 otherwise. | |
699 When 1, <Tab> characters in the buffer text are replaced with an appropriate | |
3713 | 700 number of space characters, or references if |g:html_no_pre| is 1. |
15033 | 701 When 0, if |g:html_no_pre| is 0 or unset, <Tab> characters in the buffer text |
3713 | 702 are included as-is in the generated HTML. This is useful for when you want to |
703 allow copy and paste from a browser without losing the actual whitespace in | |
704 the source document. Note that this can easily break text alignment and | |
705 indentation in the HTML, unless set by default. | |

713 *TOhtml-encoding-detect* *TOhtml-encoding* | |
714 It is highly recommended to set your desired encoding with | |
715 |g:html_use_encoding| for any content which will be placed on a web server. | |
716 | |
717 If you do not specify an encoding, |2html.vim| uses the preferred IANA name | |
718 for the current value of 'fileencoding' if set, or 'encoding' if not. | |
719 'encoding' is always used for certain 'buftype' values. 'fileencoding' will be | |
720 set to match the chosen document encoding. | |
721 | |
722 Automatic detection works for the encodings mentioned specifically by name in | |
723 |encoding-names|, but TOhtml will only automatically use those encodings with | |
724 wide browser support. However, you can override this to support specific | |
725 encodings that may not be automatically detected by default (see options | |
726 below). See http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets for the IANA names. | |

728 Note: By default all Unicode encodings are converted to UTF-8 with no BOM in |
3713 | 729 the generated HTML, as recommended by W3C: |

732 http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-byte-order-mark | |
733 | |
734 *g:html_use_encoding* | |
735 Default: none, uses IANA name for current 'fileencoding' as above. | |
736 To overrule all automatic charset detection, set g:html_use_encoding to the | |
737 name of the charset to be used. It is recommended to set this variable to | |
738 something widely supported, like UTF-8, for anything you will be hosting on a | |
739 webserver: > | |
740 :let g:html_use_encoding = "UTF-8" | |
741 You can also use this option to omit the line that specifies the charset | |
742 entirely, by setting g:html_use_encoding to an empty string (NOT recommended): > | |
743 :let g:html_use_encoding = "" | |
744 To go back to the automatic mechanism, delete the |g:html_use_encoding| | |
745 variable: > | |
746 :unlet g:html_use_encoding | |
747 < | |
748 *g:html_encoding_override* | |
749 Default: none, autoload/tohtml.vim contains default conversions for encodings | |
750 mentioned by name at |encoding-names|. | |
751 This option allows |2html.vim| to detect the correct 'fileencoding' when you | |
752 specify an encoding with |g:html_use_encoding| which is not in the default | |
753 list of conversions. | |
754 | |
755 This is a dictionary of charset-encoding pairs that will replace existing | |
756 pairs automatically detected by TOhtml, or supplement with new pairs. | |
757 | |
758 Detect the HTML charset "windows-1252" as the encoding "8bit-cp1252": > | |
759 :let g:html_encoding_override = {'windows-1252': '8bit-cp1252'} | |
760 < | |
761 *g:html_charset_override* | |
762 Default: none, autoload/tohtml.vim contains default conversions for encodings | |
763 mentioned by name at |encoding-names| and which have wide | |
764 browser support. | |
765 This option allows |2html.vim| to detect the HTML charset for any | |
766 'fileencoding' or 'encoding' which is not detected automatically. You can also | |
767 use it to override specific existing encoding-charset pairs. For example, | |
768 TOhtml will by default use UTF-8 for all Unicode/UCS encodings. To use UTF-16 | |
769 and UTF-32 instead, use: > | |
770 :let g:html_charset_override = {'ucs-4': 'UTF-32', 'utf-16': 'UTF-16'} | |
771 | |
772 Note that documents encoded in either UTF-32 or UTF-16 have known | |
773 compatibility problems with some major browsers. | |

857 Files matching "*.i" could be Progress or Assembly. If the automatic detection | |
858 doesn't work for you, or you don't edit Progress at all, use this in your | |
859 startup vimrc: > | |
860 :let filetype_i = "asm" | |
861 Replace "asm" with the type of assembly you use. | |
862 | |
863 There are many types of assembly languages that all use the same file name | |
864 extensions. Therefore you will have to select the type yourself, or add a | |
865 line in the assembly file that Vim will recognize. Currently these syntax | |
866 files are included: | |
867 asm GNU assembly (the default) | |
868 asm68k Motorola 680x0 assembly | |
869 asmh8300 Hitachi H-8300 version of GNU assembly | |
870 ia64 Intel Itanium 64 | |
871 fasm Flat assembly (http://flatassembler.net) | |
872 masm Microsoft assembly (probably works for any 80x86) | |
873 nasm Netwide assembly | |
874 tasm Turbo Assembly (with opcodes 80x86 up to Pentium, and | |
875 MMX) | |
876 pic PIC assembly (currently for PIC16F84) | |
877 | |
878 The most flexible is to add a line in your assembly file containing: > | |

881 one of the first five lines in the file. No non-white text must be |
3682 | 882 immediately before or after this text. Note that specifying asmsyntax=foo is |
883 equivalent to setting ft=foo in a |modeline|, and that in case of a conflict | |
884 between the two settings the one from the modeline will take precedence (in | |
885 particular, if you have ft=asm in the modeline, you will get the GNU syntax | |
886 highlighting regardless of what is specified as asmsyntax). | |
7 | 887 |
888 The syntax type can always be overruled for a specific buffer by setting the | |
889 b:asmsyntax variable: > | |
1624 | 890 :let b:asmsyntax = "nasm" |
7 | 891 |
892 If b:asmsyntax is not set, either automatically or by hand, then the value of | |
893 the global variable asmsyntax is used. This can be seen as a default assembly | |
894 language: > | |
1624 | 895 :let asmsyntax = "nasm" |

501 | 914 ASPPERL and ASPVBS *ft-aspperl-syntax* *ft-aspvbs-syntax* |
7 | 915 |
916 *.asp and *.asa files could be either Perl or Visual Basic script. Since it's | |
917 hard to detect this you can set two global variables to tell Vim what you are | |
918 using. For Perl script use: > | |
919 :let g:filetype_asa = "aspperl" | |
920 :let g:filetype_asp = "aspperl" | |
921 For Visual Basic use: > | |
922 :let g:filetype_asa = "aspvbs" | |
923 :let g:filetype_asp = "aspvbs" | |

925 | |
856 | 926 BAAN *baan.vim* *baan-syntax* |
844 | 927 |
25402 | 928 The baan.vim gives syntax support for BaanC of release BaanIV up to SSA ERP LN |
844 | 929 for both 3 GL and 4 GL programming. Large number of standard defines/constants |
930 are supported. | |
931 | |
932 Some special violation of coding standards will be signalled when one specify | |
933 in ones |.vimrc|: > | |
934 let baan_code_stds=1 | |
935 | |
936 *baan-folding* | |
937 | |
938 Syntax folding can be enabled at various levels through the variables | |
939 mentioned below (Set those in your |.vimrc|). The more complex folding on | |
940 source blocks and SQL can be CPU intensive. | |
941 | |
942 To allow any folding and enable folding at function level use: > | |
943 let baan_fold=1 | |
944 Folding can be enabled at source block level as if, while, for ,... The | |
945 indentation preceding the begin/end keywords has to match (spaces are not | |
946 considered equal to a tab). > | |
947 let baan_fold_block=1 | |
948 Folding can be enabled for embedded SQL blocks as SELECT, SELECTDO, | |
856 | 949 SELECTEMPTY, ... The indentation preceding the begin/end keywords has to |
844 | 950 match (spaces are not considered equal to a tab). > |
951 let baan_fold_sql=1 | |
856 | 952 Note: Block folding can result in many small folds. It is suggested to |:set| |
844 | 953 the options 'foldminlines' and 'foldnestmax' in |.vimrc| or use |:setlocal| in |
954 .../after/syntax/baan.vim (see |after-directory|). Eg: > | |
955 set foldminlines=5 | |
956 set foldnestmax=6 | |
957 | |
958 | |
501 | 959 BASIC *basic.vim* *vb.vim* *ft-basic-syntax* *ft-vb-syntax* |
7 | 960 |
27321 | 961 Both Visual Basic and "normal" BASIC use the extension ".bas". To detect |
7 | 962 which one should be used, Vim checks for the string "VB_Name" in the first |
963 five lines of the file. If it is not found, filetype will be "basic", | |
964 otherwise "vb". Files with the ".frm" extension will always be seen as Visual | |
965 Basic. | |
966 | |
27321 | 967 If the automatic detection doesn't work for you or you only edit, for |
968 example, FreeBASIC files, use this in your startup vimrc: > | |
969 :let filetype_bas = "freebasic" | |
970 | |
7 | 971 |
501 | 972 C *c.vim* *ft-c-syntax* |
7 | 973 |
974 A few things in C highlighting are optional. To enable them assign any value | |
18750 | 975 (including zero) to the respective variable. Example: > |
1624 | 976 :let c_comment_strings = 1 |
18750 | 977 :let c_no_bracket_error = 0 |
978 To disable them use `:unlet`. Example: > | |
7 | 979 :unlet c_comment_strings |
18750 | 980 Setting the value to zero doesn't work! |
7 | 981 |
14999 | 982 An alternative is to switch to the C++ highlighting: > |
983 :set filetype=cpp | |

1008 *c_no_bsd* don't highlight BSD specific types |
7 | 1009 |
36 | 1010 When 'foldmethod' is set to "syntax" then /* */ comments and { } blocks will |
1011 become a fold. If you don't want comments to become a fold use: > | |
1012 :let c_no_comment_fold = 1 | |
842 | 1013 "#if 0" blocks are also folded, unless: > |
1014 :let c_no_if0_fold = 1 | |
36 | 1015 |
7 | 1016 If you notice highlighting errors while scrolling backwards, which are fixed |
1017 when redrawing with CTRL-L, try setting the "c_minlines" internal variable | |
1018 to a larger number: > | |
1019 :let c_minlines = 100 | |
1020 This will make the syntax synchronization start 100 lines before the first | |
1021 displayed line. The default value is 50 (15 when c_no_if0 is set). The | |
1022 disadvantage of using a larger number is that redrawing can become slow. | |
1023 | |
1024 When using the "#if 0" / "#endif" comment highlighting, notice that this only | |
1025 works when the "#if 0" is within "c_minlines" from the top of the window. If | |
1026 you have a long "#if 0" construct it will not be highlighted correctly. | |
1027 | |
1028 To match extra items in comments, use the cCommentGroup cluster. | |
1029 Example: > | |
1030 :au Syntax c call MyCadd() | |
1031 :function MyCadd() | |
1032 : syn keyword cMyItem contained Ni | |
1033 : syn cluster cCommentGroup add=cMyItem | |
1034 : hi link cMyItem Title | |
1035 :endfun | |
1036 | |
1037 ANSI constants will be highlighted with the "cConstant" group. This includes | |
1038 "NULL", "SIG_IGN" and others. But not "TRUE", for example, because this is | |
1039 not in the ANSI standard. If you find this confusing, remove the cConstant | |
1040 highlighting: > | |
1041 :hi link cConstant NONE | |
1042 | |
1043 If you see '{' and '}' highlighted as an error where they are OK, reset the | |
1044 highlighting for cErrInParen and cErrInBracket. | |
1045 | |
1046 If you want to use folding in your C files, you can add these lines in a file | |

1054 C/C++ interpreter. Ch has similar syntax highlighting to C and builds upon | |
1055 the C syntax file. See |c.vim| for all the settings that are available for C. | |
1056 | |
1057 By setting a variable you can tell Vim to use Ch syntax for *.h files, instead | |
1058 of C or C++: > | |
1059 :let ch_syntax_for_h = 1 | |
1060 | |
7 | 1061 |
501 | 1062 CHILL *chill.vim* *ft-chill-syntax* |
7 | 1063 |
1064 Chill syntax highlighting is similar to C. See |c.vim| for all the settings | |
1065 that are available. Additionally there is: | |
1066 | |
1067 chill_space_errors like c_space_errors | |
1068 chill_comment_string like c_comment_strings | |
1069 chill_minlines like c_minlines | |

501 | 1072 CHANGELOG *changelog.vim* *ft-changelog-syntax* |
7 | 1073 |
1074 ChangeLog supports highlighting spaces at the start of a line. | |
1075 If you do not like this, add following line to your .vimrc: > | |
1076 let g:changelog_spacing_errors = 0 | |
1077 This works the next time you edit a changelog file. You can also use | |
1078 "b:changelog_spacing_errors" to set this per buffer (before loading the syntax | |
1079 file). | |
1080 | |
1081 You can change the highlighting used, e.g., to flag the spaces as an error: > | |
1082 :hi link ChangelogError Error | |
1083 Or to avoid the highlighting: > | |
1084 :hi link ChangelogError NONE | |
1085 This works immediately. | |

1095 syntax group names, each containing a |List| of identifiers. | |

26100 | 1104 There is also *b:clojure_syntax_keywords* which is a buffer-local variant of |
1105 this variable intended for use by plugin authors to highlight symbols | |
1106 dynamically. | |
1107 | |
1108 By setting the *b:clojure_syntax_without_core_keywords* variable, vars from | |
1109 "clojure.core" will not be highlighted by default. This is useful for | |
1110 namespaces that have set `(:refer-clojure :only [])` | |
1111 | |
1112 | |
1113 *g:clojure_fold* | |
1114 | |
1115 Setting |g:clojure_fold| to `1` will enable the folding of Clojure code. Any | |
1116 list, vector or map that extends over more than one line can be folded using | |
1117 the standard Vim |fold-commands|. | |
1118 | |
1119 | |
1120 *g:clojure_discard_macro* | |
1121 | |

1126 (println x)) | |

1135 development. This is due to differences in what is being done (maintenance | |
1136 versus development) and other factors. To enable legacy code highlighting, | |
1137 add this line to your .vimrc: > | |
1138 :let cobol_legacy_code = 1 | |
1139 To disable it again, use this: > | |

1166 This covers the shell named "csh". Note that on some systems tcsh is actually | |
1167 used. | |
1168 | |
1169 Detecting whether a file is csh or tcsh is notoriously hard. Some systems | |
1170 symlink /bin/csh to /bin/tcsh, making it almost impossible to distinguish | |
1171 between csh and tcsh. In case VIM guesses wrong you can set the | |
2965 | 1172 "filetype_csh" variable. For using csh: *g:filetype_csh* |
1173 > | |
1174 :let g:filetype_csh = "csh" | |
7 | 1175 |
1176 For using tcsh: > | |
1177 | |
2965 | 1178 :let g:filetype_csh = "tcsh" |
7 | 1179 |
1180 Any script with a tcsh extension or a standard tcsh filename (.tcshrc, | |
1181 tcsh.tcshrc, tcsh.login) will have filetype tcsh. All other tcsh/csh scripts | |
237 | 1182 will be classified as tcsh, UNLESS the "filetype_csh" variable exists. If the |
7 | 1183 "filetype_csh" variable exists, the filetype will be set to the value of the |
1184 variable. | |

1189 Cynlib files are C++ files that use the Cynlib class library to enable | |
237 | 1190 hardware modelling and simulation using C++. Typically Cynlib files have a .cc |
7 | 1191 or a .cpp extension, which makes it very difficult to distinguish them from a |
237 | 1192 normal C++ file. Thus, to enable Cynlib highlighting for .cc files, add this |
7 | 1193 line to your .vimrc file: > |
1194 | |
1195 :let cynlib_cyntax_for_cc=1 | |
1196 | |
1197 Similarly for cpp files (this extension is only usually used in Windows) > | |
1198 | |
1199 :let cynlib_cyntax_for_cpp=1 | |
1200 | |
1201 To disable these again, use this: > | |
1202 | |
1203 :unlet cynlib_cyntax_for_cc | |
1204 :unlet cynlib_cyntax_for_cpp | |
1205 < | |
1206 | |
501 | 1207 CWEB *cweb.vim* *ft-cweb-syntax* |
7 | 1208 |
1209 Files matching "*.w" could be Progress or cweb. If the automatic detection | |
1210 doesn't work for you, or you don't edit Progress at all, use this in your | |
1211 startup vimrc: > | |
1212 :let filetype_w = "cweb" | |
1213 | |
1214 | |
18456 | 1215 DART *dart.vim* *ft-dart-syntax* |
1216 | |
1217 Dart is an object-oriented, typed, class defined, garbage collected language | |
1218 used for developing mobile, desktop, web, and back-end applications. Dart uses | |
1219 a C-like syntax derived from C, Java, and JavaScript, with features adopted | |
1220 from Smalltalk, Python, Ruby, and others. | |
1221 | |
1222 More information about the language and its development environment at the | |
1223 official Dart language website at https://dart.dev | |
1224 | |
1225 dart.vim syntax detects and highlights Dart statements, reserved words, | |
1226 type declarations, storage classes, conditionals, loops, interpolated values, | |
1227 and comments. There is no support idioms from Flutter or any other Dart | |
1228 framework. | |

501 | 1258 DIRCOLORS *dircolors.vim* *ft-dircolors-syntax* |
7 | 1259 |
1260 The dircolors utility highlighting definition has one option. It exists to | |
1261 provide compatibility with the Slackware GNU/Linux distributions version of | |
1262 the command. It adds a few keywords that are generally ignored by most | |
1263 versions. On Slackware systems, however, the utility accepts the keywords and | |
1264 uses them for processing. To enable the Slackware keywords add the following | |
1265 line to your startup file: > | |
1266 let dircolors_is_slackware = 1 | |
1267 | |
1268 | |
501 | 1269 DOCBOOK *docbk.vim* *ft-docbk-syntax* *docbook* |
2662 | 1270 DOCBOOK XML *docbkxml.vim* *ft-docbkxml-syntax* |
1271 DOCBOOK SGML *docbksgml.vim* *ft-docbksgml-syntax* | |
7 | 1272 |
1273 There are two types of DocBook files: SGML and XML. To specify what type you | |
1274 are using the "b:docbk_type" variable should be set. Vim does this for you | |
1275 automatically if it can recognize the type. When Vim can't guess it the type | |
1276 defaults to XML. | |
1277 You can set the type manually: > | |
1278 :let docbk_type = "sgml" | |
1279 or: > | |
1280 :let docbk_type = "xml" | |
1281 You need to do this before loading the syntax file, which is complicated. | |
1282 Simpler is setting the filetype to "docbkxml" or "docbksgml": > | |
1283 :set filetype=docbksgml | |
1284 or: > | |
1285 :set filetype=docbkxml | |
1286 | |
3967 | 1287 You can specify the DocBook version: > |
1288 :let docbk_ver = 3 | |
1289 When not set 4 is used. | |
1290 | |
7 | 1291 |
501 | 1292 DOSBATCH *dosbatch.vim* *ft-dosbatch-syntax* |
7 | 1293 |
1294 There is one option with highlighting DOS batch files. This covers new | |
1295 extensions to the Command Interpreter introduced with Windows 2000 and | |
1296 is controlled by the variable dosbatch_cmdextversion. For Windows NT | |
1297 this should have the value 1, and for Windows 2000 it should be 2. | |
1298 Select the version you want with the following line: > | |
1299 | |
15 | 1300 :let dosbatch_cmdextversion = 1 |
7 | 1301 |
1302 If this variable is not defined it defaults to a value of 2 to support | |
1303 Windows 2000. | |
1304 | |
15 | 1305 A second option covers whether *.btm files should be detected as type |
237 | 1306 "dosbatch" (MS-DOS batch files) or type "btm" (4DOS batch files). The latter |
1307 is used by default. You may select the former with the following line: > | |
15 | 1308 |
1309 :let g:dosbatch_syntax_for_btm = 1 | |
1310 | |
1311 If this variable is undefined or zero, btm syntax is selected. | |
1312 | |
1313 | |
832 | 1314 DOXYGEN *doxygen.vim* *doxygen-syntax* |
1315 | |
1316 Doxygen generates code documentation using a special documentation format | |
1698 | 1317 (similar to Javadoc). This syntax script adds doxygen highlighting to c, cpp, |
1318 idl and php files, and should also work with java. | |
832 | 1319 |
1224 | 1320 There are a few of ways to turn on doxygen formatting. It can be done |
1321 explicitly or in a modeline by appending '.doxygen' to the syntax of the file. | |
1322 Example: > | |
832 | 1323 :set syntax=c.doxygen |
1324 or > | |
1325 // vim:syntax=c.doxygen | |
1326 | |
3356 | 1327 It can also be done automatically for C, C++, C#, IDL and PHP files by setting |
1328 the global or buffer-local variable load_doxygen_syntax. This is done by | |
1329 adding the following to your .vimrc. > | |
832 | 1330 :let g:load_doxygen_syntax=1 |

1333 and are to do with non-standard highlighting options. |
832 | 1334 |
1335 Variable Default Effect ~ | |
1336 g:doxygen_enhanced_color | |
1337 g:doxygen_enhanced_colour 0 Use non-standard highlighting for | |
1338 doxygen comments. | |

