|
|
color, a background color, and some attributes. The value of a face has the
|
|
following format:
|
|
|

== Markup strings
|
|
|
|
In certain contexts, Kakoune can take a markup string, which is a string
|
|
containing formatting informations. 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:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
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
|
|
(`\\`).
