Vim plugin for simple, extensible highlighting (by regex matching) of functions, namespaces, members and such.

It provides function (and namespace for C++) highlighting for several languages out of the box. If your color scheme doesn't define the highlighting groups for functions (or namespaces) you can define them in your vimrc.

For example:

hi Function  guifg=#afdfdf ctermfg=152
hi Namespace guifg=#a8a8a8 ctermfg=248

These options are provided to fully configure and extend the plugin within its reach. For a more sophisticated syntax highlighting scheme, you should consider a ctags based plugin, such as vimscript #2646.

A dictionary with extra prefix rules. The prefix rule key should be its name, and the value should be a string with the prefix (a vim regex, actually).

Default:

'Member': '.'
'PointerMember': '->'

This option behaves exactly like g:simlight_prefix_rules but matches postfixes instead of prefixes.

Default:

'Function': '('
'Namespace': '::'
'Array': '['

A dictionary with extra highlight groups for rules. An entry's key should be a rule name, and its value a list of highlight groups.

Notes:

• For each rule, only the first existing group will be used.
• The provided groups will be checked before the default ones.

Default:

'Function':     ['SLFunction', 'CTagsFunction', 'Function']
'Namespace':    ['SLNamespace', 'CTagsNamespace', 'Namespace', 'CTagsClass', 'Class', 'Type']
'Array':        ['SLArray', 'Identifier']
'Member':       ['SLMember', 'CTagsMember', 'Identifier']
'PoiterMember': ['SLPointerMember', 'SLMember', 'CTagsMember', 'Identifier']

A dictionary with the rules for each file type. An entry's key should be a file type, and its value a list of rule names to apply.

By using this option, you can add new file types, or override existing ones.

Default:

'c':          ['Function']
'cpp':        ['Function', 'Namespace']
'javascript': ['Function']
'csharp':     ['Function']
'java':       ['Function']
'python':     ['Function']
'matlab':     ['Function']
'php':        ['Function']
'vim':        ['Function']

A dictionary with the containedin groups for each file type. An entry's key should be a file type, and its value a list of syntax groups.

Some syntax files are ill-defined, or already match some of the same patterns, so this option is provided to fix these cases.

Default:

'java':   ['javaParenT', 'javaParenT1', 'javaParentT2']
'python': ['pythonFunction']
'vim':    ['vimFuncBody', 'vimFunction', 'vimFuncName', 'vimUserFunc', 'vimExecute']