1341 and html_my_rendering underline. | |
1342 | |
1343 doxygen_javadoc_autobrief 1 Set to 0 to disable javadoc autobrief | |
1344 colour highlighting. | |
1345 | |
1346 doxygen_end_punctuation '[.]' Set to regexp match for the ending | |
856 | 1347 punctuation of brief |
832 | 1348 |
14637 | 1349 There are also some highlight groups worth mentioning as they can be useful in |
832 | 1350 configuration. |
1351 | |
1352 Highlight Effect ~ | |
1353 doxygenErrorComment The colour of an end-comment when missing | |
1354 punctuation in a code, verbatim or dot section | |
1355 doxygenLinkError The colour of an end-comment when missing the | |
1356 \endlink from a \link section. | |
1357 | |
7 | 1358 |
501 | 1359 DTD *dtd.vim* *ft-dtd-syntax* |
7 | 1360 |
237 | 1361 The DTD syntax highlighting is case sensitive by default. To disable |
7 | 1362 case-sensitive highlighting, add the following line to your startup file: > |
1363 | |
1364 :let dtd_ignore_case=1 | |
1365 | |
237 | 1366 The DTD syntax file will highlight unknown tags as errors. If |
7 | 1367 this is annoying, it can be turned off by setting: > |
1368 | |
1369 :let dtd_no_tag_errors=1 | |
1370 | |
1371 before sourcing the dtd.vim syntax file. | |
1372 Parameter entity names are highlighted in the definition using the | |
1373 'Type' highlighting group and 'Comment' for punctuation and '%'. | |
1374 Parameter entity instances are highlighted using the 'Constant' | |
1375 highlighting group and the 'Type' highlighting group for the | |
237 | 1376 delimiters % and ;. This can be turned off by setting: > |
7 | 1377 |
1378 :let dtd_no_param_entities=1 | |
1379 | |
1380 The DTD syntax file is also included by xml.vim to highlight included dtd's. | |
1381 | |
1382 | |
501 | 1383 EIFFEL *eiffel.vim* *ft-eiffel-syntax* |
7 | 1384 |
1385 While Eiffel is not case-sensitive, its style guidelines are, and the | |
237 | 1386 syntax highlighting file encourages their use. This also allows to |
1387 highlight class names differently. If you want to disable case-sensitive | |
7 | 1388 highlighting, add the following line to your startup file: > |
1389 | |
1390 :let eiffel_ignore_case=1 | |
1391 | |
1392 Case still matters for class names and TODO marks in comments. | |
1393 | |
1394 Conversely, for even stricter checks, add one of the following lines: > | |
1395 | |
1396 :let eiffel_strict=1 | |
1397 :let eiffel_pedantic=1 | |
1398 | |
1399 Setting eiffel_strict will only catch improper capitalization for the | |
1400 five predefined words "Current", "Void", "Result", "Precursor", and | |
1401 "NONE", to warn against their accidental use as feature or class names. | |
1402 | |
1403 Setting eiffel_pedantic will enforce adherence to the Eiffel style | |
1404 guidelines fairly rigorously (like arbitrary mixes of upper- and | |
1405 lowercase letters as well as outdated ways to capitalize keywords). | |
1406 | |
1407 If you want to use the lower-case version of "Current", "Void", | |
1408 "Result", and "Precursor", you can use > | |
1409 | |
1410 :let eiffel_lower_case_predef=1 | |
1411 | |
1412 instead of completely turning case-sensitive highlighting off. | |
1413 | |
1414 Support for ISE's proposed new creation syntax that is already | |
1415 experimentally handled by some compilers can be enabled by: > | |
1416 | |
1417 :let eiffel_ise=1 | |
1418 | |
237 | 1419 Finally, some vendors support hexadecimal constants. To handle them, add > |
7 | 1420 |
1421 :let eiffel_hex_constants=1 | |
1422 | |
1423 to your startup file. | |
1424 | |
1425 | |
5697 | 1426 EUPHORIA *euphoria3.vim* *euphoria4.vim* *ft-euphoria-syntax* |
1427 | |
21250 | 1428 Two syntax highlighting files exist for Euphoria. One for Euphoria |
18831 | 1429 version 3.1.1, which is the default syntax highlighting file, and one for |
5697 | 1430 Euphoria version 4.0.5 or later. |
1431 | |
18831 | 1432 Euphoria version 3.1.1 (http://www.rapideuphoria.com/) is still necessary |
1433 for developing applications for the DOS platform, which Euphoria version 4 | |
5697 | 1434 (http://www.openeuphoria.org/) does not support. |
1435 | |
18831 | 1436 The following file extensions are auto-detected as Euphoria file type: |
1437 | |
5697 | 1438 *.e, *.eu, *.ew, *.ex, *.exu, *.exw |
1439 *.E, *.EU, *.EW, *.EX, *.EXU, *.EXW | |
1440 | |
18831 | 1441 To select syntax highlighting file for Euphoria, as well as for |
5697 | 1442 auto-detecting the *.e and *.E file extensions as Euphoria file type, |
1443 add the following line to your startup file: > | |
1444 | |
25161 | 1445 :let g:filetype_euphoria = "euphoria3" |
25056 | 1446 |
1447 < or > | |
1448 | |
25161 | 1449 :let g:filetype_euphoria = "euphoria4" |
1450 | |
27036 | 1451 Elixir and Euphoria share the *.ex file extension. If the filetype is |
25161 | 1452 specifically set as Euphoria with the g:filetype_euphoria variable, or the |
1453 file is determined to be Euphoria based on keywords in the file, then the | |
1454 filetype will be set as Euphoria. Otherwise, the filetype will default to | |
1455 Elixir. | |

1492 NOTE: This site currently doesn't work, on Wikipedia is mentioned that |
2826 | 1493 development stopped in 2009. |
857 | 1494 |
1495 Syntax highlighting is available for the most common elements of FlexWiki | |
1496 syntax. The associated ftplugin script sets some buffer-local options to make | |
1497 editing FlexWiki pages more convenient. FlexWiki considers a newline as the | |
1498 start of a new paragraph, so the ftplugin sets 'tw'=0 (unlimited line length), | |
1499 'wrap' (wrap long lines instead of using horizontal scrolling), 'linebreak' | |
1500 (to wrap at a character in 'breakat' instead of at the last char on screen), | |
1501 and so on. It also includes some keymaps that are disabled by default. | |
1502 | |
1503 If you want to enable the keymaps that make "j" and "k" and the cursor keys | |
1504 move up and down by display lines, add this to your .vimrc: > | |
1505 :let flexwiki_maps = 1 | |
1506 | |
1507 | |
501 | 1508 FORM *form.vim* *ft-form-syntax* |
7 | 1509 |
1510 The coloring scheme for syntax elements in the FORM file uses the default | |
1511 modes Conditional, Number, Statement, Comment, PreProc, Type, and String, | |
1275 | 1512 following the language specifications in 'Symbolic Manipulation with FORM' by |
7 | 1513 J.A.M. Vermaseren, CAN, Netherlands, 1991. |
1514 | |
28933 | 1515 If you want to include your own changes to the default colors, you have to |
7 | 1516 redefine the following syntax groups: |
1517 | |
1518 - formConditional | |
1519 - formNumber | |
1520 - formStatement | |
1521 - formHeaderStatement | |
1522 - formComment | |
1523 - formPreProc | |
1524 - formDirective | |
1525 - formType | |
1526 - formString | |
1527 | |
1528 Note that the form.vim syntax file implements FORM preprocessor commands and | |
1529 directives per default in the same syntax group. | |
1530 | |
1531 A predefined enhanced color mode for FORM is available to distinguish between | |
237 | 1532 header statements and statements in the body of a FORM program. To activate |
7 | 1533 this mode define the following variable in your vimrc file > |
1534 | |
1535 :let form_enhanced_color=1 | |
1536 | |
1537 The enhanced mode also takes advantage of additional color features for a dark | |
237 | 1538 gvim display. Here, statements are colored LightYellow instead of Yellow, and |
7 | 1539 conditionals are LightBlue for better distinction. |
1540 | |
27537 | 1541 Both Visual Basic and FORM use the extension ".frm". To detect which one |
1542 should be used, Vim checks for the string "VB_Name" in the first five lines of | |
1543 the file. If it is found, filetype will be "vb", otherwise "form". | |
1544 | |
1545 If the automatic detection doesn't work for you or you only edit, for | |
1546 example, FORM files, use this in your startup vimrc: > | |
1547 :let filetype_frm = "form" | |

1560 Default highlighting and dialect ~ | |
3256 | 1561 Highlighting appropriate for Fortran 2008 is used by default. This choice |
4992 | 1562 should be appropriate for most users most of the time because Fortran 2008 is |
1563 almost a superset of previous versions (Fortran 2003, 95, 90, and 77). | |

1599 Tabs in fortran files ~ | |
237 | 1600 Tabs are not recognized by the Fortran standards. Tabs are not a good idea in |
7 | 1601 fixed format fortran source code which requires fixed column boundaries. |
237 | 1602 Therefore, tabs are marked as errors. Nevertheless, some programmers like |
1603 using tabs. If your fortran files contain tabs, then you should set the | |
7 | 1604 variable fortran_have_tabs in your .vimrc with a command such as > |
1605 :let fortran_have_tabs=1 | |
237 | 1606 placed prior to the :syntax on command. Unfortunately, the use of tabs will |
7 | 1607 mean that the syntax file will not be able to detect incorrect margins. |
1608 | |
1609 Syntax folding of fortran files ~ | |
1610 If you wish to use foldmethod=syntax, then you must first set the variable | |
1611 fortran_fold with a command such as > | |
1612 :let fortran_fold=1 | |
1613 to instruct the syntax script to define fold regions for program units, that | |
1614 is main programs starting with a program statement, subroutines, function | |
237 | 1615 subprograms, block data subprograms, interface blocks, and modules. If you |
7 | 1616 also set the variable fortran_fold_conditionals with a command such as > |
1617 :let fortran_fold_conditionals=1 | |
1618 then fold regions will also be defined for do loops, if blocks, and select | |
237 | 1619 case constructs. If you also set the variable |
7 | 1620 fortran_fold_multilinecomments with a command such as > |
1621 :let fortran_fold_multilinecomments=1 | |
1622 then fold regions will also be defined for three or more consecutive comment | |
237 | 1623 lines. Note that defining fold regions can be slow for large files. |
7 | 1624 |
1625 If fortran_fold, and possibly fortran_fold_conditionals and/or | |
1626 fortran_fold_multilinecomments, have been set, then vim will fold your file if | |
237 | 1627 you set foldmethod=syntax. Comments or blank lines placed between two program |
7 | 1628 units are not folded because they are seen as not belonging to any program |
1629 unit. | |
1630 | |
1631 More precise fortran syntax ~ | |
1632 If you set the variable fortran_more_precise with a command such as > | |
1633 :let fortran_more_precise=1 | |
237 | 1634 then the syntax coloring will be more precise but slower. In particular, |
7 | 1635 statement labels used in do, goto and arithmetic if statements will be |
1636 recognized, as will construct names at the end of a do, if, select or forall | |
1637 construct. | |
1638 | |
1639 Non-default fortran dialects ~ | |
3281 | 1640 The syntax script supports two Fortran dialects: f08 and F. You will probably |
1641 find the default highlighting (f08) satisfactory. A few legacy constructs | |
1642 deleted or declared obsolescent in the 2008 standard are highlighted as todo | |
1643 items. | |
1644 | |
1645 If you use F, the advantage of setting the dialect appropriately is that | |
1646 other legacy features excluded from F will be highlighted as todo items and | |
4992 | 1647 that free source form will be assumed. |
3281 | 1648 |
1649 The dialect can be selected in various ways. If all your fortran files use | |
1650 the same dialect, set the global variable fortran_dialect in your .vimrc prior | |
1651 to your syntax on statement. The case-sensitive, permissible values of | |
1652 fortran_dialect are "f08" or "F". Invalid values of fortran_dialect are | |
1653 ignored. | |
1654 | |
1655 If the dialect depends upon the file extension, then it is most convenient to | |
1656 set a buffer-local variable in a ftplugin file. For more information on | |
1657 ftplugin files, see |ftplugin|. For example, if all your fortran files with | |
1658 an .f90 extension are written in the F subset, your ftplugin file should | |
1659 contain the code > | |
7 | 1660 let s:extfname = expand("%:e") |
1661 if s:extfname ==? "f90" | |
3281 | 1662 let b:fortran_dialect="F" |
7 | 1663 else |
3281 | 1664 unlet! b:fortran_dialect |
7 | 1665 endif |
1666 Note that this will work only if the "filetype plugin indent on" command | |
1667 precedes the "syntax on" command in your .vimrc file. | |
1668 | |
1669 Finer control is necessary if the file extension does not uniquely identify | |
3281 | 1670 the dialect. You can override the default dialect, on a file-by-file basis, |
1671 by including a comment with the directive "fortran_dialect=xx" (where xx=F or | |
1672 f08) in one of the first three lines in your file. For example, your older .f | |
1673 files may be legacy code but your newer ones may be F codes, and you would | |
1674 identify the latter by including in the first three lines of those files a | |
1675 Fortran comment of the form > | |
7 | 1676 ! fortran_dialect=F |
3281 | 1677 |
1678 For previous versions of the syntax, you may have set fortran_dialect to the | |
1679 now-obsolete values "f77", "f90", "f95", or "elf". Such settings will be | |
1680 silently handled as "f08". Users of "elf" may wish to experiment with "F" | |
4992 | 1681 instead. |
3281 | 1682 |
1683 The syntax/fortran.vim script contains embedded comments that tell you how to | |
1684 comment and/or uncomment some lines to (a) activate recognition of some | |
1685 non-standard, vendor-supplied intrinsics and (b) to prevent features deleted | |
1686 or declared obsolescent in the 2008 standard from being highlighted as todo | |
4992 | 1687 items. |
7 | 1688 |
1689 Limitations ~ | |
237 | 1690 Parenthesis checking does not catch too few closing parentheses. Hollerith |
1691 strings are not recognized. Some keywords may be highlighted incorrectly | |
7 | 1692 because Fortran90 has no reserved words. |
1693 | |
501 | 1694 For further information related to fortran, see |ft-fortran-indent| and |
1695 |ft-fortran-plugin|. | |
1696 | |
29352 | 1697 FREEBASIC *freebasic.vim* *ft-freebasic-syntax* |
1698 | |
1699 FreeBASIC files will be highlighted differently for each of the four available | |
1700 dialects, "fb", "qb", "fblite" and "deprecated". See |ft-freebasic-plugin| | |
1701 for how to select the correct dialect. | |
1702 | |
1703 Highlighting is further configurable via the following variables. | |
1704 | |
1705 Variable Highlight ~ | |
1706 *freebasic_no_comment_fold* disable multiline comment folding | |
1707 *freebasic_operators* non-alpha operators | |
1708 *freebasic_space_errors* trailing white space and spaces before a <Tab> | |
1709 *freebasic_type_suffixes* QuickBASIC style type suffixes | |
1710 | |
1711 | |
501 | 1712 |
1713 FVWM CONFIGURATION FILES *fvwm.vim* *ft-fvwm-syntax* | |
7 | 1714 |
1715 In order for Vim to recognize Fvwm configuration files that do not match | |
1716 the patterns *fvwmrc* or *fvwm2rc* , you must put additional patterns | |
1717 appropriate to your system in your myfiletypes.vim file. For these | |
1718 patterns, you must set the variable "b:fvwm_version" to the major version | |
1719 number of Fvwm, and the 'filetype' option to fvwm. | |
1720 | |
1721 For example, to make Vim identify all files in /etc/X11/fvwm2/ | |
1722 as Fvwm2 configuration files, add the following: > | |
1723 | |
1724 :au! BufNewFile,BufRead /etc/X11/fvwm2/* let b:fvwm_version = 2 | | |
1725 \ set filetype=fvwm | |
1726 | |
501 | 1727 GSP *gsp.vim* *ft-gsp-syntax* |
7 | 1728 |
1729 The default coloring style for GSP pages is defined by |html.vim|, and | |
1730 the coloring for java code (within java tags or inline between backticks) | |
1731 is defined by |java.vim|. The following HTML groups defined in |html.vim| | |
1732 are redefined to incorporate and highlight inline java code: | |
1733 | |
1734 htmlString | |
1735 htmlValue | |
1736 htmlEndTag | |
1737 htmlTag | |
1738 htmlTagN | |
1739 | |
1740 Highlighting should look fine most of the places where you'd see inline | |
1741 java code, but in some special cases it may not. To add another HTML | |
1742 group where you will have inline java code where it does not highlight | |
1743 correctly, just copy the line you want from |html.vim| and add gspJava | |
1744 to the contains clause. | |
1745 | |
1746 The backticks for inline java are highlighted according to the htmlError | |
1747 group to make them easier to see. | |
1748 | |
1749 | |
501 | 1750 GROFF *groff.vim* *ft-groff-syntax* |
7 | 1751 |
1752 The groff syntax file is a wrapper for |nroff.vim|, see the notes | |
237 | 1753 under that heading for examples of use and configuration. The purpose |
7 | 1754 of this wrapper is to set up groff syntax extensions by setting the |
1755 filetype from a |modeline| or in a personal filetype definitions file | |
1756 (see |filetype.txt|). | |
1757 | |
1758 | |
501 | 1759 HASKELL *haskell.vim* *lhaskell.vim* *ft-haskell-syntax* |
7 | 1760 |
1761 The Haskell syntax files support plain Haskell code as well as literate | |
237 | 1762 Haskell code, the latter in both Bird style and TeX style. The Haskell |
7 | 1763 syntax highlighting will also highlight C preprocessor directives. |
1764 | |
1765 If you want to highlight delimiter characters (useful if you have a | |
1766 light-coloured background), add to your .vimrc: > | |
1767 :let hs_highlight_delimiters = 1 | |
1768 To treat True and False as keywords as opposed to ordinary identifiers, | |
1769 add: > | |
1770 :let hs_highlight_boolean = 1 | |
1771 To also treat the names of primitive types as keywords: > | |
1772 :let hs_highlight_types = 1 | |
1773 And to treat the names of even more relatively common types as keywords: > | |
1774 :let hs_highlight_more_types = 1 | |
1775 If you want to highlight the names of debugging functions, put in | |
1776 your .vimrc: > | |
1777 :let hs_highlight_debug = 1 | |
1778 | |
1779 The Haskell syntax highlighting also highlights C preprocessor | |
1780 directives, and flags lines that start with # but are not valid | |
237 | 1781 directives as erroneous. This interferes with Haskell's syntax for |
1782 operators, as they may start with #. If you want to highlight those | |
7 | 1783 as operators as opposed to errors, put in your .vimrc: > |
1784 :let hs_allow_hash_operator = 1 | |
1785 | |
1786 The syntax highlighting for literate Haskell code will try to | |
1787 automatically guess whether your literate Haskell code contains | |
1788 TeX markup or not, and correspondingly highlight TeX constructs | |
237 | 1789 or nothing at all. You can override this globally by putting |
7 | 1790 in your .vimrc > |
1791 :let lhs_markup = none | |
1792 for no highlighting at all, or > | |
1793 :let lhs_markup = tex | |
1794 to force the highlighting to always try to highlight TeX markup. | |
1795 For more flexibility, you may also use buffer local versions of | |
1796 this variable, so e.g. > | |
1797 :let b:lhs_markup = tex | |
237 | 1798 will force TeX highlighting for a particular buffer. It has to be |
7 | 1799 set before turning syntax highlighting on for the buffer or |
1800 loading a file. | |
1801 | |
1802 | |
501 | 1803 HTML *html.vim* *ft-html-syntax* |
7 | 1804 |
1805 The coloring scheme for tags in the HTML file works as follows. | |
1806 | |
1807 The <> of opening tags are colored differently than the </> of a closing tag. | |
1808 This is on purpose! For opening tags the 'Function' color is used, while for | |
24103 | 1809 closing tags the 'Identifier' color is used (See syntax.vim to check how those |
1810 are defined for you) | |
7 | 1811 |
1812 Known tag names are colored the same way as statements in C. Unknown tag | |
1813 names are colored with the same color as the <> or </> respectively which | |
1814 makes it easy to spot errors | |
1815 | |
237 | 1816 Note that the same is true for argument (or attribute) names. Known attribute |
7 | 1817 names are colored differently than unknown ones. |
1818 | |
237 | 1819 Some HTML tags are used to change the rendering of text. The following tags |
7 | 1820 are recognized by the html.vim syntax coloring file and change the way normal |
1821 text is shown: <B> <I> <U> <EM> <STRONG> (<EM> is used as an alias for <I>, | |
1822 while <STRONG> as an alias for <B>), <H1> - <H6>, <HEAD>, <TITLE> and <A>, but | |
237 | 1823 only if used as a link (that is, it must include a href as in |
1224 | 1824 <A href="somefile.html">). |
7 | 1825 |
1826 If you want to change how such text is rendered, you must redefine the | |
1827 following syntax groups: | |
1828 | |
1829 - htmlBold | |
1830 - htmlBoldUnderline | |
1831 - htmlBoldUnderlineItalic | |
1832 - htmlUnderline | |
1833 - htmlUnderlineItalic | |
1834 - htmlItalic | |
1835 - htmlTitle for titles | |
1836 - htmlH1 - htmlH6 for headings | |
1837 | |
1838 To make this redefinition work you must redefine them all with the exception | |
1839 of the last two (htmlTitle and htmlH[1-6], which are optional) and define the | |
1840 following variable in your vimrc (this is due to the order in which the files | |
1841 are read during initialization) > | |
1842 :let html_my_rendering=1 | |
1843 | |
1844 If you'd like to see an example download mysyntax.vim at | |
1845 http://www.fleiner.com/vim/download.html | |
1846 | |
1847 You can also disable this rendering by adding the following line to your | |
1848 vimrc file: > | |
1849 :let html_no_rendering=1 | |
1850 | |
1851 HTML comments are rather special (see an HTML reference document for the | |
1852 details), and the syntax coloring scheme will highlight all errors. | |
1853 However, if you prefer to use the wrong style (starts with <!-- and | |

7 | 1861 |
1862 Embedded and inlined cascading style sheets (CSS) are highlighted too. | |
1863 | |
237 | 1864 There are several html preprocessor languages out there. html.vim has been |
1865 written such that it should be trivial to include it. To do so add the | |
7 | 1866 following two lines to the syntax coloring file for that language |
1867 (the example comes from the asp.vim file): | |
18016 | 1868 > |
7 | 1869 runtime! syntax/html.vim |
1870 syn cluster htmlPreproc add=asp | |
1871 | |
1872 Now you just need to make sure that you add all regions that contain | |
1873 the preprocessor language to the cluster htmlPreproc. | |

