Is it possible to use bright colors variants in syntax definitions? #45

The documentation show that you can set black, red, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white as well as bold, underline and reverse. Is it possible to combine these, e.g, bold blue?

Yes, you can bitwise-or the flags.

    fg,bg        0=default     1=black       2=red         3=green
                 4=yellow      5=blue        6=magenta     7=cyan
                 8=white       256=bold      512=underline 1024=reverse

Bold and blue would be 256 + 5 = 261. Demo:

echo -en 'normal_blue\nbold_blue\n' | mle -N -S 'syn_test,.*,4,0' -s 'normal_blue,,5,0' -s 'bold_blue,,261,0' -y syn_test -H0

Sweet, I'll probably add that to the man page then. 🙂
