Previously, one of the syntaxes for italic was (greatly summarized) something
like this:
[^_]_[^_]+_[^_]
That is to say, the regex matched the blanks on both sides of the italic span,
as well as the actual span content. That means that if you had consecutive
italic words:
_some_ _italic_ _words_
...only the odd-numbered words would be highlighted: the space after "_some_"
was counted as part of that span, so it wasn't available as part of "_italic_"
and therefore "_italic_" wouldn't be highlighted. Likewise, if the first word
in a buffer was italic, it wouldn't be highlighted because the first underscore
was not preceded by a non-underscore character!
Now we use lookahead/lookbehind assertions, which don't count as part of the
matched span, so consecutive spans don't interfere with one another.
Fixes#2111.
Previously, a code block was anything between triple-backtics, including inline
blocks:
some text ```
not a codeblock, but highlighted as one
``` other text
and even if the closing backticks had the wrong indent:
```
this is a code block containing a triple backtick
```
this is still a code block, but Kakoune thinks otherwise
```
Now we use the -match-capture flag to ensure the start and end fences have
exactly the same indent.
Previously, the generic code-block region was defined first, which meant that
it took priority over all the language-specific highlighters. Now we define
the generic code-block highlighting *after* the others, which fixes#2304.
Previously, code-spans were defined as ordinary inline markup, but in Markdown
ordinary formatting doesn't work inside code-spans. Therefore, they are now
regions unto themselves, defined according to section 6.3 of the CommonMark
spec <https://spec.commonmark.org/0.28/#code-spans>, which addresses a comment
on #2111.
Some syntax checkers (such as `cppcheck`) like to pass
extra-information using a regular diagnostic line - but with null
coordinates (0:0).
This commit makes the `:lint` command ignore such messages, to prevent
`set-option` from failing when assigning coordinates to `lint_flags`, and to avoid unecessary information in the `*lint-output*` buffer.
According to the Rust language reference[1], a raw string starts with an 'r',
zero or more '#' characters, and a '"', and doesn't close until a '"' is
immediately followed by the matching number of '#' characters.

* Make clang.kak compatible with POSIX `[`.
* Make lint.kak dump range/line-specs correctly. It still doesn't read them
correctly -- that'll be easier after the upcoming $kak_ changes for lists.
Now that we have a nice standard way to express lists of strings,
registers can be fully exposed. An new $kak_main_reg_... env var
was added to provide the previous behaviour which is relied on by
doc.kak.
Automatic reparsing of %sh{...}, while convenient in many cases,
can be surprising as well, and can lead to security problems:
'echo %sh{ printf "foo\necho bar" }' runs 'echo foo', then 'echo bar'.
we make this danger explicit, and we fix the 'nop %sh{...}' pattern.
To reparse %sh{...} strings, they can be passed to evaluate-commands,
which has been fixed to work in every cases where %sh{...} reparsing
was used..
Note: `GNU/screen` has a different interpretation of what constitutes
a "vertical split", hence the inverted command descriptions, compared
to the tmux/iterm etc.
Closes#1626
A Rust data structure that is generic over a type conventionally uses a single
capital letter for the type variable, like `Vec<T>` or `HashMap<K, V>`. A Rust
data structure that is generic over a reference-lifetime conventionally uses an
apostrophe followed by a single lower-case letter for the lifetime variable,
like `Something<'a>`.
Previously, Kakoune would highlight "'a>" as the lifetime parameter; with this
change Kakoune highlights "'a" and leaves the closing ">" alone.
Changes:
- Highlight float literals with float type suffixes (nf64 and nf32)
- Make module items use the module color
- Highlight macro variables $variable
- Highlight lifetimes
- Highlight u128 and i128
- Highlight character literals (e.g. 'a')
- Highlight dyn keyword (will in the future be used for trait objects)
Previously, due to a typo, Kakoune would highlight backtick spans from the first backtick to the last backtick in a paragraph, no matter how many backticks were in between. Now spans correctly stop at the first backtick after the opening backtick.
set-face now takes a scope argument, and faces can be overridden on
a buffer or window basis.
colorscheme apply on global scope, which should be good enough for
now.
Fixes#1411
Letting any character to be escaped is error prone as it looks like
\l could mean [:lower:] (as it used to with boost) when it only means
literal l.
Fix the haskell.kak file as well.
Fixes#1945
Previously, two underscore characters in a document would mark the entire
space between them as italic, no matter how far apart. Now we only accept a
single consecutive newline within an inline-formatted span, so hard-wrapped
documents will still format nicely but stray characters won't mess up your
entire document.
Note that the highlighter for backtick-enclosed spans was modified,
even though it's redundant with the code-block highlighting introduced
in 5bc62c694.
As well as the traditional `[text](url)` syntax, Markdown allows the text to
be followed by a tag in square brackets. If the text is followed by nothing
at all, then the tag for that link is the text itself. The actual URL
is supplied later in the document, like a footnote at the bottom of the page:
Some text with [a link][tag] and [another link].
[tag]: http://www.example.com/link1
[another link]: http://www.example.com/link2
This adds the "link" face to the URL in such footnote lines.
There does not seem to be any reasonable use cases of not collapsing
jumps when the input is not comming from the user. Always collapse
them.
It could make sense to move jump collapsing out of context_wrap as
in general any action not comming directly from the user should
collapse them, at the moment a comment or mapping will not collapse
jumps, which is unfortunate.
With the introduction of -match-capture for the lua region highlighter,
the string closing regex had spurious captures that were not going to
match.
Fixes#1850
This commit avoids false positives when highlighting literals such as
`$window`, which is a regular variable but still highlighted as a
special value.
Special highlighting of variables that start with a dollar sign `$`
was also removed, as not all variables start with a dollar sign,
and we don't have a reliable way yet to detect variables.