1881 doesn't specify different colors for Functions and Identifiers. To change | |
1882 this (which is recommended if you want function names to be recognizable in a | |
1883 different color) you need to add the following line to either your ~/.vimrc: > | |
1884 :hi Function term=underline cterm=bold ctermfg=LightGray | |
1885 | |
1886 Of course, the ctermfg can be a different color if you choose. | |
1887 | |
1888 Another issues that HTML/OS runs into is that there is no special filetype to | |
1889 signify that it is a file with HTML/OS coding. You can change this by opening | |
1890 a file and turning on HTML/OS syntax by doing the following: > | |
1891 :set syntax=htmlos | |
1892 | |
1893 Lastly, it should be noted that the opening and closing characters to begin a | |
1894 block of HTML/OS code can either be << or [[ and >> or ]], respectively. | |

501 | 1897 IA64 *ia64.vim* *intel-itanium* *ft-ia64-syntax* |
7 | 1898 |
1899 Highlighting for the Intel Itanium 64 assembly language. See |asm.vim| for | |
1900 how to recognize this filetype. | |
1901 | |
1902 To have *.inc files be recognized as IA64, add this to your .vimrc file: > | |
1903 :let g:filetype_inc = "ia64" | |
1904 | |
1905 | |
501 | 1906 INFORM *inform.vim* *ft-inform-syntax* |
7 | 1907 |
1908 Inform highlighting includes symbols provided by the Inform Library, as | |
1909 most programs make extensive use of it. If do not wish Library symbols | |
1910 to be highlighted add this to your vim startup: > | |
1911 :let inform_highlight_simple=1 | |
1912 | |
1913 By default it is assumed that Inform programs are Z-machine targeted, | |
1914 and highlights Z-machine assembly language symbols appropriately. If | |
1915 you intend your program to be targeted to a Glulx/Glk environment you | |
1916 need to add this to your startup sequence: > | |
1917 :let inform_highlight_glulx=1 | |
1918 | |
1919 This will highlight Glulx opcodes instead, and also adds glk() to the | |
1920 set of highlighted system functions. | |
1921 | |
1922 The Inform compiler will flag certain obsolete keywords as errors when | |
1923 it encounters them. These keywords are normally highlighted as errors | |
1924 by Vim. To prevent such error highlighting, you must add this to your | |
1925 startup sequence: > | |
1926 :let inform_suppress_obsolete=1 | |
1927 | |
1928 By default, the language features highlighted conform to Compiler | |
1929 version 6.30 and Library version 6.11. If you are using an older | |
1930 Inform development environment, you may with to add this to your | |
1931 startup sequence: > | |
1932 :let inform_highlight_old=1 | |
1933 | |
829 | 1934 IDL *idl.vim* *idl-syntax* |
1935 | |
1936 IDL (Interface Definition Language) files are used to define RPC calls. In | |
1937 Microsoft land, this is also used for defining COM interfaces and calls. | |
1938 | |
1939 IDL's structure is simple enough to permit a full grammar based approach to | |
1940 rather than using a few heuristics. The result is large and somewhat | |
1224 | 1941 repetitive but seems to work. |
829 | 1942 |
1943 There are some Microsoft extensions to idl files that are here. Some of them | |
1944 are disabled by defining idl_no_ms_extensions. | |
1945 | |
1946 The more complex of the extensions are disabled by defining idl_no_extensions. | |
1947 | |
1948 Variable Effect ~ | |
1949 | |
1950 idl_no_ms_extensions Disable some of the Microsoft specific | |
1951 extensions | |
1952 idl_no_extensions Disable complex extensions | |
1953 idlsyntax_showerror Show IDL errors (can be rather intrusive, but | |
1954 quite helpful) | |
1955 idlsyntax_showerror_soft Use softer colours by default for errors | |

501 | 1958 JAVA *java.vim* *ft-java-syntax* |
7 | 1959 |
1960 The java.vim syntax highlighting file offers several options: | |
1961 | |
1962 In Java 1.0.2 it was never possible to have braces inside parens, so this was | |
1963 flagged as an error. Since Java 1.1 this is possible (with anonymous | |

|
1965 old way, put the following line into your vim startup file: > |
7 | 1966 :let java_mark_braces_in_parens_as_errors=1 |
1967 | |
1968 All identifiers in java.lang.* are always visible in all classes. To | |
1969 highlight them use: > | |
1970 :let java_highlight_java_lang_ids=1 | |
1971 | |
237 | 1972 You can also highlight identifiers of most standard Java packages if you |
7 | 1973 download the javaid.vim script at http://www.fleiner.com/vim/download.html. |
1974 If you prefer to only highlight identifiers of a certain package, say java.io | |
1975 use the following: > | |
1976 :let java_highlight_java_io=1 | |
1977 Check the javaid.vim file for a list of all the packages that are supported. | |
1978 | |
1979 Function names are not highlighted, as the way to find functions depends on | |
237 | 1980 how you write Java code. The syntax file knows two possible ways to highlight |
7 | 1981 functions: |
1982 | |
1983 If you write function declarations that are always indented by either | |
1984 a tab, 8 spaces or 2 spaces you may want to set > | |
1985 :let java_highlight_functions="indent" | |
1986 However, if you follow the Java guidelines about how functions and classes are | |
1987 supposed to be named (with respect to upper and lowercase), use > | |
1988 :let java_highlight_functions="style" | |
1989 If both options do not work for you, but you would still want function | |
1990 declarations to be highlighted create your own definitions by changing the | |
1991 definitions in java.vim or by creating your own java.vim which includes the | |
1992 original one and then adds the code to highlight functions. | |
1993 | |
237 | 1994 In Java 1.1 the functions System.out.println() and System.err.println() should |
8 | 1995 only be used for debugging. Therefore it is possible to highlight debugging |
237 | 1996 statements differently. To do this you must add the following definition in |
7 | 1997 your startup file: > |
1998 :let java_highlight_debug=1 | |
1999 The result will be that those statements are highlighted as 'Special' | |
237 | 2000 characters. If you prefer to have them highlighted differently you must define |
7 | 2001 new highlightings for the following groups.: |
2002 Debug, DebugSpecial, DebugString, DebugBoolean, DebugType | |
2003 which are used for the statement itself, special characters used in debug | |
237 | 2004 strings, strings, boolean constants and types (this, super) respectively. I |
21499 | 2005 have opted to choose another background for those statements. |
7 | 2006 |
237 | 2007 Javadoc is a program that takes special comments out of Java program files and |
2008 creates HTML pages. The standard configuration will highlight this HTML code | |
2009 similarly to HTML files (see |html.vim|). You can even add Javascript | |
2010 and CSS inside this code (see below). There are four differences however: | |
7 | 2011 1. The title (all characters up to the first '.' which is followed by |
2012 some white space or up to the first '@') is colored differently (to change | |
2013 the color change the group CommentTitle). | |
2014 2. The text is colored as 'Comment'. | |
2015 3. HTML comments are colored as 'Special' | |
237 | 2016 4. The special Javadoc tags (@see, @param, ...) are highlighted as specials |
7 | 2017 and the argument (for @see, @param, @exception) as Function. |
2018 To turn this feature off add the following line to your startup file: > | |
2019 :let java_ignore_javadoc=1 | |
2020 | |
237 | 2021 If you use the special Javadoc comment highlighting described above you |
2022 can also turn on special highlighting for Javascript, visual basic | |
2023 scripts and embedded CSS (stylesheets). This makes only sense if you | |
2024 actually have Javadoc comments that include either Javascript or embedded | |
2025 CSS. The options to use are > | |
7 | 2026 :let java_javascript=1 |
2027 :let java_css=1 | |
2028 :let java_vb=1 | |
2029 | |
2030 In order to highlight nested parens with different colors define colors | |
2031 for javaParen, javaParen1 and javaParen2, for example with > | |
2032 :hi link javaParen Comment | |
2033 or > | |
2034 :hi javaParen ctermfg=blue guifg=#0000ff | |
2035 | |
2036 If you notice highlighting errors while scrolling backwards, which are fixed | |
2037 when redrawing with CTRL-L, try setting the "java_minlines" internal variable | |
2038 to a larger number: > | |
2039 :let java_minlines = 50 | |
2040 This will make the syntax synchronization start 50 lines before the first | |
2041 displayed line. The default value is 10. The disadvantage of using a larger | |
2042 number is that redrawing can become slow. | |
2043 | |
2044 | |
18130 | 2045 JSON *json.vim* *ft-json-syntax* |
2046 | |
2047 The json syntax file provides syntax highlighting with conceal support by | |
2048 default. To disable concealment: > | |
2049 let g:vim_json_conceal = 0 | |
2050 | |
2051 To disable syntax highlighting of errors: > | |
2052 let g:vim_json_warnings = 0 | |

2054 | |
501 | 2055 LACE *lace.vim* *ft-lace-syntax* |
7 | 2056 |
2057 Lace (Language for Assembly of Classes in Eiffel) is case insensitive, but the | |
2058 style guide lines are not. If you prefer case insensitive highlighting, just | |
2059 define the vim variable 'lace_case_insensitive' in your startup file: > | |
2060 :let lace_case_insensitive=1 | |
2061 | |
2062 | |
501 | 2063 LEX *lex.vim* *ft-lex-syntax* |
7 | 2064 |
2065 Lex uses brute-force synchronizing as the "^%%$" section delimiter | |
2066 gives no clue as to what section follows. Consequently, the value for > | |
2067 :syn sync minlines=300 | |
2068 may be changed by the user if s/he is experiencing synchronization | |
2069 difficulties (such as may happen with large lex files). | |

2089 < | |
2090 The g:lisp_rainbow option provides 10 levels of individual colorization for | |
2091 the parentheses and backquoted parentheses. Because of the quantity of | |
2092 colorization levels, unlike non-rainbow highlighting, the rainbow mode | |
2093 specifies its highlighting using ctermfg and guifg, thereby bypassing the | |
16208 | 2094 usual color scheme control using standard highlighting groups. The actual |
555 | 2095 highlighting used depends on the dark/bright setting (see |'bg'|). |
2096 | |

501 | 2098 LITE *lite.vim* *ft-lite-syntax* |

501 | 2112 LPC *lpc.vim* *ft-lpc-syntax* |
7 | 2113 |
14123 | 2114 LPC stands for a simple, memory-efficient language: Lars Pensjö C. The |
7 | 2115 file name of LPC is usually *.c. Recognizing these files as LPC would bother |
2116 users writing only C programs. If you want to use LPC syntax in Vim, you | |
2117 should set a variable in your .vimrc file: > | |
2118 | |
2119 :let lpc_syntax_for_c = 1 | |
2120 | |
2121 If it doesn't work properly for some particular C or LPC files, use a | |
2122 modeline. For a LPC file: | |
2123 | |
2124 // vim:set ft=lpc: | |
2125 | |
2126 For a C file that is recognized as LPC: | |
2127 | |
2128 // vim:set ft=c: | |
2129 | |
2130 If you don't want to set the variable, use the modeline in EVERY LPC file. | |
2131 | |
2132 There are several implementations for LPC, we intend to support most widely | |
237 | 2133 used ones. Here the default LPC syntax is for MudOS series, for MudOS v22 |
7 | 2134 and before, you should turn off the sensible modifiers, and this will also |
5814 | 2135 assert the new efuns after v22 to be invalid, don't set this variable when |
7 | 2136 you are using the latest version of MudOS: > |
2137 | |
2138 :let lpc_pre_v22 = 1 | |
2139 | |
2140 For LpMud 3.2 series of LPC: > | |
2141 | |
2142 :let lpc_compat_32 = 1 | |
2143 | |
2144 For LPC4 series of LPC: > | |
2145 | |
2146 :let lpc_use_lpc4_syntax = 1 | |
2147 | |
2148 For uLPC series of LPC: | |
2149 uLPC has been developed to Pike, so you should use Pike syntax | |
2150 instead, and the name of your source file should be *.pike | |
2151 | |
2152 | |
501 | 2153 LUA *lua.vim* *ft-lua-syntax* |
7 | 2154 |
3356 | 2155 The Lua syntax file can be used for versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 (5.2 is |
838 | 2156 the default). You can select one of these versions using the global variables |
2157 lua_version and lua_subversion. For example, to activate Lua | |
3356 | 2158 5.1 syntax highlighting, set the variables like this: |
838 | 2159 |
2160 :let lua_version = 5 | |
2161 :let lua_subversion = 1 | |
7 | 2162 |
2163 | |
501 | 2164 MAIL *mail.vim* *ft-mail.vim* |
7 | 2165 |
2166 Vim highlights all the standard elements of an email (headers, signatures, | |
237 | 2167 quoted text and URLs / email addresses). In keeping with standard conventions, |
7 | 2168 signatures begin in a line containing only "--" followed optionally by |
2169 whitespaces and end with a newline. | |
2170 | |
2171 Vim treats lines beginning with ']', '}', '|', '>' or a word followed by '>' | |
237 | 2172 as quoted text. However Vim highlights headers and signatures in quoted text |
7 | 2173 only if the text is quoted with '>' (optionally followed by one space). |
2174 | |
2175 By default mail.vim synchronises syntax to 100 lines before the first | |
237 | 2176 displayed line. If you have a slow machine, and generally deal with emails |
7 | 2177 with short headers, you can change this to a smaller value: > |

2186 feature off by using: > | |

2194 supports many packages of functions which are selectively loaded by the user. | |
2195 The standard set of packages' functions as supplied in Maple V release 4 may be | |
2196 highlighted at the user's discretion. Users may place in their .vimrc file: > | |

12254 | 2283 N1QL *n1ql.vim* *ft-n1ql-syntax* |
2284 | |
2285 N1QL is a SQL-like declarative language for manipulating JSON documents in | |
2286 Couchbase Server databases. | |
2287 | |
2288 Vim syntax highlights N1QL statements, keywords, operators, types, comments, | |
2289 and special values. Vim ignores syntactical elements specific to SQL or its | |
2290 many dialects, like COLUMN or CHAR, that don't exist in N1QL. | |
2291 | |
2292 | |
501 | 2293 NCF *ncf.vim* *ft-ncf-syntax* |
7 | 2294 |
2295 There is one option for NCF syntax highlighting. | |
2296 | |
2297 If you want to have unrecognized (by ncf.vim) statements highlighted as | |
2298 errors, use this: > | |
2299 | |
2300 :let ncf_highlight_unknowns = 1 | |
2301 | |
2302 If you don't want to highlight these errors, leave it unset. | |
2303 | |
2304 | |
501 | 2305 NROFF *nroff.vim* *ft-nroff-syntax* |
7 | 2306 |
2307 The nroff syntax file works with AT&T n/troff out of the box. You need to | |
2308 activate the GNU groff extra features included in the syntax file before you | |
2309 can use them. | |
2310 | |
2311 For example, Linux and BSD distributions use groff as their default text | |
237 | 2312 processing package. In order to activate the extra syntax highlighting |
24278 | 2313 features for groff, arrange for files to be recognized as groff (see |
2314 |ft-groff-syntax|) or add the following option to your start-up files: > | |
2315 | |
2316 :let nroff_is_groff = 1 | |
7 | 2317 |
2318 Groff is different from the old AT&T n/troff that you may still find in | |
2319 Solaris. Groff macro and request names can be longer than 2 characters and | |
2320 there are extensions to the language primitives. For example, in AT&T troff | |
237 | 2321 you access the year as a 2-digit number with the request \(yr. In groff you |
7 | 2322 can use the same request, recognized for compatibility, or you can use groff's |
2323 native syntax, \[yr]. Furthermore, you can use a 4-digit year directly: | |
2324 \[year]. Macro requests can be longer than 2 characters, for example, GNU mm | |
2325 accepts the requests ".VERBON" and ".VERBOFF" for creating verbatim | |
2326 environments. | |
2327 | |
2328 In order to obtain the best formatted output g/troff can give you, you should | |
2329 follow a few simple rules about spacing and punctuation. | |
2330 | |
2331 1. Do not leave empty spaces at the end of lines. | |
2332 | |
2333 2. Leave one space and one space only after an end-of-sentence period, | |
2334 exclamation mark, etc. | |
2335 | |
2336 3. For reasons stated below, it is best to follow all period marks with a | |
2337 carriage return. | |
2338 | |
2339 The reason behind these unusual tips is that g/n/troff have a line breaking | |
2340 algorithm that can be easily upset if you don't follow the rules given above. | |
2341 | |
2342 Unlike TeX, troff fills text line-by-line, not paragraph-by-paragraph and, | |
2343 furthermore, it does not have a concept of glue or stretch, all horizontal and | |
2344 vertical space input will be output as is. | |
2345 | |
2346 Therefore, you should be careful about not using more space between sentences | |
2347 than you intend to have in your final document. For this reason, the common | |
2348 practice is to insert a carriage return immediately after all punctuation | |
237 | 2349 marks. If you want to have "even" text in your final processed output, you |
4264 | 2350 need to maintain regular spacing in the input text. To mark both trailing |
7 | 2351 spaces and two or more spaces after a punctuation as an error, use: > |
2352 | |
2353 :let nroff_space_errors = 1 | |
2354 | |
2355 Another technique to detect extra spacing and other errors that will interfere | |
2356 with the correct typesetting of your file, is to define an eye-catching | |
2357 highlighting definition for the syntax groups "nroffDefinition" and | |
237 | 2358 "nroffDefSpecial" in your configuration files. For example: > |
7 | 2359 |
2360 hi def nroffDefinition term=italic cterm=italic gui=reverse | |
2361 hi def nroffDefSpecial term=italic,bold cterm=italic,bold | |
2362 \ gui=reverse,bold | |
2363 | |
2364 If you want to navigate preprocessor entries in your source file as easily as | |
2365 with section markers, you can activate the following option in your .vimrc | |
2366 file: > | |
2367 | |
2368 let b:preprocs_as_sections = 1 | |
2369 | |
9 | 2370 As well, the syntax file adds an extra paragraph marker for the extended |
7 | 2371 paragraph macro (.XP) in the ms package. |
2372 | |
2373 Finally, there is a |groff.vim| syntax file that can be used for enabling | |
2374 groff syntax highlighting either on a file basis or globally by default. | |
2375 | |
2376 | |
501 | 2377 OCAML *ocaml.vim* *ft-ocaml-syntax* |
7 | 2378 |
2379 The OCaml syntax file handles files having the following prefixes: .ml, | |
2380 .mli, .mll and .mly. By setting the following variable > | |
2381 | |
2382 :let ocaml_revised = 1 | |
2383 | |
2384 you can switch from standard OCaml-syntax to revised syntax as supported | |
2385 by the camlp4 preprocessor. Setting the variable > | |
2386 | |
2387 :let ocaml_noend_error = 1 | |
2388 | |
2389 prevents highlighting of "end" as error, which is useful when sources | |
2390 contain very long structures that Vim does not synchronize anymore. | |
2391 | |
2392 | |
501 | 2393 PAPP *papp.vim* *ft-papp-syntax* |
7 | 2394 |
19163 | 2395 The PApp syntax file handles .papp files and, to a lesser extent, .pxml |
7 | 2396 and .pxsl files which are all a mixture of perl/xml/html/other using xml |
237 | 2397 as the top-level file format. By default everything inside phtml or pxml |
2398 sections is treated as a string with embedded preprocessor commands. If | |
7 | 2399 you set the variable: > |
2400 | |
2401 :let papp_include_html=1 | |
2402 | |
2403 in your startup file it will try to syntax-hilight html code inside phtml | |
2404 sections, but this is relatively slow and much too colourful to be able to | |
237 | 2405 edit sensibly. ;) |
7 | 2406 |
2407 The newest version of the papp.vim syntax file can usually be found at | |
2408 http://papp.plan9.de. | |
2409 | |
2410 | |
501 | 2411 PASCAL *pascal.vim* *ft-pascal-syntax* |
7 | 2412 |
23666 | 2413 Files matching "*.p" could be Progress or Pascal and those matching "*.pp" |
2414 could be Puppet or Pascal. If the automatic detection doesn't work for you, | |
2415 or you only edit Pascal files, use this in your startup vimrc: > | |
2416 | |
2417 :let filetype_p = "pascal" | |
2418 :let filetype_pp = "pascal" | |
7 | 2419 |
2420 The Pascal syntax file has been extended to take into account some extensions | |
2421 provided by Turbo Pascal, Free Pascal Compiler and GNU Pascal Compiler. | |
237 | 2422 Delphi keywords are also supported. By default, Turbo Pascal 7.0 features are |
7 | 2423 enabled. If you prefer to stick with the standard Pascal keywords, add the |
2424 following line to your startup file: > | |
2425 | |
2426 :let pascal_traditional=1 | |
2427 | |
2428 To switch on Delphi specific constructions (such as one-line comments, | |
2429 keywords, etc): > | |
2430 | |
2431 :let pascal_delphi=1 | |
2432 | |
2433 | |
2434 The option pascal_symbol_operator controls whether symbol operators such as +, | |
2435 *, .., etc. are displayed using the Operator color or not. To colorize symbol | |
2436 operators, add the following line to your startup file: > | |
2437 | |
2438 :let pascal_symbol_operator=1 | |
2439 | |
2440 Some functions are highlighted by default. To switch it off: > | |
2441 | |
2442 :let pascal_no_functions=1 | |

