[Feature request] Correct highlight on custom environments #182

Open Strauman opened 6 years ago

Strauman commented 6 years ago

Motivation

Being able to correctly syntax-highlight own defined environments.

Example usage

\lstnewenvironments{myListing}{}{}
\begin{myListing}
VerbatimHighlighting here
\end{myListing}

Thoughts on implementation

Get the environment names from settings. Then reformat the user settings to a regex and write this regex to a file that can be included in grammars/latex.cson.

I think that verbatim environments and math environments are the environments that I would define myself (sometimes), and I suspect that these are the ones that are most common to define yourself (as opposed to lists, tikz, etc.)

It wouldn't be possible to do this dynamically based on the document's settings, but it would be possible to color \begin{env}...\end{env} for any value of env. But still, it would only color those keywords, and there would be no way to have special inside highlighting.

@kylebarron I was not thinking about the document's settings, but the user settings of your amazing atom plugin. If it's not possible, then it's not possible :)
