boost regex tolerates non-escaped special characters, and escaped
non-special characters. Standardize on stricter syntax, where
special characters must be escaped, and non-special characters must
not.
Highlighting perl regex patterns with regular expressions (with
highlighters) caused several misses that made most of the file
unreadable. This commit makes `perl.kak` not try to highlight
those patterns in the code, and also addresses issues with string
highlighting.
Import keywords are put in keyword face instead of meta face.
This leaves room for pragmas and macros to be in the meta face.
Operator keywords are put in keyword face too.
Finally, expression keywords are put in face attribute.
Previously, if you opened a new line after an underlined heading (what
the CommonMark spec calls a "Setext heading") or inserted a newline into
a line that started with `**strong emphasis**` the Markdown autoindent
hook would assume the leading symbols were list bullets and paste them
at the beginning of the new line.
However, the CommonMark specification says that list bullets must be
followed by at least one horizontal whitespace character, so Setext
heading underlines and strong emphasis are not valid list bullets and
should not be matched by the autoindent pattern.
This commit changes the regex that selects the pastable prefix of the
previous line so that it must match either:
- One or more `>` characters with optional whitespace between them
(a blockquote prefix), optionally followed by a list bullet; or
- An optional blockquote prefix and a list bullet
Since we don't strictly need either the blockquote prefix nor the list
bullet, we could concievably just make both optional... but for lines
without either, the regex would find a zero-length match, and for the
purposes of copy/paste Kakoune treats that as a one-character match.
Therefore, the regex is written to fail if neither pattern is found.
this uses the string opening regex from the c-family highlighter to prevent
highlighting the rest of the file as a string on encountering the character
literal '"'
Generalize this option type, which is a timestamped list of
<line number>|<arbitrary string>. That way this type is not strongly
coupled with the flag-lines highlighter, and can be reused for other
use cases.
range-faces are now used to replace-range highlighters, where the string
part is not interpretted as a face but as a display line, so the name was
not relevant anymore.