2444 Furthermore, there are specific variables for some compilers. Besides |
7 | 2445 pascal_delphi, there are pascal_gpc and pascal_fpc. Default extensions try to |
2446 match Turbo Pascal. > | |
2447 | |
2448 :let pascal_gpc=1 | |
2449 | |
2450 or > | |
2451 | |
2452 :let pascal_fpc=1 | |
2453 | |
2454 To ensure that strings are defined on a single line, you can define the | |
2455 pascal_one_line_string variable. > | |
2456 | |
2457 :let pascal_one_line_string=1 | |
2458 | |
2459 If you dislike <Tab> chars, you can set the pascal_no_tabs variable. Tabs | |
2460 will be highlighted as Error. > | |
2461 | |
2462 :let pascal_no_tabs=1 | |
2463 | |
2464 | |
2465 | |
501 | 2466 PERL *perl.vim* *ft-perl-syntax* |
7 | 2467 |
2468 There are a number of possible options to the perl syntax highlighting. | |
2469 | |
4992 | 2470 Inline POD highlighting is now turned on by default. If you don't wish |
2471 to have the added complexity of highlighting POD embedded within Perl | |
2472 files, you may set the 'perl_include_pod' option to 0: > | |
2473 | |
2474 :let perl_include_pod = 0 | |
7 | 2475 |
5968 | 2476 To reduce the complexity of parsing (and increase performance) you can switch |
22 | 2477 off two elements in the parsing of variable names and contents. > |
2478 | |
2479 To handle package references in variable and function names not differently | |
2480 from the rest of the name (like 'PkgName::' in '$PkgName::VarName'): > | |
2481 | |
2482 :let perl_no_scope_in_variables = 1 | |
2483 | |
2484 (In Vim 6.x it was the other way around: "perl_want_scope_in_variables" | |
2485 enabled it.) | |
2486 | |
2487 If you do not want complex things like '@{${"foo"}}' to be parsed: > | |
2488 | |
2489 :let perl_no_extended_vars = 1 | |
2490 | |
26 | 2491 (In Vim 6.x it was the other way around: "perl_extended_vars" enabled it.) |

2647 | |
2648 First which version of the PostScript language to highlight. There are | |
2649 currently three defined language versions, or levels. Level 1 is the original | |
2650 and base version, and includes all extensions prior to the release of level 2. | |
2651 Level 2 is the most common version around, and includes its own set of | |
2652 extensions prior to the release of level 3. Level 3 is currently the highest | |
2653 level supported. You select which level of the PostScript language you want | |
2654 highlighted by defining the postscr_level variable as follows: > | |
2655 | |
2656 :let postscr_level=2 | |
2657 | |
2658 If this variable is not defined it defaults to 2 (level 2) since this is | |
2659 the most prevalent version currently. | |

2661 Note: Not all PS interpreters will support all language features for a |
7 | 2662 particular language level. In particular the %!PS-Adobe-3.0 at the start of |
2663 PS files does NOT mean the PostScript present is level 3 PostScript! | |
2664 | |
2665 If you are working with Display PostScript, you can include highlighting of | |
2666 Display PS language features by defining the postscr_display variable as | |
2667 follows: > | |
2668 | |
2669 :let postscr_display=1 | |
2670 | |
2671 If you are working with Ghostscript, you can include highlighting of | |
2672 Ghostscript specific language features by defining the variable | |
2673 postscr_ghostscript as follows: > | |
2674 | |
2675 :let postscr_ghostscript=1 | |
2676 | |
2677 PostScript is a large language, with many predefined elements. While it | |
2678 useful to have all these elements highlighted, on slower machines this can | |
2679 cause Vim to slow down. In an attempt to be machine friendly font names and | |
2680 character encodings are not highlighted by default. Unless you are working | |
2681 explicitly with either of these this should be ok. If you want them to be | |
2682 highlighted you should set one or both of the following variables: > | |
2683 | |
2684 :let postscr_fonts=1 | |
2685 :let postscr_encodings=1 | |
2686 | |
2687 There is a stylistic option to the highlighting of and, or, and not. In | |
2688 PostScript the function of these operators depends on the types of their | |
2689 operands - if the operands are booleans then they are the logical operators, | |
2690 if they are integers then they are binary operators. As binary and logical | |
2691 operators can be highlighted differently they have to be highlighted one way | |
2692 or the other. By default they are treated as logical operators. They can be | |
2693 highlighted as binary operators by defining the variable | |
2694 postscr_andornot_binary as follows: > | |
2695 | |
2696 :let postscr_andornot_binary=1 | |
2697 < | |

2700 PRINTCAP + TERMCAP *ft-ptcap-syntax* *ft-termcap-syntax* | |
7 | 2701 |
2702 This syntax file applies to the printcap and termcap databases. | |
2703 | |
2704 In order for Vim to recognize printcap/termcap files that do not match | |
2705 the patterns *printcap*, or *termcap*, you must put additional patterns | |
2706 appropriate to your system in your |myfiletypefile| file. For these | |
2707 patterns, you must set the variable "b:ptcap_type" to either "print" or | |
2708 "term", and then the 'filetype' option to ptcap. | |
2709 | |
2710 For example, to make Vim identify all files in /etc/termcaps/ as termcap | |
2711 files, add the following: > | |
2712 | |
2713 :au BufNewFile,BufRead /etc/termcaps/* let b:ptcap_type = "term" | | |
2714 \ set filetype=ptcap | |
2715 | |
2716 If you notice highlighting errors while scrolling backwards, which | |
2717 are fixed when redrawing with CTRL-L, try setting the "ptcap_minlines" | |
2718 internal variable to a larger number: > | |
2719 | |
2720 :let ptcap_minlines = 50 | |
2721 | |
2722 (The default is 20 lines.) | |
2723 | |
2724 | |
501 | 2725 PROGRESS *progress.vim* *ft-progress-syntax* |
7 | 2726 |
2727 Files matching "*.w" could be Progress or cweb. If the automatic detection | |
2728 doesn't work for you, or you don't edit cweb at all, use this in your | |
2729 startup vimrc: > | |
2730 :let filetype_w = "progress" | |
2731 The same happens for "*.i", which could be assembly, and "*.p", which could be | |
2732 Pascal. Use this if you don't use assembly and Pascal: > | |
2733 :let filetype_i = "progress" | |
2734 :let filetype_p = "progress" | |
2735 | |
2736 | |
501 | 2737 PYTHON *python.vim* *ft-python-syntax* |
7 | 2738 |
4186 | 2739 There are six options to control Python syntax highlighting. |
7 | 2740 |
2741 For highlighted numbers: > | |
4186 | 2742 :let python_no_number_highlight = 1 |
7 | 2743 |
2744 For highlighted builtin functions: > | |
4186 | 2745 :let python_no_builtin_highlight = 1 |
7 | 2746 |
2747 For highlighted standard exceptions: > | |
4186 | 2748 :let python_no_exception_highlight = 1 |
2749 | |
2750 For highlighted doctests and code inside: > | |
2751 :let python_no_doctest_highlight = 1 | |
2752 or > | |
2753 :let python_no_doctest_code_highlight = 1 | |
2754 (first option implies second one). | |
7 | 2755 |
2596 | 2756 For highlighted trailing whitespace and mix of spaces and tabs: > |
4186 | 2757 :let python_space_error_highlight = 1 |
7 | 2758 |
2759 If you want all possible Python highlighting (the same as setting the | |
4186 | 2760 preceding last option and unsetting all other ones): > |
7 | 2761 :let python_highlight_all = 1 |

2763 Note: Only existence of these options matter, not their value. You can replace |
4186 | 2764 1 above with anything. |
2765 | |
501 | 2766 QUAKE *quake.vim* *ft-quake-syntax* |
7 | 2767 |
19163 | 2768 The Quake syntax definition should work for most FPS (First Person Shooter) |
2769 based on one of the Quake engines. However, the command names vary a bit | |
2770 between the three games (Quake, Quake 2, and Quake 3 Arena) so the syntax | |
2771 definition checks for the existence of three global variables to allow users | |
2772 to specify what commands are legal in their files. The three variables can | |
2773 be set for the following effects: | |
7 | 2774 |
2775 set to highlight commands only available in Quake: > | |
2776 :let quake_is_quake1 = 1 | |
2777 | |
2778 set to highlight commands only available in Quake 2: > | |
2779 :let quake_is_quake2 = 1 | |
2780 | |
2781 set to highlight commands only available in Quake 3 Arena: > | |
2782 :let quake_is_quake3 = 1 | |
2783 | |
2784 Any combination of these three variables is legal, but might highlight more | |
2785 commands than are actually available to you by the game. | |
2786 | |
2787 | |
14637 | 2788 R *r.vim* *ft-r-syntax* |
2789 | |
2790 The parsing of R code for syntax highlight starts 40 lines backwards, but you | |
2791 can set a different value in your |vimrc|. Example: > | |
2792 let r_syntax_minlines = 60 | |
2793 | |
2794 You can also turn off syntax highlighting of ROxygen: > | |
2795 let r_syntax_hl_roxygen = 0 | |
2796 | |
2797 enable folding of code delimited by parentheses, square brackets and curly | |
2798 braces: > | |
2799 let r_syntax_folding = 1 | |
2800 | |
2801 and highlight as functions all keywords followed by an opening parenthesis: > | |
2802 let r_syntax_fun_pattern = 1 | |
2803 | |
2804 | |
2805 R MARKDOWN *rmd.vim* *ft-rmd-syntax* | |
2806 | |
2807 To disable syntax highlight of YAML header, add to your |vimrc|: > | |
2808 let rmd_syn_hl_yaml = 0 | |
2809 | |
2810 To disable syntax highlighting of citation keys: > | |
2811 let rmd_syn_hl_citations = 0 | |
2812 | |
2813 To highlight R code in knitr chunk headers: > | |
2814 let rmd_syn_hl_chunk = 1 | |
2815 | |
2816 By default, chunks of R code will be highlighted following the rules of R | |
2817 language. If you want proper syntax highlighting of chunks of other languages, | |
2818 you should add them to either `markdown_fenced_languages` or | |
2819 `rmd_fenced_languages`. For example to properly highlight both R and Python, | |
2820 you may add this to your |vimrc|: > | |
2821 let rmd_fenced_languages = ['r', 'python'] | |
2822 | |
2823 | |
2824 R RESTRUCTURED TEXT *rrst.vim* *ft-rrst-syntax* | |
2825 | |
2826 To highlight R code in knitr chunk headers, add to your |vimrc|: > | |
2827 let rrst_syn_hl_chunk = 1 | |
2828 | |
2829 | |
501 | 2830 READLINE *readline.vim* *ft-readline-syntax* |
7 | 2831 |
2832 The readline library is primarily used by the BASH shell, which adds quite a | |
237 | 2833 few commands and options to the ones already available. To highlight these |
7 | 2834 items as well you can add the following to your |vimrc| or just type it in the |
2835 command line before loading a file with the readline syntax: > | |
2836 let readline_has_bash = 1 | |
2837 | |
2838 This will add highlighting for the commands that BASH (version 2.05a and | |
2839 later, and part earlier) adds. | |
2840 | |
2841 | |
18928 | 2842 REGO *rego.vim* *ft-rego-syntax* |
2843 | |
2844 Rego is a query language developed by Styra. It is mostly used as a policy | |
2845 language for kubernetes, but can be applied to almost anything. Files with | |
2846 the following extensions are recognized as rego files: .rego. | |
2847 | |
2848 | |
3920 | 2849 RESTRUCTURED TEXT *rst.vim* *ft-rst-syntax* |
2850 | |
15334 | 2851 Syntax highlighting is enabled for code blocks within the document for a |
2852 select number of file types. See $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/rst.vim for the default | |
2853 syntax list. | |
2854 | |
2855 To set a user-defined list of code block syntax highlighting: > | |
3920 | 2856 let rst_syntax_code_list = ['vim', 'lisp', ...] |
15334 | 2857 |
2858 To assign multiple code block types to a single syntax, define | |
2859 `rst_syntax_code_list` as a mapping: > | |
2860 let rst_syntax_code_list = { | |
18719 | 2861 \ 'cpp': ['cpp', 'c++'], |
2862 \ 'bash': ['bash', 'sh'], | |
15334 | 2863 ... |
18719 | 2864 \ } |
15334 | 2865 |
2866 To use color highlighting for emphasis text: > | |
2867 let rst_use_emphasis_colors = 1 | |
2868 | |
2869 To enable folding of sections: > | |
2870 let rst_fold_enabled = 1 | |
2871 | |
2872 Note that folding can cause performance issues on some platforms. | |
2873 | |
3920 | 2874 |
501 | 2875 REXX *rexx.vim* *ft-rexx-syntax* |
7 | 2876 |
2877 If you notice highlighting errors while scrolling backwards, which are fixed | |
2878 when redrawing with CTRL-L, try setting the "rexx_minlines" internal variable | |
2879 to a larger number: > | |
2880 :let rexx_minlines = 50 | |
2881 This will make the syntax synchronization start 50 lines before the first | |
2882 displayed line. The default value is 10. The disadvantage of using a larger | |
2883 number is that redrawing can become slow. | |
2884 | |
2965 | 2885 Vim tries to guess what type a ".r" file is. If it can't be detected (from |
2886 comment lines), the default is "r". To make the default rexx add this line to | |
2887 your .vimrc: *g:filetype_r* | |
2888 > | |
2889 :let g:filetype_r = "r" | |
2890 | |

2962 Ruby: Reducing expensive operations ~ |
7 | 2963 |
2964 By default, the "end" keyword is colorized according to the opening statement | |
572 | 2965 of the block it closes. While useful, this feature can be expensive; if you |
7 | 2966 experience slow redrawing (or you are on a terminal with poor color support) |
2967 you may want to turn it off by defining the "ruby_no_expensive" variable: > | |
572 | 2968 |
7 | 2969 :let ruby_no_expensive = 1 |
1224 | 2970 < |
7 | 2971 In this case the same color will be used for all control keywords. |

2974 |
7 | 2975 If you do want this feature enabled, but notice highlighting errors while |
2976 scrolling backwards, which are fixed when redrawing with CTRL-L, try setting | |
2977 the "ruby_minlines" variable to a value larger than 50: > | |
572 | 2978 |
7 | 2979 :let ruby_minlines = 100 |
1224 | 2980 < |
7 | 2981 Ideally, this value should be a number of lines large enough to embrace your |
2982 largest class or module. | |

1224 | 2991 < |
1125 | 2992 |
501 | 2993 SCHEME *scheme.vim* *ft-scheme-syntax* |
17 | 2994 |
13231 | 2995 By default only R7RS keywords are highlighted and properly indented. |
2996 | |
2997 scheme.vim also supports extensions of the CHICKEN Scheme->C compiler. | |
2998 Define b:is_chicken or g:is_chicken, if you need them. | |
17 | 2999 |
3000 | |
501 | 3001 SDL *sdl.vim* *ft-sdl-syntax* |
7 | 3002 |
3003 The SDL highlighting probably misses a few keywords, but SDL has so many | |
3004 of them it's almost impossibly to cope. | |
3005 | |
3006 The new standard, SDL-2000, specifies that all identifiers are | |
3007 case-sensitive (which was not so before), and that all keywords can be | |
237 | 3008 used either completely lowercase or completely uppercase. To have the |
7 | 3009 highlighting reflect this, you can set the following variable: > |
3010 :let sdl_2000=1 | |
3011 | |
237 | 3012 This also sets many new keywords. If you want to disable the old |
7 | 3013 keywords, which is probably a good idea, use: > |
3014 :let SDL_no_96=1 | |
3015 | |
3016 | |
3017 The indentation is probably also incomplete, but right now I am very | |
3018 satisfied with it for my own projects. | |
3019 | |
3020 | |
501 | 3021 SED *sed.vim* *ft-sed-syntax* |
7 | 3022 |
3023 To make tabs stand out from regular blanks (accomplished by using Todo | |
3024 highlighting on the tabs), define "highlight_sedtabs" by putting > | |
3025 | |
3026 :let highlight_sedtabs = 1 | |
3027 | |
3028 in the vimrc file. (This special highlighting only applies for tabs | |
3029 inside search patterns, replacement texts, addresses or text included | |
3030 by an Append/Change/Insert command.) If you enable this option, it is | |
3031 also a good idea to set the tab width to one character; by doing that, | |
3032 you can easily count the number of tabs in a string. | |
3033 | |
3034 Bugs: | |
3035 | |
3036 The transform command (y) is treated exactly like the substitute | |
3037 command. This means that, as far as this syntax file is concerned, | |
3038 transform accepts the same flags as substitute, which is wrong. | |
3039 (Transform accepts no flags.) I tolerate this bug because the | |
3040 involved commands need very complex treatment (95 patterns, one for | |
3041 each plausible pattern delimiter). | |
3042 | |
3043 | |
501 | 3044 SGML *sgml.vim* *ft-sgml-syntax* |
7 | 3045 |
3046 The coloring scheme for tags in the SGML file works as follows. | |
3047 | |
3048 The <> of opening tags are colored differently than the </> of a closing tag. | |
3049 This is on purpose! For opening tags the 'Function' color is used, while for | |
3050 closing tags the 'Type' color is used (See syntax.vim to check how those are | |
3051 defined for you) | |
3052 | |
3053 Known tag names are colored the same way as statements in C. Unknown tag | |
3054 names are not colored which makes it easy to spot errors. | |
3055 | |
237 | 3056 Note that the same is true for argument (or attribute) names. Known attribute |
7 | 3057 names are colored differently than unknown ones. |
3058 | |
237 | 3059 Some SGML tags are used to change the rendering of text. The following tags |
7 | 3060 are recognized by the sgml.vim syntax coloring file and change the way normal |
3061 text is shown: <varname> <emphasis> <command> <function> <literal> | |
3062 <replaceable> <ulink> and <link>. | |
3063 | |
3064 If you want to change how such text is rendered, you must redefine the | |
3065 following syntax groups: | |
3066 | |
3067 - sgmlBold | |
3068 - sgmlBoldItalic | |
3069 - sgmlUnderline | |
3070 - sgmlItalic | |
3071 - sgmlLink for links | |
3072 | |
3073 To make this redefinition work you must redefine them all and define the | |
3074 following variable in your vimrc (this is due to the order in which the files | |
3075 are read during initialization) > | |
3076 let sgml_my_rendering=1 | |
3077 | |
3078 You can also disable this rendering by adding the following line to your | |
3079 vimrc file: > | |
3080 let sgml_no_rendering=1 | |
3081 | |

3089 shells such as bash, dash, posix, and the Korn shells. |
7 | 3090 |
3091 Vim attempts to determine which shell type is in use by specifying that | |
14421 | 3092 various filenames are of specific types, e.g.: > |
7 | 3093 |
3094 ksh : .kshrc* *.ksh | |
3095 bash: .bashrc* bashrc bash.bashrc .bash_profile* *.bash | |
3096 < | |
14421 | 3097 See $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim for the full list of patterns. If none of these |
3098 cases pertain, then the first line of the file is examined (ex. looking for | |
3099 /bin/sh /bin/ksh /bin/bash). If the first line specifies a shelltype, then | |
3100 that shelltype is used. However some files (ex. .profile) are known to be | |
3101 shell files but the type is not apparent. Furthermore, on many systems sh is | |
3102 symbolically linked to "bash" (Linux, Windows+cygwin) or "ksh" (Posix). | |

3131 then various syntax items (ie. HereDocuments and function bodies) become |
1624 | 3132 syntax-foldable (see |:syn-fold|). You also may add these together |

3137 If you notice highlighting errors while scrolling backwards which are fixed | |
3138 when one redraws with CTRL-L, try setting the "sh_minlines" internal variable | |
7 | 3139 to a larger number. Example: > |
3140 | |
3141 let sh_minlines = 500 | |
3142 | |
3143 This will make syntax synchronization start 500 lines before the first | |
3144 displayed line. The default value is 200. The disadvantage of using a larger | |
3145 number is that redrawing can become slow. | |
3146 | |
3147 If you don't have much to synchronize on, displaying can be very slow. To | |
3148 reduce this, the "sh_maxlines" internal variable can be set. Example: > | |
3149 | |
3150 let sh_maxlines = 100 | |
3151 < | |
3152 The default is to use the twice sh_minlines. Set it to a smaller number to | |
3153 speed up displaying. The disadvantage is that highlight errors may appear. | |

3195 other keywords (like WITHIN in the OPERATION section). | |
3196 | |
3197 - highlight_types : Definition of this variable causes stream types | |

237 | 3199 plain Identifier. Included are the types that are usually found in |
7 | 3200 the DECLARE section; if you defined own types, you have to include |

3215 Since especially OPERATION sections tend to become very large due to | |

3225 While there is an ANSI standard for SQL, most database engines add their own | |

3227 SQL. Vim assumes "*.sql" files are Oracle SQL by default. | |
3228 | |
3229 Vim currently has SQL support for a variety of different vendors via syntax | |
3230 scripts. You can change Vim's default from Oracle to any of the current SQL | |
3231 supported types. You can also easily alter the SQL dialect being used on a | |
3232 buffer by buffer basis. | |

3328 Tex: Run-on Comments or MathZones ~ |
7 | 3329 |
477 | 3330 The <syntax/tex.vim> highlighting supports TeX, LaTeX, and some AmsTeX. The |
3331 highlighting supports three primary zones/regions: normal, texZone, and | |
3332 texMathZone. Although considerable effort has been made to have these zones | |
3333 terminate properly, zones delineated by $..$ and $$..$$ cannot be synchronized | |
3334 as there's no difference between start and end patterns. Consequently, a | |
7 | 3335 special "TeX comment" has been provided > |
3336 %stopzone | |
3337 which will forcibly terminate the highlighting of either a texZone or a | |
3338 texMathZone. | |

3341 Tex: Slow Syntax Highlighting? ~ |
7 | 3342 |
3343 If you have a slow computer, you may wish to reduce the values for > | |
3344 :syn sync maxlines=200 | |
3345 :syn sync minlines=50 | |
3346 (especially the latter). If your computer is fast, you may wish to | |
237 | 3347 increase them. This primarily affects synchronizing (i.e. just what group, |
7 | 3348 if any, is the text at the top of the screen supposed to be in?). |

