does conceal option need to be included?

[chrisbra]

yes, you need conceal, in order to hide certain parts of the file.

[nolleh]

oh, tnx. now I enabled the conceal option, so It works as expected for normal window.

but I don't know exactly it related with this feature, (so if it is not related, just let me know :)) in preview window, once concealed and when I redraw (with another text), it repeatedly remains it's code.

it will be great If there is some suggestion!

first run in preview

thanx!

[chrisbra]

how did you run it?

[nolleh]

I use some open source to run it.

https://github.com/nolleh/pipe-mysql.vim (I've forked to colorize from this one)

• https://github.com/NLKNguyen/pipe-mysql.vim

I am not sure about it, but as long as I anlayze it,

it process as follows.

1. open preview window (silent! exe "noautocmd botright pedit |")
2. with window option
   • linumber:0, wordwrap: 0, whitespace :0, colorcolumn: 0
3. move and make preview editable (noautocmd wincmd P, setlocal modifiable)
4. run passed command (silent! exe "noautocmd .! " . l:shell_command).
   • in my case, shell command will be mysql --password < test.mysql | grcat ~/.grcat

[lollipopman]

I see a similar issue with vim 9.0

colorize-issue.txt

[dougpagani]

@lollipopman I get the same with git status's output:

^[[1;31mmodified:   PiPrinter.md^[[m

Yields: (w/ :ColorHighlight)

# (red) 
^[[1;31mmodified:   PiPrinter.md

I do have conceal enabled, which is apparent in this example in that it conceals the ending code but not the beginning. It's colorizing, but the codes screw-up intelligibility.

[chrisbra]

I have not seen ^[[31m before, so I made a small change to hide that one as well. Please let me know if this works
