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