3355 Finally, if syntax highlighting is still too slow, you may set > | |
3356 | |
3357 :let g:tex_fast= "" | |
3358 | |
3359 in your .vimrc. Used this way, the g:tex_fast variable causes the syntax | |
3360 highlighting script to avoid defining any regions and associated | |
3361 synchronization. The result will be much faster syntax highlighting; the | |
3362 price: you will no longer have as much highlighting or any syntax-based | |
3363 folding, and you will be missing syntax-based error checking. | |
3364 | |
3365 You may decide that some syntax is acceptable; you may use the following table | |
3366 selectively to enable just some syntax highlighting: > | |
3367 | |
3368 b : allow bold and italic syntax | |
3369 c : allow texComment syntax | |
3370 m : allow texMatcher syntax (ie. {...} and [...]) | |
3371 M : allow texMath syntax | |
3372 p : allow parts, chapter, section, etc syntax | |
3373 r : allow texRefZone syntax (nocite, bibliography, label, pageref, eqref) | |
3374 s : allow superscript/subscript regions | |
3375 S : allow texStyle syntax | |
3376 v : allow verbatim syntax | |
3377 V : allow texNewEnv and texNewCmd syntax | |
3378 < | |
3379 As an example, let g:tex_fast= "M" will allow math-associated highlighting | |
3380 but suppress all the other region-based syntax highlighting. | |

3384 Tex: Want To Highlight More Commands? ~ |
1125 | 3385 |
3386 LaTeX is a programmable language, and so there are thousands of packages full | |
3387 of specialized LaTeX commands, syntax, and fonts. If you're using such a | |
3388 package you'll often wish that the distributed syntax/tex.vim would support | |
3389 it. However, clearly this is impractical. So please consider using the | |
3390 techniques in |mysyntaxfile-add| to extend or modify the highlighting provided | |
3237 | 3391 by syntax/tex.vim. Please consider uploading any extensions that you write, |
3392 which typically would go in $HOME/after/syntax/tex/[pkgname].vim, to | |
3393 http://vim.sf.net/. | |

3402 Tex: Excessive Error Highlighting? ~ |
7 | 3403 |
3404 The <tex.vim> supports lexical error checking of various sorts. Thus, | |
3405 although the error checking is ofttimes very useful, it can indicate | |
3406 errors where none actually are. If this proves to be a problem for you, | |
3407 you may put in your <.vimrc> the following statement: > | |
4992 | 3408 let g:tex_no_error=1 |
477 | 3409 and all error checking by <syntax/tex.vim> will be suppressed. |

3412 Tex: Need a new Math Group? ~ |
7 | 3413 |
3414 If you want to include a new math group in your LaTeX, the following | |
3415 code shows you an example as to how you might do so: > | |
477 | 3416 call TexNewMathZone(sfx,mathzone,starform) |
3417 You'll want to provide the new math group with a unique suffix | |
3418 (currently, A-L and V-Z are taken by <syntax/tex.vim> itself). | |
3419 As an example, consider how eqnarray is set up by <syntax/tex.vim>: > | |
3420 call TexNewMathZone("D","eqnarray",1) | |
3421 You'll need to change "mathzone" to the name of your new math group, | |
3422 and then to the call to it in .vim/after/syntax/tex.vim. | |
3423 The "starform" variable, if true, implies that your new math group | |
3424 has a starred form (ie. eqnarray*). | |

3427 Tex: Starting a New Style? ~ |
7 | 3428 |
3429 One may use "\makeatletter" in *.tex files, thereby making the use of "@" in | |
3430 commands available. However, since the *.tex file doesn't have one of the | |
3431 following suffices: sty cls clo dtx ltx, the syntax highlighting will flag | |
3432 such use of @ as an error. To solve this: > | |
3433 | |
3434 :let b:tex_stylish = 1 | |
3435 :set ft=tex | |
3436 | |
3437 Putting "let g:tex_stylish=1" into your <.vimrc> will make <syntax/tex.vim> | |

3441 Tex: Taking Advantage of Conceal Mode~ |
2417 | 3442 |
2426 | 3443 If you have |'conceallevel'| set to 2 and if your encoding is utf-8, then a |
3444 number of character sequences can be translated into appropriate utf-8 glyphs, | |
3445 including various accented characters, Greek characters in MathZones, and | |
3446 superscripts and subscripts in MathZones. Not all characters can be made into | |
3447 superscripts or subscripts; the constraint is due to what utf-8 supports. | |
3448 In fact, only a few characters are supported as subscripts. | |
3449 | |
3450 One way to use this is to have vertically split windows (see |CTRL-W_v|); one | |
3451 with |'conceallevel'| at 0 and the other at 2; and both using |'scrollbind'|. | |

3473 Normally, LaTeX keywords support 0-9, a-z, A-z, and 192-255 only. Latex | |
3474 keywords don't support the underscore - except when in *.sty files. The | |
3475 syntax highlighting script handles this with the following logic: | |
3476 | |
3477 * If g:tex_stylish exists and is 1 | |
3478 then the file will be treated as a "sty" file, so the "_" | |
3479 will be allowed as part of keywords | |

3491 | |
3492 See |tex-conceal| for how to enable concealed character replacement. | |
3493 | |
3494 See |g:tex_conceal| for selectively concealing accents, bold/italic, | |
3495 math, Greek, and superscripts/subscripts. | |
3496 | |
3497 One may exert fine control over which superscripts and subscripts one | |
3498 wants syntax-based concealment for (see |:syn-cchar|). Since not all | |
3499 fonts support all characters, one may override the | |
3500 concealed-replacement lists; by default these lists are given by: > | |
3501 | |
3502 let g:tex_superscripts= "[0-9a-zA-W.,:;+-<>/()=]" | |
3503 let g:tex_subscripts= "[0-9aehijklmnoprstuvx,+-/().]" | |
3504 < | |
3505 For example, I use Luxi Mono Bold; it doesn't support subscript | |
3506 characters for "hklmnpst", so I put > | |
3507 let g:tex_subscripts= "[0-9aeijoruvx,+-/().]" | |

3512 Tex: Match Check Control~ | |

3514 Sometimes one actually wants mismatched parentheses, square braces, | |
24911 | 3515 and or curly braces; for example, \text{(1,10]} is a range from but |
3516 not including 1 to and including 10. This wish, of course, conflicts | |
23164 | 3517 with the desire to provide delimiter mismatch detection. To |
3518 accommodate these conflicting goals, syntax/tex.vim provides > | |
3519 g:tex_matchcheck = '[({[]' | |
3520 < which is shown along with its default setting. So, if one doesn't | |
3521 want [] and () to be checked for mismatches, try using > | |
3522 let g:tex_matchcheck= '[{}]' | |
3523 < If you don't want matching to occur inside bold and italicized | |
3524 regions, > | |
3525 let g:tex_excludematcher= 1 | |
3526 < will prevent the texMatcher group from being included in those regions. | |

3597 When using a mix of versions, set the b:xf86conf_xfree86_version variable. | |
3598 | |
3599 Note that spaces and underscores in option names are not supported. Use | |
3600 "SyncOnGreen" instead of "__s yn con gr_e_e_n" if you want the option name | |
3601 highlighted. | |

3618 Note: Syntax folding might slow down syntax highlighting significantly, |
7 | 3619 especially for large files. |
3620 | |
3621 | |
501 | 3622 X Pixmaps (XPM) *xpm.vim* *ft-xpm-syntax* |
7 | 3623 |
3624 xpm.vim creates its syntax items dynamically based upon the contents of the | |
3625 XPM file. Thus if you make changes e.g. in the color specification strings, | |
3626 you have to source it again e.g. with ":set syn=xpm". | |
3627 | |
3628 To copy a pixel with one of the colors, yank a "pixel" with "yl" and insert it | |
3629 somewhere else with "P". | |
3630 | |
3631 Do you want to draw with the mouse? Try the following: > | |
3632 :function! GetPixel() | |
823 | 3633 : let c = getline(".")[col(".") - 1] |
7 | 3634 : echo c |
27903 | 3635 : exe "noremap <LeftMouse> <LeftMouse>r" .. c |
3636 : exe "noremap <LeftDrag> <LeftMouse>r" .. c | |
7 | 3637 :endfunction |
3638 :noremap <RightMouse> <LeftMouse>:call GetPixel()<CR> | |
3639 :set guicursor=n:hor20 " to see the color beneath the cursor | |
3640 This turns the right button into a pipette and the left button into a pen. | |
3641 It will work with XPM files that have one character per pixel only and you | |
3642 must not click outside of the pixel strings, but feel free to improve it. | |
3643 | |
3644 It will look much better with a font in a quadratic cell size, e.g. for X: > | |
3645 :set guifont=-*-clean-medium-r-*-*-8-*-*-*-*-80-* | |

18831 | 3651 A YAML schema is a combination of a set of tags and a mechanism for resolving |
3652 non-specific tags. For user this means that YAML parser may, depending on | |
3653 plain scalar contents, treat plain scalar (which can actually be only string | |
3654 and nothing else) as a value of the other type: null, boolean, floating-point, | |
3655 integer. `g:yaml_schema` option determines according to which schema values | |
6741 | 3656 will be highlighted specially. Supported schemas are |
3657 | |
3658 Schema Description ~ | |
3659 failsafe No additional highlighting. | |
3660 json Supports JSON-style numbers, booleans and null. | |
3661 core Supports more number, boolean and null styles. | |
18831 | 3662 pyyaml In addition to core schema supports highlighting timestamps, |
3663 but there are some differences in what is recognized as | |
3664 numbers and many additional boolean values not present in core | |
6741 | 3665 schema. |
3666 | |
3667 Default schema is `core`. | |
3668 | |
18831 | 3669 Note that schemas are not actually limited to plain scalars, but this is the |
3670 only difference between schemas defined in YAML specification and the only | |
6741 | 3671 difference defined in the syntax file. |

7 | 3680 ============================================================================== |
15194 | 3681 6. Defining a syntax *:syn-define* *E410* |
7 | 3682 |
3683 Vim understands three types of syntax items: | |
3684 | |
419 | 3685 1. Keyword |
7 | 3686 It can only contain keyword characters, according to the 'iskeyword' |
3687 option. It cannot contain other syntax items. It will only match with a | |
3688 complete word (there are no keyword characters before or after the match). | |
3689 The keyword "if" would match in "if(a=b)", but not in "ifdef x", because | |
3690 "(" is not a keyword character and "d" is. | |
3691 | |
419 | 3692 2. Match |
7 | 3693 This is a match with a single regexp pattern. |
3694 | |
419 | 3695 3. Region |
7 | 3696 This starts at a match of the "start" regexp pattern and ends with a match |
3697 with the "end" regexp pattern. Any other text can appear in between. A | |
3698 "skip" regexp pattern can be used to avoid matching the "end" pattern. | |
3699 | |
3700 Several syntax ITEMs can be put into one syntax GROUP. For a syntax group | |
3701 you can give highlighting attributes. For example, you could have an item | |
3702 to define a "/* .. */" comment and another one that defines a "// .." comment, | |
3703 and put them both in the "Comment" group. You can then specify that a | |
3704 "Comment" will be in bold font and have a blue color. You are free to make | |
3705 one highlight group for one syntax item, or put all items into one group. | |
3706 This depends on how you want to specify your highlighting attributes. Putting | |
3707 each item in its own group results in having to specify the highlighting | |
3708 for a lot of groups. | |
3709 | |
3710 Note that a syntax group and a highlight group are similar. For a highlight | |
3711 group you will have given highlight attributes. These attributes will be used | |
3712 for the syntax group with the same name. | |
3713 | |
3714 In case more than one item matches at the same position, the one that was | |
3715 defined LAST wins. Thus you can override previously defined syntax items by | |
3716 using an item that matches the same text. But a keyword always goes before a | |
3717 match or region. And a keyword with matching case always goes before a | |
3718 keyword with ignoring case. | |
3719 | |
3720 | |
3721 PRIORITY *:syn-priority* | |
3722 | |
3723 When several syntax items may match, these rules are used: | |
3724 | |
3725 1. When multiple Match or Region items start in the same position, the item | |
3726 defined last has priority. | |
3727 2. A Keyword has priority over Match and Region items. | |
3728 3. An item that starts in an earlier position has priority over items that | |
3729 start in later positions. | |
3730 | |
3731 | |
3732 DEFINING CASE *:syn-case* *E390* | |
3733 | |
419 | 3734 :sy[ntax] case [match | ignore] |
7 | 3735 This defines if the following ":syntax" commands will work with |
3736 matching case, when using "match", or with ignoring case, when using | |
3737 "ignore". Note that any items before this are not affected, and all | |
3738 items until the next ":syntax case" command are affected. | |
3739 | |
10734 | 3740 :sy[ntax] case |
27623 | 3741 Show either "syntax case match" or "syntax case ignore". |

3819 This defines a number of keywords. | |
3820 | |
3821 {group-name} Is a syntax group name such as "Comment". | |
3822 [{options}] See |:syn-arguments| below. | |
3823 {keyword} .. Is a list of keywords which are part of this group. | |

3827 < | |
3828 The {options} can be given anywhere in the line. They will apply to | |
3829 all keywords given, also for options that come after a keyword. | |

7 | 3835 When you have a keyword with an optional tail, like Ex commands in |
3836 Vim, you can put the optional characters inside [], to define all the | |
3837 variations at once: > | |
3838 :syntax keyword vimCommand ab[breviate] n[ext] | |
3839 < | |
3840 Don't forget that a keyword can only be recognized if all the | |
3841 characters are included in the 'iskeyword' option. If one character | |
3842 isn't, the keyword will never be recognized. | |
3843 Multi-byte characters can also be used. These do not have to be in | |
3844 'iskeyword'. | |

3845 See |:syn-iskeyword| for defining syntax specific iskeyword settings. |
7 | 3846 |
3847 A keyword always has higher priority than a match or region, the | |
3848 keyword is used if more than one item matches. Keywords do not nest | |
3849 and a keyword can't contain anything else. | |
3850 | |
3851 Note that when you have a keyword that is the same as an option (even | |
3852 one that isn't allowed here), you can not use it. Use a match | |
3853 instead. | |
3854 | |
3855 The maximum length of a keyword is 80 characters. | |
3856 | |
3857 The same keyword can be defined multiple times, when its containment | |
3858 differs. For example, you can define the keyword once not contained | |
3859 and use one highlight group, and once contained, and use a different | |
237 | 3860 highlight group. Example: > |
7 | 3861 :syn keyword vimCommand tag |
3862 :syn keyword vimSetting contained tag | |
3863 < When finding "tag" outside of any syntax item, the "vimCommand" | |
3864 highlight group is used. When finding "tag" in a syntax item that | |
3865 contains "vimSetting", the "vimSetting" group is used. | |

3885 |:syn-keepend|. |
7 | 3886 {pattern} The search pattern that defines the match. |
3887 See |:syn-pattern| below. | |
3888 Note that the pattern may match more than one | |
3889 line, which makes the match depend on where | |
3890 Vim starts searching for the pattern. You | |
3891 need to make sure syncing takes care of this. | |
3892 | |
3893 Example (match a character constant): > | |
3894 :syntax match Character /'.'/hs=s+1,he=e-1 | |
3895 < | |
3896 | |
3897 DEFINING REGIONS *:syn-region* *:syn-start* *:syn-skip* *:syn-end* | |
3898 *E398* *E399* | |
3899 :sy[ntax] region {group-name} [{options}] | |
3900 [matchgroup={group-name}] | |
3901 [keepend] | |
3902 [extend] | |
3903 [excludenl] | |
21676 | 3904 start={start-pattern} .. |
3905 [skip={skip-pattern}] | |
3906 end={end-pattern} .. | |
7 | 3907 [{options}] |
3908 | |
3909 This defines one region. It may span several lines. | |
3910 | |
3911 {group-name} A syntax group name such as "Comment". | |
3912 [{options}] See |:syn-arguments| below. | |
3913 [matchgroup={group-name}] The syntax group to use for the following | |
3914 start or end pattern matches only. Not used | |
3915 for the text in between the matched start and | |
3916 end patterns. Use NONE to reset to not using | |
3917 a different group for the start or end match. | |
3918 See |:syn-matchgroup|. | |
3919 keepend Don't allow contained matches to go past a | |
3920 match with the end pattern. See | |
3921 |:syn-keepend|. | |
3922 extend Override a "keepend" for an item this region | |
237 | 3923 is contained in. See |:syn-extend|. |
7 | 3924 excludenl Don't make a pattern with the end-of-line "$" |
3925 extend a containing match or item. Only | |
3926 useful for end patterns. Must be given before | |
3927 the patterns it applies to. |:syn-excludenl| | |
21676 | 3928 start={start-pattern} The search pattern that defines the start of |
7 | 3929 the region. See |:syn-pattern| below. |
21676 | 3930 skip={skip-pattern} The search pattern that defines text inside |
7 | 3931 the region where not to look for the end |
3932 pattern. See |:syn-pattern| below. | |
21676 | 3933 end={end-pattern} The search pattern that defines the end of |
7 | 3934 the region. See |:syn-pattern| below. |
3935 | |
3936 Example: > | |
3937 :syntax region String start=+"+ skip=+\\"+ end=+"+ | |
3938 < | |
3939 The start/skip/end patterns and the options can be given in any order. | |
3940 There can be zero or one skip pattern. There must be one or more | |
3941 start and end patterns. This means that you can omit the skip | |
3942 pattern, but you must give at least one start and one end pattern. It | |
3943 is allowed to have white space before and after the equal sign | |
3944 (although it mostly looks better without white space). | |
3945 | |
3946 When more than one start pattern is given, a match with one of these | |
3947 is sufficient. This means there is an OR relation between the start | |
3948 patterns. The last one that matches is used. The same is true for | |
3949 the end patterns. | |
3950 | |
3951 The search for the end pattern starts right after the start pattern. | |
3952 Offsets are not used for this. This implies that the match for the | |
3953 end pattern will never overlap with the start pattern. | |
3954 | |
3955 The skip and end pattern can match across line breaks, but since the | |
3956 search for the pattern can start in any line it often does not do what | |
3957 you want. The skip pattern doesn't avoid a match of an end pattern in | |
3958 the next line. Use single-line patterns to avoid trouble. | |
3959 | |
3960 Note: The decision to start a region is only based on a matching start | |
3961 pattern. There is no check for a matching end pattern. This does NOT | |
3962 work: > | |
3963 :syn region First start="(" end=":" | |
3964 :syn region Second start="(" end=";" | |
3965 < The Second always matches before the First (last defined pattern has | |
3966 higher priority). The Second region then continues until the next | |
3967 ';', no matter if there is a ':' before it. Using a match does work: > | |
3968 :syn match First "(\_.\{-}:" | |
3969 :syn match Second "(\_.\{-};" | |
3970 < This pattern matches any character or line break with "\_." and | |
3971 repeats that with "\{-}" (repeat as few as possible). | |
3972 | |
3973 *:syn-keepend* | |
3974 By default, a contained match can obscure a match for the end pattern. | |
3975 This is useful for nesting. For example, a region that starts with | |
3976 "{" and ends with "}", can contain another region. An encountered "}" | |
3977 will then end the contained region, but not the outer region: | |
3978 { starts outer "{}" region | |
3979 { starts contained "{}" region | |
3980 } ends contained "{}" region | |
3981 } ends outer "{} region | |
3982 If you don't want this, the "keepend" argument will make the matching | |
3983 of an end pattern of the outer region also end any contained item. | |
3984 This makes it impossible to nest the same region, but allows for | |
3985 contained items to highlight parts of the end pattern, without causing | |
3986 that to skip the match with the end pattern. Example: > | |
3987 :syn match vimComment +"[^"]\+$+ | |
3988 :syn region vimCommand start="set" end="$" contains=vimComment keepend | |
3989 < The "keepend" makes the vimCommand always end at the end of the line, | |
3990 even though the contained vimComment includes a match with the <EOL>. | |
3991 | |
3992 When "keepend" is not used, a match with an end pattern is retried | |
3993 after each contained match. When "keepend" is included, the first | |
3994 encountered match with an end pattern is used, truncating any | |
3995 contained matches. | |
3996 *:syn-extend* | |
3997 The "keepend" behavior can be changed by using the "extend" argument. | |
3998 When an item with "extend" is contained in an item that uses | |
3999 "keepend", the "keepend" is ignored and the containing region will be | |
4000 extended. | |
4001 This can be used to have some contained items extend a region while | |
4002 others don't. Example: > | |
4003 | |
4004 :syn region htmlRef start=+<a>+ end=+</a>+ keepend contains=htmlItem,htmlScript | |
4005 :syn match htmlItem +<[^>]*>+ contained | |
4006 :syn region htmlScript start=+<script+ end=+</script[^>]*>+ contained extend | |
4007 | |
4008 < Here the htmlItem item does not make the htmlRef item continue | |
4009 further, it is only used to highlight the <> items. The htmlScript | |
4010 item does extend the htmlRef item. | |
4011 | |
4012 Another example: > | |
4013 :syn region xmlFold start="<a>" end="</a>" fold transparent keepend extend | |
4014 < This defines a region with "keepend", so that its end cannot be | |
4015 changed by contained items, like when the "</a>" is matched to | |
4016 highlight it differently. But when the xmlFold region is nested (it | |
4017 includes itself), the "extend" applies, so that the "</a>" of a nested | |
4018 region only ends that region, and not the one it is contained in. | |
4019 | |
4020 *:syn-excludenl* | |
4021 When a pattern for a match or end pattern of a region includes a '$' | |
4022 to match the end-of-line, it will make a region item that it is | |
4023 contained in continue on the next line. For example, a match with | |
4024 "\\$" (backslash at the end of the line) can make a region continue | |
4025 that would normally stop at the end of the line. This is the default | |
4026 behavior. If this is not wanted, there are two ways to avoid it: | |
4027 1. Use "keepend" for the containing item. This will keep all | |
4028 contained matches from extending the match or region. It can be | |
4029 used when all contained items must not extend the containing item. | |
4030 2. Use "excludenl" in the contained item. This will keep that match | |
4031 from extending the containing match or region. It can be used if | |
4032 only some contained items must not extend the containing item. | |
4033 "excludenl" must be given before the pattern it applies to. | |
4034 | |
4035 *:syn-matchgroup* | |
4036 "matchgroup" can be used to highlight the start and/or end pattern | |
4037 differently than the body of the region. Example: > | |
4038 :syntax region String matchgroup=Quote start=+"+ skip=+\\"+ end=+"+ | |
4039 < This will highlight the quotes with the "Quote" group, and the text in | |
4040 between with the "String" group. | |
4041 The "matchgroup" is used for all start and end patterns that follow, | |
4042 until the next "matchgroup". Use "matchgroup=NONE" to go back to not | |
4043 using a matchgroup. | |
4044 | |
4045 In a start or end pattern that is highlighted with "matchgroup" the | |
4046 contained items of the region are not used. This can be used to avoid | |
4047 that a contained item matches in the start or end pattern match. When | |
4048 using "transparent", this does not apply to a start or end pattern | |
4049 match that is highlighted with "matchgroup". | |
4050 | |
4051 Here is an example, which highlights three levels of parentheses in | |
4052 different colors: > | |
4053 :sy region par1 matchgroup=par1 start=/(/ end=/)/ contains=par2 | |
4054 :sy region par2 matchgroup=par2 start=/(/ end=/)/ contains=par3 contained | |
4055 :sy region par3 matchgroup=par3 start=/(/ end=/)/ contains=par1 contained | |
4056 :hi par1 ctermfg=red guifg=red | |
4057 :hi par2 ctermfg=blue guifg=blue | |
4058 :hi par3 ctermfg=darkgreen guifg=darkgreen | |

