Attempt to generate some stylesheets from nvim treesitter files #13

Open foxfriends opened 1 year ago

foxfriends commented 1 year ago

The problem with just adding a language to the language.toml is that there will still be no highlighting until someone makes a stylesheet

I see. Is it possible to generate sytlesheet from https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/tree/master/queries?

any progress on this?

foxfriends commented 7 months ago

I have no plan to do this currently. You're welcome to try :)

brainlessbitch commented 7 months ago

i would, but i know zero rust lol

Generating these stylesheets could probably be done in any language, as a separate script rather than part of syncat program itself... but still requires learning how nvim does its queries and also how syncat does its queries and then translating the two... haha quite a bit of work

hmmmm, well, i can start working on it, have you written like a full spec for the syncat style stuff, i'm working on translating the ecma/javascript query, but i'm stuck because some rules seem to be overriding others

I believe the most comprehensive documentation for syncat themes is in there^
