Improved Lua 5.3 syntax and indentation support for Vim.
Highlighting: stock Vim (left) vs. this plugin (right): (Color scheme: solarized dark; Font: Anonymous Pro)
vim-lua supports a few options. All are boolean and off by default: set an
option to 1 with let g:lua_syntax_someoption = 1
to enable it (setting to 0
for disabling is currently not supported -- just don't set the option at all to
keep it disabled).
g:lua_syntax_nosymboloperator
disables highlighting of the Lua symbol
operators (that is, all operators except for the keyword operators and
and
or
).g:lua_syntax_fancynotequal
enables displaying Lua's ~=
operator with
Unicode character ≠
.g:lua_syntax_nofold
disables code folding. If this option is set, you can
selectively reenable some folds with g:lua_syntax_fold_<group>
where
<group>
can be table, comment, function, control or string. You can also
have even more fine-grained control by enabling specific syntax regions
instead of groups. Look in the source code for the second argument of call s:FoldableRegion
for all options, but note that the names are subject to
change in later versions.g:lua_syntax_nostdlib
disables highlighting of all standard library names
like, io
, print
and even require
, error
etc. If that is too much you
can use g:lua_syntax_noextendedstdlib
instead to keep _G
, module
,
require
, assert
, error
, pcall
and xpcall
highlighted.Contributions are welcome! Please follow the existing code style and in your pull request explain the reason for the proposed change and how it is valuable.
The indent code was based off this gist.