4114 See |hl-Conceal| for highlighting. |
7 | 4115 |
4116 contained *:syn-contained* | |
4117 | |
4118 When the "contained" argument is given, this item will not be recognized at | |
4119 the top level, but only when it is mentioned in the "contains" field of | |
4120 another match. Example: > | |
4121 :syntax keyword Todo TODO contained | |
4122 :syntax match Comment "//.*" contains=Todo | |
4123 | |
4124 | |
4125 display *:syn-display* | |
4126 | |
4127 If the "display" argument is given, this item will be skipped when the | |
4128 detected highlighting will not be displayed. This will speed up highlighting, | |
4129 by skipping this item when only finding the syntax state for the text that is | |
4130 to be displayed. | |
4131 | |
4132 Generally, you can use "display" for match and region items that meet these | |
4133 conditions: | |
4134 - The item does not continue past the end of a line. Example for C: A region | |
4135 for a "/*" comment can't contain "display", because it continues on the next | |
4136 line. | |
4137 - The item does not contain items that continue past the end of the line or | |
4138 make it continue on the next line. | |
4139 - The item does not change the size of any item it is contained in. Example | |
4140 for C: A match with "\\$" in a preprocessor match can't have "display", | |
4141 because it may make that preprocessor match shorter. | |
4142 - The item does not allow other items to match that didn't match otherwise, | |
4143 and that item may extend the match too far. Example for C: A match for a | |
4144 "//" comment can't use "display", because a "/*" inside that comment would | |
4145 match then and start a comment which extends past the end of the line. | |
4146 | |
4147 Examples, for the C language, where "display" can be used: | |
4148 - match with a number | |
4149 - match with a label | |
4150 | |
4151 | |
4152 transparent *:syn-transparent* | |
4153 | |
4154 If the "transparent" argument is given, this item will not be highlighted | |
4155 itself, but will take the highlighting of the item it is contained in. This | |
4156 is useful for syntax items that don't need any highlighting but are used | |
4157 only to skip over a part of the text. | |
4158 | |
4159 The "contains=" argument is also inherited from the item it is contained in, | |
4160 unless a "contains" argument is given for the transparent item itself. To | |
4161 avoid that unwanted items are contained, use "contains=NONE". Example, which | |
4162 highlights words in strings, but makes an exception for "vim": > | |
4163 :syn match myString /'[^']*'/ contains=myWord,myVim | |
4164 :syn match myWord /\<[a-z]*\>/ contained | |
4165 :syn match myVim /\<vim\>/ transparent contained contains=NONE | |
4166 :hi link myString String | |
4167 :hi link myWord Comment | |
4168 Since the "myVim" match comes after "myWord" it is the preferred match (last | |
4169 match in the same position overrules an earlier one). The "transparent" | |
4170 argument makes the "myVim" match use the same highlighting as "myString". But | |
4171 it does not contain anything. If the "contains=NONE" argument would be left | |
4172 out, then "myVim" would use the contains argument from myString and allow | |
24911 | 4173 "myWord" to be contained, which will be highlighted as a Comment. This |
7 | 4174 happens because a contained match doesn't match inside itself in the same |
4175 position, thus the "myVim" match doesn't overrule the "myWord" match here. | |
4176 | |
4177 When you look at the colored text, it is like looking at layers of contained | |
4178 items. The contained item is on top of the item it is contained in, thus you | |
4179 see the contained item. When a contained item is transparent, you can look | |
4180 through, thus you see the item it is contained in. In a picture: | |
4181 | |
4182 look from here | |
4183 | |
4184 | | | | | | | |
4185 V V V V V V | |
4186 | |
4187 xxxx yyy more contained items | |
4188 .................... contained item (transparent) | |
4189 ============================= first item | |
4190 | |
4191 The 'x', 'y' and '=' represent a highlighted syntax item. The '.' represent a | |
4192 transparent group. | |
4193 | |
4194 What you see is: | |
4195 | |
4196 =======xxxx=======yyy======== | |
4197 | |
4198 Thus you look through the transparent "....". | |
4199 | |
4200 | |
4201 oneline *:syn-oneline* | |
4202 | |
4203 The "oneline" argument indicates that the region does not cross a line | |
4204 boundary. It must match completely in the current line. However, when the | |
4205 region has a contained item that does cross a line boundary, it continues on | |
4206 the next line anyway. A contained item can be used to recognize a line | |
4207 continuation pattern. But the "end" pattern must still match in the first | |
4208 line, otherwise the region doesn't even start. | |
4209 | |
4210 When the start pattern includes a "\n" to match an end-of-line, the end | |
4211 pattern must be found in the same line as where the start pattern ends. The | |
4212 end pattern may also include an end-of-line. Thus the "oneline" argument | |
4213 means that the end of the start pattern and the start of the end pattern must | |
4214 be within one line. This can't be changed by a skip pattern that matches a | |
4215 line break. | |
4216 | |
4217 | |
4218 fold *:syn-fold* | |
4219 | |
1624 | 4220 The "fold" argument makes the fold level increase by one for this item. |
7 | 4221 Example: > |
4222 :syn region myFold start="{" end="}" transparent fold | |
4223 :syn sync fromstart | |
4224 :set foldmethod=syntax | |
4225 This will make each {} block form one fold. | |
4226 | |
4227 The fold will start on the line where the item starts, and end where the item | |
4228 ends. If the start and end are within the same line, there is no fold. | |
4229 The 'foldnestmax' option limits the nesting of syntax folds. | |

4235 *:syn-contains* *E405* *E406* *E407* *E408* *E409* | |
6259 | 4236 contains={group-name},.. |
7 | 4237 |
4238 The "contains" argument is followed by a list of syntax group names. These | |
4239 groups will be allowed to begin inside the item (they may extend past the | |
4240 containing group's end). This allows for recursive nesting of matches and | |
4241 regions. If there is no "contains" argument, no groups will be contained in | |
4242 this item. The group names do not need to be defined before they can be used | |
4243 here. | |
4244 | |
4245 contains=ALL | |
4246 If the only item in the contains list is "ALL", then all | |
4247 groups will be accepted inside the item. | |
4248 | |
4249 contains=ALLBUT,{group-name},.. | |
4250 If the first item in the contains list is "ALLBUT", then all | |
4251 groups will be accepted inside the item, except the ones that | |
4252 are listed. Example: > | |
4253 :syntax region Block start="{" end="}" ... contains=ALLBUT,Function | |
4254 | |
4255 contains=TOP | |
4256 If the first item in the contains list is "TOP", then all | |
4257 groups will be accepted that don't have the "contained" | |
4258 argument. | |
4259 contains=TOP,{group-name},.. | |
4260 Like "TOP", but excluding the groups that are listed. | |
4261 | |
4262 contains=CONTAINED | |
4263 If the first item in the contains list is "CONTAINED", then | |
4264 all groups will be accepted that have the "contained" | |
4265 argument. | |
4266 contains=CONTAINED,{group-name},.. | |
4267 Like "CONTAINED", but excluding the groups that are | |
4268 listed. | |
4269 | |
4270 | |
4271 The {group-name} in the "contains" list can be a pattern. All group names | |
4272 that match the pattern will be included (or excluded, if "ALLBUT" is used). | |
4273 The pattern cannot contain white space or a ','. Example: > | |
4274 ... contains=Comment.*,Keyw[0-3] | |
4275 The matching will be done at moment the syntax command is executed. Groups | |
4276 that are defined later will not be matched. Also, if the current syntax | |
4277 command defines a new group, it is not matched. Be careful: When putting | |
4278 syntax commands in a file you can't rely on groups NOT being defined, because | |
4279 the file may have been sourced before, and ":syn clear" doesn't remove the | |
4280 group names. | |
4281 | |
4282 The contained groups will also match in the start and end patterns of a | |
4283 region. If this is not wanted, the "matchgroup" argument can be used | |
4284 |:syn-matchgroup|. The "ms=" and "me=" offsets can be used to change the | |
4285 region where contained items do match. Note that this may also limit the | |
4286 area that is highlighted | |
4287 | |
4288 | |
6259 | 4289 containedin={group-name}... *:syn-containedin* |
7 | 4290 |
4291 The "containedin" argument is followed by a list of syntax group names. The | |
4292 item will be allowed to begin inside these groups. This works as if the | |
4293 containing item has a "contains=" argument that includes this item. | |
4294 | |
6259 | 4295 The {group-name}... can be used just like for "contains", as explained above. |
7 | 4296 |
4297 This is useful when adding a syntax item afterwards. An item can be told to | |
4298 be included inside an already existing item, without changing the definition | |
4299 of that item. For example, to highlight a word in a C comment after loading | |
4300 the C syntax: > | |
4301 :syn keyword myword HELP containedin=cComment contained | |
4302 Note that "contained" is also used, to avoid that the item matches at the top | |
4303 level. | |
4304 | |
4305 Matches for "containedin" are added to the other places where the item can | |
4306 appear. A "contains" argument may also be added as usual. Don't forget that | |
4307 keywords never contain another item, thus adding them to "containedin" won't | |
4308 work. | |
4309 | |
4310 | |
6259 | 4311 nextgroup={group-name},.. *:syn-nextgroup* |
7 | 4312 |
4313 The "nextgroup" argument is followed by a list of syntax group names, | |
4314 separated by commas (just like with "contains", so you can also use patterns). | |
4315 | |
4316 If the "nextgroup" argument is given, the mentioned syntax groups will be | |
4317 tried for a match, after the match or region ends. If none of the groups have | |
4318 a match, highlighting continues normally. If there is a match, this group | |
4319 will be used, even when it is not mentioned in the "contains" field of the | |
4320 current group. This is like giving the mentioned group priority over all | |
4321 other groups. Example: > | |
4322 :syntax match ccFoobar "Foo.\{-}Bar" contains=ccFoo | |
4323 :syntax match ccFoo "Foo" contained nextgroup=ccFiller | |
4324 :syntax region ccFiller start="." matchgroup=ccBar end="Bar" contained | |
4325 | |
4326 This will highlight "Foo" and "Bar" differently, and only when there is a | |
4327 "Bar" after "Foo". In the text line below, "f" shows where ccFoo is used for | |
4328 highlighting, and "bbb" where ccBar is used. > | |
4329 | |
4330 Foo asdfasd Bar asdf Foo asdf Bar asdf | |
4331 fff bbb fff bbb | |
4332 | |
4333 Note the use of ".\{-}" to skip as little as possible until the next Bar. | |
4334 when ".*" would be used, the "asdf" in between "Bar" and "Foo" would be | |
4335 highlighted according to the "ccFoobar" group, because the ccFooBar match | |
4336 would include the first "Foo" and the last "Bar" in the line (see |pattern|). | |
4337 | |
4338 | |
4339 skipwhite *:syn-skipwhite* | |
4340 skipnl *:syn-skipnl* | |
4341 skipempty *:syn-skipempty* | |
4342 | |
4343 These arguments are only used in combination with "nextgroup". They can be | |
4344 used to allow the next group to match after skipping some text: | |
1275 | 4345 skipwhite skip over space and tab characters |
7 | 4346 skipnl skip over the end of a line |
4347 skipempty skip over empty lines (implies a "skipnl") | |
4348 | |
4349 When "skipwhite" is present, the white space is only skipped if there is no | |
4350 next group that matches the white space. | |
4351 | |
4352 When "skipnl" is present, the match with nextgroup may be found in the next | |
4353 line. This only happens when the current item ends at the end of the current | |
4354 line! When "skipnl" is not present, the nextgroup will only be found after | |
4355 the current item in the same line. | |
4356 | |
4357 When skipping text while looking for a next group, the matches for other | |
4358 groups are ignored. Only when no next group matches, other items are tried | |
4359 for a match again. This means that matching a next group and skipping white | |
4360 space and <EOL>s has a higher priority than other items. | |
4361 | |
4362 Example: > | |
4363 :syn match ifstart "\<if.*" nextgroup=ifline skipwhite skipempty | |
4364 :syn match ifline "[^ \t].*" nextgroup=ifline skipwhite skipempty contained | |
4365 :syn match ifline "endif" contained | |
4366 Note that the "[^ \t].*" match matches all non-white text. Thus it would also | |
4367 match "endif". Therefore the "endif" match is put last, so that it takes | |
4368 precedence. | |
4369 Note that this example doesn't work for nested "if"s. You need to add | |
4370 "contains" arguments to make that work (omitted for simplicity of the | |
4371 example). | |

7 | 4386 ============================================================================== |
15194 | 4387 8. Syntax patterns *:syn-pattern* *E401* *E402* |
7 | 4388 |
4389 In the syntax commands, a pattern must be surrounded by two identical | |
4390 characters. This is like it works for the ":s" command. The most common to | |
4391 use is the double quote. But if the pattern contains a double quote, you can | |
4392 use another character that is not used in the pattern. Examples: > | |
4393 :syntax region Comment start="/\*" end="\*/" | |
4394 :syntax region String start=+"+ end=+"+ skip=+\\"+ | |
4395 | |
4396 See |pattern| for the explanation of what a pattern is. Syntax patterns are | |
1624 | 4397 always interpreted like the 'magic' option is set, no matter what the actual |
7 | 4398 value of 'magic' is. And the patterns are interpreted like the 'l' flag is |
4399 not included in 'cpoptions'. This was done to make syntax files portable and | |
4400 independent of 'compatible' and 'magic' settings. | |
4401 | |
4402 Try to avoid patterns that can match an empty string, such as "[a-z]*". | |
4403 This slows down the highlighting a lot, because it matches everywhere. | |
4404 | |
4405 *:syn-pattern-offset* | |
4406 The pattern can be followed by a character offset. This can be used to | |
4407 change the highlighted part, and to change the text area included in the | |
4408 match or region (which only matters when trying to match other items). Both | |
4409 are relative to the matched pattern. The character offset for a skip | |
4410 pattern can be used to tell where to continue looking for an end pattern. | |
4411 | |
4412 The offset takes the form of "{what}={offset}" | |
4413 The {what} can be one of seven strings: | |
4414 | |
4415 ms Match Start offset for the start of the matched text | |
4416 me Match End offset for the end of the matched text | |
4417 hs Highlight Start offset for where the highlighting starts | |
4418 he Highlight End offset for where the highlighting ends | |
4419 rs Region Start offset for where the body of a region starts | |
4420 re Region End offset for where the body of a region ends | |
4421 lc Leading Context offset past "leading context" of pattern | |
4422 | |
4423 The {offset} can be: | |
4424 | |
4425 s start of the matched pattern | |
4426 s+{nr} start of the matched pattern plus {nr} chars to the right | |
4427 s-{nr} start of the matched pattern plus {nr} chars to the left | |
4428 e end of the matched pattern | |
4429 e+{nr} end of the matched pattern plus {nr} chars to the right | |
4430 e-{nr} end of the matched pattern plus {nr} chars to the left | |
4229 | 4431 {nr} (for "lc" only): start matching {nr} chars right of the start |
7 | 4432 |
4433 Examples: "ms=s+1", "hs=e-2", "lc=3". | |
4434 | |
4435 Although all offsets are accepted after any pattern, they are not always | |
4436 meaningful. This table shows which offsets are actually used: | |
4437 | |
4438 ms me hs he rs re lc ~ | |
4439 match item yes yes yes yes - - yes | |
4440 region item start yes - yes - yes - yes | |
4441 region item skip - yes - - - - yes | |
4442 region item end - yes - yes - yes yes | |
4443 | |
4444 Offsets can be concatenated, with a ',' in between. Example: > | |
4445 :syn match String /"[^"]*"/hs=s+1,he=e-1 | |
4446 < | |
4447 some "string" text | |
4448 ^^^^^^ highlighted | |
4449 | |
4450 Notes: | |
4451 - There must be no white space between the pattern and the character | |
4452 offset(s). | |
4453 - The highlighted area will never be outside of the matched text. | |
4454 - A negative offset for an end pattern may not always work, because the end | |
4455 pattern may be detected when the highlighting should already have stopped. | |

4458 Vim 7.2 release. |
7 | 4459 - The start of a match cannot be in a line other than where the pattern |
4460 matched. This doesn't work: "a\nb"ms=e. You can make the highlighting | |
4461 start in another line, this does work: "a\nb"hs=e. | |
4462 | |
4463 Example (match a comment but don't highlight the /* and */): > | |
4464 :syntax region Comment start="/\*"hs=e+1 end="\*/"he=s-1 | |
4465 < | |
4466 /* this is a comment */ | |
4467 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ highlighted | |
4468 | |
4469 A more complicated Example: > | |
4470 :syn region Exa matchgroup=Foo start="foo"hs=s+2,rs=e+2 matchgroup=Bar end="bar"me=e-1,he=e-1,re=s-1 | |
4471 < | |
4472 abcfoostringbarabc | |
4473 mmmmmmmmmmm match | |
625 | 4474 sssrrreee highlight start/region/end ("Foo", "Exa" and "Bar") |
7 | 4475 |
4476 Leading context *:syn-lc* *:syn-leading* *:syn-context* | |
4477 | |
4478 Note: This is an obsolete feature, only included for backwards compatibility | |
4479 with previous Vim versions. It's now recommended to use the |/\@<=| construct | |
28010 | 4480 in the pattern. You can also often use |/\zs|. |
7 | 4481 |
4482 The "lc" offset specifies leading context -- a part of the pattern that must | |
4483 be present, but is not considered part of the match. An offset of "lc=n" will | |
4484 cause Vim to step back n columns before attempting the pattern match, allowing | |
4485 characters which have already been matched in previous patterns to also be | |
4486 used as leading context for this match. This can be used, for instance, to | |
4487 specify that an "escaping" character must not precede the match: > | |
4488 | |
4489 :syn match ZNoBackslash "[^\\]z"ms=s+1 | |
4490 :syn match WNoBackslash "[^\\]w"lc=1 | |
4491 :syn match Underline "_\+" | |
4492 < | |
4493 ___zzzz ___wwww | |
4494 ^^^ ^^^ matches Underline | |
4495 ^ ^ matches ZNoBackslash | |
4496 ^^^^ matches WNoBackslash | |
4497 | |
4498 The "ms" offset is automatically set to the same value as the "lc" offset, | |
4499 unless you set "ms" explicitly. | |
4500 | |
4501 | |
4502 Multi-line patterns *:syn-multi-line* | |
4503 | |
4504 The patterns can include "\n" to match an end-of-line. Mostly this works as | |
4505 expected, but there are a few exceptions. | |
4506 | |
4507 When using a start pattern with an offset, the start of the match is not | |
4508 allowed to start in a following line. The highlighting can start in a | |

|
4510 the match doesn't move to another line. |
7 | 4511 |
4512 The skip pattern can include the "\n", but the search for an end pattern will | |
4513 continue in the first character of the next line, also when that character is | |
4514 matched by the skip pattern. This is because redrawing may start in any line | |
4515 halfway a region and there is no check if the skip pattern started in a | |
4516 previous line. For example, if the skip pattern is "a\nb" and an end pattern | |
4517 is "b", the end pattern does match in the second line of this: > | |
4518 x x a | |
4519 b x x | |
4520 Generally this means that the skip pattern should not match any characters | |
4521 after the "\n". | |
4522 | |
4523 | |
4524 External matches *:syn-ext-match* | |
4525 | |
4526 These extra regular expression items are available in region patterns: | |
4527 | |
4780 | 4528 */\z(* */\z(\)* *E50* *E52* *E879* |
4073 | 4529 \z(\) Marks the sub-expression as "external", meaning that it can be |
4530 accessed from another pattern match. Currently only usable in | |
4531 defining a syntax region start pattern. | |
7 | 4532 |
4533 */\z1* */\z2* */\z3* */\z4* */\z5* | |
4534 \z1 ... \z9 */\z6* */\z7* */\z8* */\z9* *E66* *E67* | |
4535 Matches the same string that was matched by the corresponding | |
4536 sub-expression in a previous start pattern match. | |
4537 | |
4538 Sometimes the start and end patterns of a region need to share a common | |
4539 sub-expression. A common example is the "here" document in Perl and many Unix | |
4540 shells. This effect can be achieved with the "\z" special regular expression | |
4541 items, which marks a sub-expression as "external", in the sense that it can be | |
4542 referenced from outside the pattern in which it is defined. The here-document | |
4543 example, for instance, can be done like this: > | |
4544 :syn region hereDoc start="<<\z(\I\i*\)" end="^\z1$" | |
4545 | |
4546 As can be seen here, the \z actually does double duty. In the start pattern, | |
4547 it marks the "\(\I\i*\)" sub-expression as external; in the end pattern, it | |

