*rgb:RRGGBB*:::
hexadecimal value
*rgba:RRGGBBAA*:::

color. For technical reasons alpha values must be >16 if specified.

If left unspecified, the value of *default* is used.
Alpha values are used to blend the face onto either its base (see below) or
else onto whatever color happens to be used at the moment. For technical
reasons, alpha values must be >16.

the final attribute is applied
Final::::
Override the previous face instead of merging with
it. Can only be replaced if another face with the final
attribute is applied.
*f*:::
final foreground, as final but only applies to face's
foreground color
Final foreground::::
Same as final, but only applies to a face's foreground color.
*g*:::
final background, as final but only applies to face's
background color
Final background::::

attributes
Final attributes::::
Same as final, but only applies to a face's attributes.
'base'::
The base face on which this face applies, which can be any face name,
as long as no cycle is introduced. A face can reference itself, in
which case it will apply on top of the parent scope version.
base::
The face onto which the rest of the face applies. Its value can be any
face name, as long as no cycle is introduced. A face can reference itself,
in which case it will apply on top of the parent scope.

== Markup strings
In certain contexts, Kakoune can take a markup string, which is a string
containing formatting information. In these strings, the {facename}
syntax will enable the face facename until another face gets activated,
or the end of the string is reached.
In certain contexts, Kakoune can understand markup strings, which are strings
containing formatting information. In these strings, the {facename} syntax
will enable the face facename until another face gets activated, or the end
of the string is reached.
For example, the following command displays the text "default" in the
Default face, and "error" in the Error face:
*Default* face, and "error" in the *Error* face:
----
echo -markup 'default {Error}error{Default} default'
----
Inside a markup string, a literal `{` character is written `\{`, and a
literal backslash (`\`) that precedes a '{' character is escaped as well
Inside a markup string, a literal `{` character is written `\{`, and a literal
backslash `\` character that precedes a `{` character is escaped as well
(`\\`).
The `{\}` string disables markup processing for the rest of the line,
and can be used to avoid having to escape text that might be mistaken
for markup instructions.
The `{\}` string disables markup processing for the rest of the line. It
can be used to avoid having to escape text that might be mistaken for markup
instructions.
For example this will prevent any '{' in the current buffer name from
being incorrectly interpreted as markup instruction.
