Treesitter support

[fhill2]

Can nvimpager show treesitter syntax highlighting?

From my tests below, nvimpager.lua isn't parsing treesitter syntax highlighting.

Here is what I am using to test:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nvimpager/site/pack/packer/opt
ln -s ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/opt/nvim-treesitter ~/.local/share/nvimpager/site/pack/packer/opt/nvim-treesitter

~/.config/nvimpager/init.vim

packadd nvim-treesitter

lua << EOF
require'nvim-treesitter.configs'.setup {
ensure_installed = {
  "lua"
  },
highlight = {
enable = true
},
}
EOF

using nvimpager on a lua file to see if treesitter works:

nvimpager ~/lua.lua # shows nvim syntax highlighting
nvimpager -c ~/lua.lua # shows nvim syntax highlighting
nvimpager -p ~/lua.lua # shows treesitter highlighted text

Sorry, somehow I missed this issue. I just checked and I can reproduce it.

Can also confirm. Also tabstop settings are ignored in cat mode, but work fine in pager mode.

Today I found out that synID() which was used in cat mode does not see all highlights added to a position. I will have to refactor cat mode to use vim.inspect_pos()

Would this be fixed any time soon?

You are welcome to work on it. I currently do not have the time to fix it / I can not give an ETA.

As noted above it would be necessary to refactor the code to use vim.inspect_pos() instead of synID(). I previously had a short look at the output of that function and it seems it yields all different extmarks and treesitter tokens like this:

{
  buffer = 14,
  col = 3,
  extmarks = { {
      col = 2,
      end_col = 10,
      end_row = 112,
      id = 25,
      ns = "illuminate.highlight",
      ns_id = 20,
      opts = {
        end_col = 10,
        end_right_gravity = false,
        end_row = 112,
        hl_eol = false,
        hl_group = "IlluminatedWordText",
        hl_group_link = "IlluminatedWordText",
        ns_id = 20,
        priority = 199,
        right_gravity = true
      },
      row = 112
    } },
  row = 112,
  semantic_tokens = {},
  syntax = {},
  treesitter = { {
      capture = "string",
      hl_group = "@string.yaml",
      hl_group_link = "Constant",
      lang = "yaml",
      metadata = {}
    }, {
      capture = "property",
      hl_group = "@property.yaml",
      hl_group_link = "Identifier",
      lang = "yaml",
      metadata = {}
    } }
}

The main question I had (and did not have the time to figure out) was in which order these different highlight groups should be stacked/merged to produce the final display attributes.

Thanks for reply, I would have a look and learn lua first. Night

Hey folks — just to let to whoever is interested to know — I have managed to add treesitter syntax highlighting support. The only piece that's missing is a way to determine if the treesitter resolver function that I wrote should be used instead of built-in synID, so that compatibility with regular syntax highlighting is preserved.
As soon as this is done followed by some testing — I will submit a pull request.

If you want to cat a file with treesitter's syntax hightlight, there exist some alternatives:

• texcat: written in lua, output to terminal/LaTeX/HTML
• syncat: written in rust, output to terminal