4548 changes the \z1 back-reference into an external reference referring to the |
7 | 4549 first external sub-expression in the start pattern. External references can |
4550 also be used in skip patterns: > | |
26708 | 4551 :syn region foo start="start \z(\I\i*\)" skip="not end \z1" end="end \z1" |
7 | 4552 |
4553 Note that normal and external sub-expressions are completely orthogonal and | |
4554 indexed separately; for instance, if the pattern "\z(..\)\(..\)" is applied | |
4555 to the string "aabb", then \1 will refer to "bb" and \z1 will refer to "aa". | |
4556 Note also that external sub-expressions cannot be accessed as back-references | |
4557 within the same pattern like normal sub-expressions. If you want to use one | |
4558 sub-expression as both a normal and an external sub-expression, you can nest | |
4559 the two, as in "\(\z(...\)\)". | |
4560 | |
4561 Note that only matches within a single line can be used. Multi-line matches | |
4562 cannot be referred to. | |
4563 | |
4564 ============================================================================== | |
15194 | 4565 9. Syntax clusters *:syn-cluster* *E400* |
7 | 4566 |
4567 :sy[ntax] cluster {cluster-name} [contains={group-name}..] | |
4568 [add={group-name}..] | |
4569 [remove={group-name}..] | |
4570 | |
4571 This command allows you to cluster a list of syntax groups together under a | |
4572 single name. | |
4573 | |
4574 contains={group-name}.. | |
4575 The cluster is set to the specified list of groups. | |
4576 add={group-name}.. | |
4577 The specified groups are added to the cluster. | |
4578 remove={group-name}.. | |
4579 The specified groups are removed from the cluster. | |
4580 | |
1624 | 4581 A cluster so defined may be referred to in a contains=.., containedin=.., |
4582 nextgroup=.., add=.. or remove=.. list with a "@" prefix. You can also use | |
4583 this notation to implicitly declare a cluster before specifying its contents. | |
7 | 4584 |
4585 Example: > | |
4586 :syntax match Thing "# [^#]\+ #" contains=@ThingMembers | |
4587 :syntax cluster ThingMembers contains=ThingMember1,ThingMember2 | |
4588 | |
4589 As the previous example suggests, modifications to a cluster are effectively | |
4590 retroactive; the membership of the cluster is checked at the last minute, so | |
4591 to speak: > | |
4592 :syntax keyword A aaa | |
4593 :syntax keyword B bbb | |
4594 :syntax cluster AandB contains=A | |
4595 :syntax match Stuff "( aaa bbb )" contains=@AandB | |
4596 :syntax cluster AandB add=B " now both keywords are matched in Stuff | |
4597 | |
4598 This also has implications for nested clusters: > | |
4599 :syntax keyword A aaa | |
4600 :syntax keyword B bbb | |
4601 :syntax cluster SmallGroup contains=B | |
4602 :syntax cluster BigGroup contains=A,@SmallGroup | |
4603 :syntax match Stuff "( aaa bbb )" contains=@BigGroup | |
4604 :syntax cluster BigGroup remove=B " no effect, since B isn't in BigGroup | |
4605 :syntax cluster SmallGroup remove=B " now bbb isn't matched within Stuff | |
2751 | 4606 < |
4607 *E848* | |
4608 The maximum number of clusters is 9767. | |
7 | 4609 |
4610 ============================================================================== | |
15194 | 4611 10. Including syntax files *:syn-include* *E397* |
7 | 4612 |
4613 It is often useful for one language's syntax file to include a syntax file for | |
4614 a related language. Depending on the exact relationship, this can be done in | |
4615 two different ways: | |
4616 | |
4617 - If top-level syntax items in the included syntax file are to be | |
4618 allowed at the top level in the including syntax, you can simply use | |
4619 the |:runtime| command: > | |
4620 | |
4621 " In cpp.vim: | |
4622 :runtime! syntax/c.vim | |
4623 :unlet b:current_syntax | |
4624 | |
4625 < - If top-level syntax items in the included syntax file are to be | |
4626 contained within a region in the including syntax, you can use the | |
4627 ":syntax include" command: | |
4628 | |
4629 :sy[ntax] include [@{grouplist-name}] {file-name} | |
4630 | |
4631 All syntax items declared in the included file will have the | |
4632 "contained" flag added. In addition, if a group list is specified, | |
4633 all top-level syntax items in the included file will be added to | |
4634 that list. > | |
4635 | |
4636 " In perl.vim: | |
4637 :syntax include @Pod <sfile>:p:h/pod.vim | |
4638 :syntax region perlPOD start="^=head" end="^=cut" contains=@Pod | |
4639 < | |
4640 When {file-name} is an absolute path (starts with "/", "c:", "$VAR" | |
4641 or "<sfile>") that file is sourced. When it is a relative path | |
4642 (e.g., "syntax/pod.vim") the file is searched for in 'runtimepath'. | |
4643 All matching files are loaded. Using a relative path is | |
4644 recommended, because it allows a user to replace the included file | |
19574 | 4645 with their own version, without replacing the file that does the |
4646 ":syn include". | |
7 | 4647 |
2751 | 4648 *E847* |
4649 The maximum number of includes is 999. | |
4650 | |
7 | 4651 ============================================================================== |
15194 | 4652 11. Synchronizing *:syn-sync* *E403* *E404* |
7 | 4653 |
4654 Vim wants to be able to start redrawing in any position in the document. To | |
4655 make this possible it needs to know the syntax state at the position where | |
4656 redrawing starts. | |
4657 | |
4658 :sy[ntax] sync [ccomment [group-name] | minlines={N} | ...] | |
4659 | |
4660 There are four ways to synchronize: | |
4661 1. Always parse from the start of the file. | |
4662 |:syn-sync-first| | |
4663 2. Based on C-style comments. Vim understands how C-comments work and can | |
4664 figure out if the current line starts inside or outside a comment. | |
4665 |:syn-sync-second| | |
4666 3. Jumping back a certain number of lines and start parsing there. | |
4667 |:syn-sync-third| | |
4668 4. Searching backwards in the text for a pattern to sync on. | |
4669 |:syn-sync-fourth| | |
4670 | |
4671 *:syn-sync-maxlines* *:syn-sync-minlines* | |
4672 For the last three methods, the line range where the parsing can start is | |
4673 limited by "minlines" and "maxlines". | |
4674 | |
4675 If the "minlines={N}" argument is given, the parsing always starts at least | |
4676 that many lines backwards. This can be used if the parsing may take a few | |
4677 lines before it's correct, or when it's not possible to use syncing. | |
4678 | |
4679 If the "maxlines={N}" argument is given, the number of lines that are searched | |
4680 for a comment or syncing pattern is restricted to N lines backwards (after | |
4681 adding "minlines"). This is useful if you have few things to sync on and a | |
4682 slow machine. Example: > | |
6647 | 4683 :syntax sync maxlines=500 ccomment |
7 | 4684 < |
4685 *:syn-sync-linebreaks* | |
4686 When using a pattern that matches multiple lines, a change in one line may | |
4687 cause a pattern to no longer match in a previous line. This means has to | |
4688 start above where the change was made. How many lines can be specified with | |
4689 the "linebreaks" argument. For example, when a pattern may include one line | |
4690 break use this: > | |
4691 :syntax sync linebreaks=1 | |
4692 The result is that redrawing always starts at least one line before where a | |
4693 change was made. The default value for "linebreaks" is zero. Usually the | |
4694 value for "minlines" is bigger than "linebreaks". | |
4695 | |
4696 | |
4697 First syncing method: *:syn-sync-first* | |
4698 > | |
4699 :syntax sync fromstart | |
4700 | |
4701 The file will be parsed from the start. This makes syntax highlighting | |
4702 accurate, but can be slow for long files. Vim caches previously parsed text, | |
4703 so that it's only slow when parsing the text for the first time. However, | |
3224 | 4704 when making changes some part of the text needs to be parsed again (worst |
7 | 4705 case: to the end of the file). |
4706 | |
4707 Using "fromstart" is equivalent to using "minlines" with a very large number. | |
4708 | |
4709 | |
4710 Second syncing method: *:syn-sync-second* *:syn-sync-ccomment* | |
4711 | |
4712 For the second method, only the "ccomment" argument needs to be given. | |
4713 Example: > | |
4714 :syntax sync ccomment | |
4715 | |
4716 When Vim finds that the line where displaying starts is inside a C-style | |
4717 comment, the last region syntax item with the group-name "Comment" will be | |
4718 used. This requires that there is a region with the group-name "Comment"! | |
4719 An alternate group name can be specified, for example: > | |
4720 :syntax sync ccomment javaComment | |
4721 This means that the last item specified with "syn region javaComment" will be | |
4722 used for the detected C comment region. This only works properly if that | |
4723 region does have a start pattern "\/*" and an end pattern "*\/". | |
4724 | |
4725 The "maxlines" argument can be used to restrict the search to a number of | |
4726 lines. The "minlines" argument can be used to at least start a number of | |
4727 lines back (e.g., for when there is some construct that only takes a few | |
4728 lines, but it hard to sync on). | |
4729 | |
4730 Note: Syncing on a C comment doesn't work properly when strings are used | |
4731 that cross a line and contain a "*/". Since letting strings cross a line | |
4732 is a bad programming habit (many compilers give a warning message), and the | |
4733 chance of a "*/" appearing inside a comment is very small, this restriction | |
4734 is hardly ever noticed. | |
4735 | |
4736 | |
4737 Third syncing method: *:syn-sync-third* | |
4738 | |
4739 For the third method, only the "minlines={N}" argument needs to be given. | |
4740 Vim will subtract {N} from the line number and start parsing there. This | |
4741 means {N} extra lines need to be parsed, which makes this method a bit slower. | |
4742 Example: > | |
4743 :syntax sync minlines=50 | |
4744 | |
4745 "lines" is equivalent to "minlines" (used by older versions). | |
4746 | |
4747 | |
4748 Fourth syncing method: *:syn-sync-fourth* | |
4749 | |
4750 The idea is to synchronize on the end of a few specific regions, called a | |
4751 sync pattern. Only regions can cross lines, so when we find the end of some | |
4752 region, we might be able to know in which syntax item we are. The search | |
4753 starts in the line just above the one where redrawing starts. From there | |
4754 the search continues backwards in the file. | |
4755 | |
4756 This works just like the non-syncing syntax items. You can use contained | |
4757 matches, nextgroup, etc. But there are a few differences: | |
4758 - Keywords cannot be used. | |
4759 - The syntax items with the "sync" keyword form a completely separated group | |
4760 of syntax items. You can't mix syncing groups and non-syncing groups. | |
4761 - The matching works backwards in the buffer (line by line), instead of | |
4762 forwards. | |
4763 - A line continuation pattern can be given. It is used to decide which group | |
4764 of lines need to be searched like they were one line. This means that the | |
4765 search for a match with the specified items starts in the first of the | |
24103 | 4766 consecutive lines that contain the continuation pattern. |
7 | 4767 - When using "nextgroup" or "contains", this only works within one line (or |
4768 group of continued lines). | |
4769 - When using a region, it must start and end in the same line (or group of | |
4770 continued lines). Otherwise the end is assumed to be at the end of the | |
4771 line (or group of continued lines). | |
4772 - When a match with a sync pattern is found, the rest of the line (or group of | |
4773 continued lines) is searched for another match. The last match is used. | |
4774 This is used when a line can contain both the start end the end of a region | |
4775 (e.g., in a C-comment like /* this */, the last "*/" is used). | |
4776 | |
4777 There are two ways how a match with a sync pattern can be used: | |
4778 1. Parsing for highlighting starts where redrawing starts (and where the | |
4779 search for the sync pattern started). The syntax group that is expected | |
4780 to be valid there must be specified. This works well when the regions | |
4781 that cross lines cannot contain other regions. | |
4782 2. Parsing for highlighting continues just after the match. The syntax group | |
4783 that is expected to be present just after the match must be specified. | |
4784 This can be used when the previous method doesn't work well. It's much | |
4785 slower, because more text needs to be parsed. | |
4786 Both types of sync patterns can be used at the same time. | |
4787 | |
4788 Besides the sync patterns, other matches and regions can be specified, to | |
4789 avoid finding unwanted matches. | |
4790 | |
4791 [The reason that the sync patterns are given separately, is that mostly the | |
4792 search for the sync point can be much simpler than figuring out the | |
4793 highlighting. The reduced number of patterns means it will go (much) | |
4794 faster.] | |
4795 | |
4796 *syn-sync-grouphere* *E393* *E394* | |
4797 :syntax sync match {sync-group-name} grouphere {group-name} "pattern" .. | |
4798 | |
4799 Define a match that is used for syncing. {group-name} is the | |
4800 name of a syntax group that follows just after the match. Parsing | |
4801 of the text for highlighting starts just after the match. A region | |
4802 must exist for this {group-name}. The first one defined will be used. | |
4803 "NONE" can be used for when there is no syntax group after the match. | |
4804 | |
4805 *syn-sync-groupthere* | |
4806 :syntax sync match {sync-group-name} groupthere {group-name} "pattern" .. | |
4807 | |
4808 Like "grouphere", but {group-name} is the name of a syntax group that | |
4809 is to be used at the start of the line where searching for the sync | |
4810 point started. The text between the match and the start of the sync | |
4811 pattern searching is assumed not to change the syntax highlighting. | |
4812 For example, in C you could search backwards for "/*" and "*/". If | |
4813 "/*" is found first, you know that you are inside a comment, so the | |
4814 "groupthere" is "cComment". If "*/" is found first, you know that you | |
4815 are not in a comment, so the "groupthere" is "NONE". (in practice | |
4816 it's a bit more complicated, because the "/*" and "*/" could appear | |
4817 inside a string. That's left as an exercise to the reader...). | |
4818 | |
4819 :syntax sync match .. | |
4820 :syntax sync region .. | |
4821 | |
4822 Without a "groupthere" argument. Define a region or match that is | |
4823 skipped while searching for a sync point. | |
4824 | |
856 | 4825 *syn-sync-linecont* |
7 | 4826 :syntax sync linecont {pattern} |
4827 | |
4828 When {pattern} matches in a line, it is considered to continue in | |
4829 the next line. This means that the search for a sync point will | |
4830 consider the lines to be concatenated. | |
4831 | |
4832 If the "maxlines={N}" argument is given too, the number of lines that are | |
4833 searched for a match is restricted to N. This is useful if you have very | |
4834 few things to sync on and a slow machine. Example: > | |
4835 :syntax sync maxlines=100 | |
4836 | |
4837 You can clear all sync settings with: > | |
4838 :syntax sync clear | |
4839 | |
4840 You can clear specific sync patterns with: > | |
4841 :syntax sync clear {sync-group-name} .. | |

7 | 4847 |
4848 :sy[ntax] [list] | |
4849 | |
4850 To show the syntax items for one syntax group: > | |

4858 See above for other arguments for the ":syntax" command. | |
4859 | |
4860 Note that the ":syntax" command can be abbreviated to ":sy", although ":syn" | |
4861 is mostly used, because it looks better. | |

28933 | 4864 13. Colorschemes *color-schemes* |
4865 | |
4866 In the next section you can find information about indivisual highlight groups | |
4867 and how to specify colors for them. Most likely you want to just select a set | |
4868 of colors by using the `:colorscheme` command, for example: > | |
4869 | |
4870 colorscheme pablo | |
4871 < | |
7 | 4872 *:colo* *:colorscheme* *E185* |
2152 | 4873 :colo[rscheme] Output the name of the currently active color scheme. |
4874 This is basically the same as > | |
4875 :echo g:colors_name | |
4876 < In case g:colors_name has not been defined :colo will | |
4877 output "default". When compiled without the |+eval| | |
4878 feature it will output "unknown". | |
4879 | |
7 | 4880 :colo[rscheme] {name} Load color scheme {name}. This searches 'runtimepath' |

4888 |
28933 | 4889 You have two options for customizing a color scheme. For changing the |
4890 appearance of specific colors, you can redefine a color name before loading | |
4891 the scheme. The desert scheme uses the khaki color for the cursor. To use a | |
4892 darker variation of the same color: > | |
4893 | |
4894 let v:colornames['khaki'] = '#bdb76b' | |
4895 colorscheme desert | |
26100 | 4896 < |
28933 | 4897 For further customization, such as changing |:highlight-link| associations, |
4898 use another name, e.g. "~/.vim/colors/mine.vim", and use `:runtime` to load | |
4899 the original color scheme: > | |
4900 runtime colors/evening.vim | |
4901 hi Statement ctermfg=Blue guifg=Blue | |
4902 | |
4903 Before the color scheme will be loaded all default color list scripts | |
4904 (`colors/lists/default.vim`) will be executed and then the |ColorSchemePre| | |
4905 autocommand event is triggered. After the color scheme has been loaded the | |
4906 |ColorScheme| autocommand event is triggered. | |
4907 | |
29779 | 4908 *colorscheme-override* |
28933 | 4909 If a color scheme is almost right, you can add modifications on top of it by |
4910 using the |ColorScheme| autocommand. For example, to remove the background | |
4911 color (can make it transparent in some terminals): > | |
4912 augroup my_colorschemes | |
4913 au! | |
4914 au Colorscheme pablo hi Normal ctermbg=NONE | |
4915 augroup END | |
4916 | |
29066 | 4917 Change a couple more colors: > |
4918 augroup my_colorschemes | |
4919 au! | |
4920 au Colorscheme pablo hi Normal ctermbg=NONE | |
4921 \ | higlight Special ctermfg=63 | |
4922 \ | highlight Identifier ctermfg=44 | |
4923 augroup END | |
4924 | |
28933 | 4925 If you make a lot of changes it might be better to copy the distributed |
4926 colorscheme to your home directory and change it: > | |
4927 :!cp $VIMRUNTIME/colors/pablo.vim ~/.vim/colors | |
4928 :edit ~/.vim/colors/pablo.vim | |
4929 | |
4930 With Vim 9.0 the collection of color schemes was updated and made work in many | |
4931 different terminals. One change was to often define the Normal highlight | |
4932 group to make sure the colors work well. In case you prefer the old version, | |
4933 you can find them here: | |
4934 https://github.com/vim/colorschemes/blob/master/legacy_colors/ | |
4935 | |

4941 14. Highlight command *:highlight* *:hi* *E28* *E411* *E415* | |
4942 | |
4943 There are three types of highlight groups: | |
4944 - The ones used for specific languages. For these the name starts with the | |
4945 name of the language. Many of these don't have any attributes, but are | |
4946 linked to a group of the second type. | |
4947 - The ones used for all syntax languages. | |
4948 - The ones used for the 'highlight' option. | |
4949 *hitest.vim* | |
4950 You can see all the groups currently active with this command: > | |
4951 :so $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/hitest.vim | |
4952 This will open a new window containing all highlight group names, displayed | |
4953 in their own color. | |
7 | 4954 |
4955 :hi[ghlight] List all the current highlight groups that have | |
4956 attributes set. | |
4957 | |
4958 :hi[ghlight] {group-name} | |
4959 List one highlight group. | |
4960 | |
28379 | 4961 *highlight-clear* *:hi-clear* |
7 | 4962 :hi[ghlight] clear Reset all highlighting to the defaults. Removes all |
4963 highlighting for groups added by the user! | |

4965 default colors to use. | |

|
4966 If there was a default link, restore it. |:hi-link| |
7 | 4967 |
4968 :hi[ghlight] clear {group-name} | |
4969 :hi[ghlight] {group-name} NONE | |
4970 Disable the highlighting for one highlight group. It | |
4971 is _not_ set back to the default colors. | |
4972 | |
4973 :hi[ghlight] [default] {group-name} {key}={arg} .. | |
4974 Add a highlight group, or change the highlighting for | |
26100 | 4975 an existing group. If a given color name is not |
26148 | 4976 recognized, each `colors/lists/default.vim` found on |
26100 | 4977 |'runtimepath'| will be loaded. |
7 | 4978 See |highlight-args| for the {key}={arg} arguments. |
4979 See |:highlight-default| for the optional [default] | |
4980 argument. | |
4981 | |
4982 Normally a highlight group is added once when starting up. This sets the | |
4983 default values for the highlighting. After that, you can use additional | |
4984 highlight commands to change the arguments that you want to set to non-default | |
4985 values. The value "NONE" can be used to switch the value off or go back to | |
4986 the default value. | |
4987 | |
4988 A simple way to change colors is with the |:colorscheme| command. This loads | |
4989 a file with ":highlight" commands such as this: > | |
4990 | |
4991 :hi Comment gui=bold | |
4992 | |
4993 Note that all settings that are not included remain the same, only the | |
4994 specified field is used, and settings are merged with previous ones. So, the | |
4995 result is like this single command has been used: > | |
4996 :hi Comment term=bold ctermfg=Cyan guifg=#80a0ff gui=bold | |
4997 < | |
856 | 4998 *:highlight-verbose* |
448 | 4999 When listing a highlight group and 'verbose' is non-zero, the listing will |
5000 also tell where it was last set. Example: > | |
5001 :verbose hi Comment | |
5002 < Comment xxx term=bold ctermfg=4 guifg=Blue ~ | |
856 | 5003 Last set from /home/mool/vim/vim7/runtime/syntax/syncolor.vim ~ |
448 | 5004 |
484 | 5005 When ":hi clear" is used then the script where this command is used will be |
5006 mentioned for the default values. See |:verbose-cmd| for more information. | |
448 | 5007 |
7 | 5008 *highlight-args* *E416* *E417* *E423* |
5009 There are three types of terminals for highlighting: | |
5010 term a normal terminal (vt100, xterm) | |
18972 | 5011 cterm a color terminal (MS-Windows console, color-xterm, these have the "Co" |
7 | 5012 termcap entry) |
5013 gui the GUI | |
5014 | |
5015 For each type the highlighting can be given. This makes it possible to use | |
5016 the same syntax file on all terminals, and use the optimal highlighting. | |
5017 | |

