Improve syntax for function

[GrayJack]

Would be possible to do something like this in function definition? Where "fn" gets itallic and bright and the parameters of the function have a different color

[TheEnigmaBlade]

Syntax themes are what control the exact coloring and style of your code, while the language packages parse the text based on a grammar and provide a set of CSS classes used by syntax themes.

You can customize most elements of your syntax theme in your local stylesheet. For example:

.syntax--source.syntax--rust {
  .syntax--keyword.syntax--fn {
    color: #66D9EF !important;
    font-style: italic;
  }
}

Pressing ctrl-alt-shift-p will display a pop-up message with a list of CSS classes applied to the text at the location of the cursor. Pick the ones you want and prefix each with .syntax--.

Function parameters currently aren't given any special classes because that type of highlighting is typically performed by full language parsers (the Rust Language Server, for example) for context-aware syntax highlighting. If the highlighting of function parameters were to be added to this language package, the colors would only apply to the variables within the function declaration and no where else in the function.

That was exactly what I wanted

And thanks for the info :3

Another question, is there a way to colorize structs ?

[TheEnigmaBlade]

Structs individually, no. The struct keyword is currently grouped together with enum, trait, union, and type.

You can re-style them with .storage.type:not(.core).

[GrayJack]

Oh, I thinks I expressed myself wrong, I mean colorize a struct name, no matter what, like, if I define a sctruct, when I instance a object of that struct, the struct name gets colorized. Kinda like the std lib structs names, but for crates structs and in code structs

[TheEnigmaBlade]

Doing that requires semantic syntax highlighting, which Atom doesn't support.

It's really impossible to tokennize function parameters? Like it's done in ocaml, python, etc?
