== Specs highlighters
|
||||
|
||||
The following highlighters are useful to add indicators like lint warnings,
|
||||
git blame output or spelling typos.
|
||||
See <<options#types,`:doc options types`>> for the format of `line-specs`
|
||||
and `range-specs`.
|
||||
|
||||
*flag_lines* <face> <option_name>::
|
||||
add columns in front of the buffer, and display the flags specified
|
||||
in `line-specs` option, using <face>.
|
||||
In this example two words will be added in the gutter: a blue Foo at
|
||||
line 1 and a bold red/yellow Bar on line 3:
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
declare-option line-specs my_flags
|
||||
set-option window my_flags 1486635122:1|Foo:3|{red,yellow+b}Bar
|
||||
add-highlighter window/ flag_lines blue my_flags
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
*ranges* <option_name>::
|
||||
use the data in the `range-specs` option of the given name to highlight
|
||||
the buffer. The string part of each tuple of the range-specs is
|
||||
interpreted as a *face* to apply to the range.
|
||||
In this example the 3 first chars of the buffer will be colored in red:
|
||||
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------
|
||||
declare-option range-specs my_range
|
||||
set-option window my_range 1486635122:1.1,1.3|red
|
||||
add-highlighter window/ ranges my_range
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
*replace-ranges* <option_name>::
|
||||
use the data in the `range-specs` option of the given name to highlight
|
||||
the buffer. The string part of each tuple of the range-specs is
|
||||
interpreted as a *display line* to display in place of the range.
|
||||
Here, the 3 first chars of the buffer will be replaced by the word 'red':
|
||||
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------
|
||||
declare-option range-specs my_range
|
||||
set-option window my_range 1486635122:1.1,1.3|red
|
||||
add-highlighter window/ replace-ranges my_range