5064 start={term-list} *highlight-start* *E422* | |
5065 stop={term-list} *term-list* *highlight-stop* | |
5066 These lists of terminal codes can be used to get | |
5067 non-standard attributes on a terminal. | |
5068 | |
5069 The escape sequence specified with the "start" argument | |
5070 is written before the characters in the highlighted | |
5071 area. It can be anything that you want to send to the | |
5072 terminal to highlight this area. The escape sequence | |
5073 specified with the "stop" argument is written after the | |
5074 highlighted area. This should undo the "start" argument. | |
5075 Otherwise the screen will look messed up. | |
5076 | |
5077 The {term-list} can have two forms: | |
5078 | |
5079 1. A string with escape sequences. | |
5080 This is any string of characters, except that it can't start with | |
5081 "t_" and blanks are not allowed. The <> notation is recognized | |
5082 here, so you can use things like "<Esc>" and "<Space>". Example: | |
5083 start=<Esc>[27h;<Esc>[<Space>r; | |
5084 | |
5085 2. A list of terminal codes. | |
5086 Each terminal code has the form "t_xx", where "xx" is the name of | |
5087 the termcap entry. The codes have to be separated with commas. | |
5088 White space is not allowed. Example: | |
5089 start=t_C1,t_BL | |
5090 The terminal codes must exist for this to work. | |
5091 | |
5092 | |
5093 2. highlight arguments for color terminals | |
5094 | |
5095 cterm={attr-list} *highlight-cterm* | |
5096 See above for the description of {attr-list} |attr-list|. | |
5097 The "cterm" argument is likely to be different from "term", when | |
5098 colors are used. For example, in a normal terminal comments could | |
5099 be underlined, in a color terminal they can be made Blue. | |
16808 | 5100 Note: Some terminals (e.g., DOS console) can't mix these attributes |
5101 with coloring. To be portable, use only one of "cterm=" OR "ctermfg=" | |
5102 OR "ctermbg=". | |

7 | 5110 The {color-nr} argument is a color number. Its range is zero to |
5111 (not including) the number given by the termcap entry "Co". | |
5112 The actual color with this number depends on the type of terminal | |
5113 and its settings. Sometimes the color also depends on the settings of | |
5114 "cterm". For example, on some systems "cterm=bold ctermfg=3" gives | |
5115 another color, on others you just get color 3. | |
5116 | |
5117 For an xterm this depends on your resources, and is a bit | |
5118 unpredictable. See your xterm documentation for the defaults. The | |
5119 colors for a color-xterm can be changed from the .Xdefaults file. | |
5120 Unfortunately this means that it's not possible to get the same colors | |
5121 for each user. See |xterm-color| for info about color xterms. | |

5156 The number under "NR-16" is used for 16-color terminals ('t_Co' | |
5157 greater than or equal to 16). The number under "NR-8" is used for | |
5158 8-color terminals ('t_Co' less than 16). The '*' indicates that the | |
5159 bold attribute is set for ctermfg. In many 8-color terminals (e.g., | |
5160 "linux"), this causes the bright colors to appear. This doesn't work | |
5161 for background colors! Without the '*' the bold attribute is removed. | |
5162 If you want to set the bold attribute in a different way, put a | |
5163 "cterm=" argument AFTER the "ctermfg=" or "ctermbg=" argument. Or use | |
5164 a number instead of a color name. | |
5165 | |
5166 The case of the color names is ignored. | |

5171 Note that for some color terminals these names may result in the wrong | |

5177 When setting the "ctermfg" or "ctermbg" colors for the Normal group, | |
5178 these will become the colors used for the non-highlighted text. | |
5179 Example: > | |
5180 :highlight Normal ctermfg=grey ctermbg=darkblue | |
5181 < When setting the "ctermbg" color for the Normal group, the | |
11473 | 5182 'background' option will be adjusted automatically, under the |
5183 condition that the color is recognized and 'background' was not set | |
5184 explicitly. This causes the highlight groups that depend on | |
5185 'background' to change! This means you should set the colors for | |
5186 Normal first, before setting other colors. | |
16208 | 5187 When a color scheme is being used, changing 'background' causes it to |
7 | 5188 be reloaded, which may reset all colors (including Normal). First |

7 | 5190 |
5191 When you have set "ctermfg" or "ctermbg" for the Normal group, Vim | |
5192 needs to reset the color when exiting. This is done with the "op" | |
5193 termcap entry |t_op|. If this doesn't work correctly, try setting the | |
5194 't_op' option in your .vimrc. | |

5209 These give the attributes to use in the GUI mode. | |
5210 See |attr-list| for a description. | |
5211 Note that "bold" can be used here and by using a bold font. They | |
5212 have the same effect. | |
5213 Note that the attributes are ignored for the "Normal" group. | |
5214 | |
5215 font={font-name} *highlight-font* | |
5216 font-name is the name of a font, as it is used on the system Vim | |
5217 runs on. For X11 this is a complicated name, for example: > | |
5218 font=-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1 | |
5219 < | |
5220 The font-name "NONE" can be used to revert to the default font. | |
5221 When setting the font for the "Normal" group, this becomes the default | |
5222 font (until the 'guifont' option is changed; the last one set is | |
5223 used). | |
28379 | 5224 The following only works with Motif, not with other GUIs: |
7 | 5225 When setting the font for the "Menu" group, the menus will be changed. |
5226 When setting the font for the "Tooltip" group, the tooltips will be | |
5227 changed. | |
5228 All fonts used, except for Menu and Tooltip, should be of the same | |
5229 character size as the default font! Otherwise redrawing problems will | |
5230 occur. | |

5456 WildMenu Current match in 'wildmenu' completion. |
7 | 5457 |
523 | 5458 *hl-User1* *hl-User1..9* *hl-User9* |
7 | 5459 The 'statusline' syntax allows the use of 9 different highlights in the |

7 | 5461 |
1624 | 5462 For the GUI you can use the following groups to set the colors for the menu, |
7 | 5463 scrollbars and tooltips. They don't have defaults. This doesn't work for the |
5464 Win32 GUI. Only three highlight arguments have any effect here: font, guibg, | |
5465 and guifg. | |
5466 | |
5467 *hl-Menu* | |
5468 Menu Current font, background and foreground colors of the menus. | |
5469 Also used for the toolbar. | |
5470 Applicable highlight arguments: font, guibg, guifg. | |
5471 | |
28379 | 5472 NOTE: For Motif the font argument actually |
7 | 5473 specifies a fontset at all times, no matter if 'guifontset' is |
5474 empty, and as such it is tied to the current |:language| when | |
5475 set. | |
5476 | |

5491 ============================================================================== | |
28933 | 5492 15. Linking groups *:hi-link* *:highlight-link* *E412* *E413* |
7 | 5493 |
5494 When you want to use the same highlighting for several syntax groups, you | |
5495 can do this more easily by linking the groups into one common highlight | |
5496 group, and give the color attributes only for that group. | |
5497 | |
5498 To set a link: | |
5499 | |
5500 :hi[ghlight][!] [default] link {from-group} {to-group} | |
5501 | |
5502 To remove a link: | |
5503 | |
5504 :hi[ghlight][!] [default] link {from-group} NONE | |
5505 | |
5506 Notes: *E414* | |
5507 - If the {from-group} and/or {to-group} doesn't exist, it is created. You | |
5508 don't get an error message for a non-existing group. | |
5509 - As soon as you use a ":highlight" command for a linked group, the link is | |
5510 removed. | |
5511 - If there are already highlight settings for the {from-group}, the link is | |
5512 not made, unless the '!' is given. For a ":highlight link" command in a | |
5513 sourced file, you don't get an error message. This can be used to skip | |
5514 links for groups that already have settings. | |
5515 | |
5516 *:hi-default* *:highlight-default* | |
5517 The [default] argument is used for setting the default highlighting for a | |
5518 group. If highlighting has already been specified for the group the command | |
5519 will be ignored. Also when there is an existing link. | |
5520 | |
5521 Using [default] is especially useful to overrule the highlighting of a | |
5522 specific syntax file. For example, the C syntax file contains: > | |
5523 :highlight default link cComment Comment | |
5524 If you like Question highlighting for C comments, put this in your vimrc file: > | |
5525 :highlight link cComment Question | |
5526 Without the "default" in the C syntax file, the highlighting would be | |
5527 overruled when the syntax file is loaded. | |
5528 | |
23047 | 5529 To have a link survive `:highlight clear`, which is useful if you have |
5530 highlighting for a specific filetype and you want to keep it when selecting | |
5531 another color scheme, put a command like this in the | |
5532 "after/syntax/{filetype}.vim" file: > | |
5533 highlight! default link cComment Question | |
5534 | |
7 | 5535 ============================================================================== |
28933 | 5536 16. Cleaning up *:syn-clear* *E391* |
7 | 5537 |
5538 If you want to clear the syntax stuff for the current buffer, you can use this | |
5539 command: > | |
5540 :syntax clear | |
5541 | |
5542 This command should be used when you want to switch off syntax highlighting, | |
5543 or when you want to switch to using another syntax. It's normally not needed | |
5544 in a syntax file itself, because syntax is cleared by the autocommands that | |
5545 load the syntax file. | |
5546 The command also deletes the "b:current_syntax" variable, since no syntax is | |
5547 loaded after this command. | |
5548 | |
16944 | 5549 To clean up specific syntax groups for the current buffer: > |
5550 :syntax clear {group-name} .. | |
5551 This removes all patterns and keywords for {group-name}. | |
5552 | |
5553 To clean up specific syntax group lists for the current buffer: > | |
5554 :syntax clear @{grouplist-name} .. | |
5555 This sets {grouplist-name}'s contents to an empty list. | |
5556 | |
5557 *:syntax-off* *:syn-off* | |
7 | 5558 If you want to disable syntax highlighting for all buffers, you need to remove |
5559 the autocommands that load the syntax files: > | |
5560 :syntax off | |
5561 | |
5562 What this command actually does, is executing the command > | |
5563 :source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/nosyntax.vim | |
5564 See the "nosyntax.vim" file for details. Note that for this to work | |
5565 $VIMRUNTIME must be valid. See |$VIMRUNTIME|. | |
5566 | |
5567 *:syntax-reset* *:syn-reset* | |
5568 If you have changed the colors and messed them up, use this command to get the | |
5569 defaults back: > | |
5570 | |
5571 :syntax reset | |
5572 | |

7 | 5576 This doesn't change the colors for the 'highlight' option. |
5577 | |
5578 Note that the syntax colors that you set in your vimrc file will also be reset | |
5579 back to their Vim default. | |
5580 Note that if you are using a color scheme, the colors defined by the color | |
5581 scheme for syntax highlighting will be lost. | |

5588 Note that this uses the 'runtimepath' option. | |
5589 | |
5590 *syncolor* | |
5591 If you want to use different colors for syntax highlighting, you can add a Vim | |
5592 script file to set these colors. Put this file in a directory in | |
5593 'runtimepath' which comes after $VIMRUNTIME, so that your settings overrule | |
5594 the default colors. This way these colors will be used after the ":syntax | |
5595 reset" command. | |
5596 | |
5597 For Unix you can use the file ~/.vim/after/syntax/syncolor.vim. Example: > | |
5598 | |
5599 if &background == "light" | |
5600 highlight comment ctermfg=darkgreen guifg=darkgreen | |
5601 else | |
5602 highlight comment ctermfg=green guifg=green | |
5603 endif | |
26219 | 5604 < |
24 | 5605 *E679* |
5606 Do make sure this syncolor.vim script does not use a "syntax on", set the | |
5607 'background' option or uses a "colorscheme" command, because it results in an | |
5608 endless loop. | |
5609 | |
7 | 5610 Note that when a color scheme is used, there might be some confusion whether |
5611 your defined colors are to be used or the colors from the scheme. This | |
5612 depends on the color scheme file. See |:colorscheme|. | |
5613 | |
5614 *syntax_cmd* | |
5615 The "syntax_cmd" variable is set to one of these values when the | |
5616 syntax/syncolor.vim files are loaded: | |
26219 | 5617 "on" `:syntax on` command. Highlight colors are overruled but |
7 | 5618 links are kept |
26219 | 5619 "enable" `:syntax enable` command. Only define colors for groups that |
5620 don't have highlighting yet. Use `:highlight default` . | |
5621 "reset" `:syntax reset` command or loading a color scheme. Define all | |
7 | 5622 the colors. |
5623 "skip" Don't define colors. Used to skip the default settings when a | |
5624 syncolor.vim file earlier in 'runtimepath' has already set | |
5625 them. | |
5626 | |
5627 ============================================================================== | |
28933 | 5628 17. Highlighting tags *tag-highlight* |
7 | 5629 |
5630 If you want to highlight all the tags in your file, you can use the following | |
5631 mappings. | |
5632 | |
5633 <F11> -- Generate tags.vim file, and highlight tags. | |
5634 <F12> -- Just highlight tags based on existing tags.vim file. | |
5635 > | |
5636 :map <F11> :sp tags<CR>:%s/^\([^ :]*:\)\=\([^ ]*\).*/syntax keyword Tag \2/<CR>:wq! tags.vim<CR>/^<CR><F12> | |
5637 :map <F12> :so tags.vim<CR> | |
5638 | |
5639 WARNING: The longer the tags file, the slower this will be, and the more | |
5640 memory Vim will consume. | |
5641 | |
5642 Only highlighting typedefs, unions and structs can be done too. For this you | |
28141 | 5643 must use Universal Ctags (found at https://ctags.io) or Exuberant ctags (found |
5644 at http://ctags.sf.net). | |
7 | 5645 |
5646 Put these lines in your Makefile: | |
5647 | |
28141 | 5648 # Make a highlight file for types. Requires Universal/Exuberant ctags and awk |
7 | 5649 types: types.vim |
5650 types.vim: *.[ch] | |
1125 | 5651 ctags --c-kinds=gstu -o- *.[ch] |\ |
7 | 5652 awk 'BEGIN{printf("syntax keyword Type\t")}\ |
5653 {printf("%s ", $$1)}END{print ""}' > $@ | |
5654 | |
5655 And put these lines in your .vimrc: > | |
5656 | |
5657 " load the types.vim highlighting file, if it exists | |
27903 | 5658 autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.[ch] let fname = expand('<afile>:p:h') .. '/types.vim' |
7 | 5659 autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.[ch] if filereadable(fname) |
27903 | 5660 autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.[ch] exe 'so ' .. fname |
7 | 5661 autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.[ch] endif |

28933 | 5694 19. Color xterms *xterm-color* *color-xterm* |
7 | 5695 |
5696 Most color xterms have only eight colors. If you don't get colors with the | |
5697 default setup, it should work with these lines in your .vimrc: > | |
5698 :if &term =~ "xterm" | |
5699 : if has("terminfo") | |
5700 : set t_Co=8 | |
5701 : set t_Sf=<Esc>[3%p1%dm | |
5702 : set t_Sb=<Esc>[4%p1%dm | |
5703 : else | |
5704 : set t_Co=8 | |
5705 : set t_Sf=<Esc>[3%dm | |
5706 : set t_Sb=<Esc>[4%dm | |
5707 : endif | |
5708 :endif | |
5709 < [<Esc> is a real escape, type CTRL-V <Esc>] | |
5710 | |
5711 You might want to change the first "if" to match the name of your terminal, | |
5712 e.g. "dtterm" instead of "xterm". | |
5713 | |
5714 Note: Do these settings BEFORE doing ":syntax on". Otherwise the colors may | |
5715 be wrong. | |
5716 *xiterm* *rxvt* | |
5717 The above settings have been mentioned to work for xiterm and rxvt too. | |
5718 But for using 16 colors in an rxvt these should work with terminfo: > | |
5719 :set t_AB=<Esc>[%?%p1%{8}%<%t25;%p1%{40}%+%e5;%p1%{32}%+%;%dm | |
5720 :set t_AF=<Esc>[%?%p1%{8}%<%t22;%p1%{30}%+%e1;%p1%{22}%+%;%dm | |
5721 < | |
5722 *colortest.vim* | |
5723 To test your color setup, a file has been included in the Vim distribution. | |
671 | 5724 To use it, execute this command: > |
5725 :runtime syntax/colortest.vim | |
7 | 5726 |
237 | 5727 Some versions of xterm (and other terminals, like the Linux console) can |
7 | 5728 output lighter foreground colors, even though the number of colors is defined |
5729 at 8. Therefore Vim sets the "cterm=bold" attribute for light foreground | |
5730 colors, when 't_Co' is 8. | |
5731 | |
5732 *xfree-xterm* | |
5733 To get 16 colors or more, get the newest xterm version (which should be | |
237 | 5734 included with XFree86 3.3 and later). You can also find the latest version |
7 | 5735 at: > |
5736 http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.html | |
5737 Here is a good way to configure it. This uses 88 colors and enables the | |
5738 termcap-query feature, which allows Vim to ask the xterm how many colors it | |
5739 supports. > | |
5740 ./configure --disable-bold-color --enable-88-color --enable-tcap-query | |
5741 If you only get 8 colors, check the xterm compilation settings. | |
5742 (Also see |UTF8-xterm| for using this xterm with UTF-8 character encoding). | |
5743 | |
5744 This xterm should work with these lines in your .vimrc (for 16 colors): > | |
5745 :if has("terminfo") | |
5746 : set t_Co=16 | |
5747 : set t_AB=<Esc>[%?%p1%{8}%<%t%p1%{40}%+%e%p1%{92}%+%;%dm | |
5748 : set t_AF=<Esc>[%?%p1%{8}%<%t%p1%{30}%+%e%p1%{82}%+%;%dm | |
5749 :else | |
5750 : set t_Co=16 | |
5751 : set t_Sf=<Esc>[3%dm | |
5752 : set t_Sb=<Esc>[4%dm | |
5753 :endif | |
5754 < [<Esc> is a real escape, type CTRL-V <Esc>] | |
5755 | |
5756 Without |+terminfo|, Vim will recognize these settings, and automatically | |
5757 translate cterm colors of 8 and above to "<Esc>[9%dm" and "<Esc>[10%dm". | |
5758 Colors above 16 are also translated automatically. | |
5759 | |
5760 For 256 colors this has been reported to work: > | |
5761 | |
5762 :set t_AB=<Esc>[48;5;%dm | |
5763 :set t_AF=<Esc>[38;5;%dm | |
5764 | |
5765 Or just set the TERM environment variable to "xterm-color" or "xterm-16color" | |
5766 and try if that works. | |
5767 | |
5768 You probably want to use these X resources (in your ~/.Xdefaults file): | |
5769 XTerm*color0: #000000 | |
5770 XTerm*color1: #c00000 | |
5771 XTerm*color2: #008000 | |
5772 XTerm*color3: #808000 | |
5773 XTerm*color4: #0000c0 | |
5774 XTerm*color5: #c000c0 | |
5775 XTerm*color6: #008080 | |
5776 XTerm*color7: #c0c0c0 | |
5777 XTerm*color8: #808080 | |
5778 XTerm*color9: #ff6060 | |
5779 XTerm*color10: #00ff00 | |
5780 XTerm*color11: #ffff00 | |
5781 XTerm*color12: #8080ff | |
5782 XTerm*color13: #ff40ff | |
5783 XTerm*color14: #00ffff | |
5784 XTerm*color15: #ffffff | |
5785 Xterm*cursorColor: Black | |
5786 | |
5787 [Note: The cursorColor is required to work around a bug, which changes the | |
5788 cursor color to the color of the last drawn text. This has been fixed by a | |
1125 | 5789 newer version of xterm, but not everybody is using it yet.] |
7 | 5790 |
5791 To get these right away, reload the .Xdefaults file to the X Option database | |
5792 Manager (you only need to do this when you just changed the .Xdefaults file): > | |
5793 xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults | |
5794 < | |
5795 *xterm-blink* *xterm-blinking-cursor* | |
5796 To make the cursor blink in an xterm, see tools/blink.c. Or use Thomas | |
5797 Dickey's xterm above patchlevel 107 (see above for where to get it), with | |
5798 these resources: | |
5799 XTerm*cursorBlink: on | |
5800 XTerm*cursorOnTime: 400 | |
5801 XTerm*cursorOffTime: 250 | |
5802 XTerm*cursorColor: White | |
5803 | |
5804 *hpterm-color* | |
1125 | 5805 These settings work (more or less) for an hpterm, which only supports 8 |
7 | 5806 foreground colors: > |
5807 :if has("terminfo") | |
5808 : set t_Co=8 | |
5809 : set t_Sf=<Esc>[&v%p1%dS | |
5810 : set t_Sb=<Esc>[&v7S | |
5811 :else | |
5812 : set t_Co=8 | |
5813 : set t_Sf=<Esc>[&v%dS | |
5814 : set t_Sb=<Esc>[&v7S | |
5815 :endif | |
5816 < [<Esc> is a real escape, type CTRL-V <Esc>] | |
5817 | |
5818 *Eterm* *enlightened-terminal* | |
5819 These settings have been reported to work for the Enlightened terminal | |
5820 emulator, or Eterm. They might work for all xterm-like terminals that use the | |
5821 bold attribute to get bright colors. Add an ":if" like above when needed. > | |
5822 :set t_Co=16 | |
5823 :set t_AF=^[[%?%p1%{8}%<%t3%p1%d%e%p1%{22}%+%d;1%;m | |
5824 :set t_AB=^[[%?%p1%{8}%<%t4%p1%d%e%p1%{32}%+%d;1%;m | |
5825 < | |
5826 *TTpro-telnet* | |
5827 These settings should work for TTpro telnet. Tera Term Pro is a freeware / | |
5828 open-source program for MS-Windows. > | |
5829 set t_Co=16 | |
5830 set t_AB=^[[%?%p1%{8}%<%t%p1%{40}%+%e%p1%{32}%+5;%;%dm | |
5831 set t_AF=^[[%?%p1%{8}%<%t%p1%{30}%+%e%p1%{22}%+1;%;%dm | |
5832 Also make sure TTpro's Setup / Window / Full Color is enabled, and make sure | |
5833 that Setup / Font / Enable Bold is NOT enabled. | |
