indentLine breaking syntax for various other syntax highlighting plugins, one specific is stylus about indentline HOT 12 CLOSED

Here is another example for more info (JADE templating vim plugin)

Link to conflicting plugin

No indentline:

With indentline:

from indentline.

Can you give me a sample of stylus file?

from indentline.

Absolutely, here is an example pulled from my footer:

.footer
  background-color by_black
  color white
  padding 1em
  margin 1em 0
  itemwidth = 110
  > .menu
    width (itemwidth*3+10)px
    margin auto
    > .item
      display inline-block
      width unit(itemwidth, px)
      text-align center

here is what it looks like normally in vim w/out the indent plugin using the stylus plugin i urled at the top:

from indentline.

If you want these two plugin to work together, you'd better make some changes for vim-stylus.
For example,

syn match stylusProperty "^\s*\zs\s\%(\%([[:alnum:]-]\|#{[^{}]*}\)\+[ :]\|:[[:alnum:]-]\+\)"hs=s+1 contains=@stylusCssProperties,@stylusCssSelectors skipwhite nextgroup=stylusCssAttribute
syn match stylusProperty "^\s*\zs\s\%(:\=[[:alnum:]-]\+\s*=\)"hs=s+1 contains=@stylusCssProperties,@stylusCssSelectors skipwhite nextgroup=stylusCssAttribute
    =>
syn match stylusProperty "\(^\s*\)\@<=\%(\%([[:alnum:]-]\|#{[^{}]*}\)\+[ :]\|:[[:alnum:]-]\+\)"hs=s+1 contains=@stylusCssProperties,@stylusCssSelectors skipwhite nextgroup=stylusCssAttribute
syn match stylusProperty "\(^\s*\)\@<=\%(:\=[[:alnum:]-]\+\s*=\)"hs=s+1 contains=@stylusCssProperties,@stylusCssSelectors skipwhite nextgroup=stylusCssAttribute

in syntax/stylus.vim line:330

from indentline.

Nice work! are you sure this is the only solution? there are a couple other syntax plugins broken IIRC after trying this out.

from indentline.

This is not the only solution, but this solution only need to change little code.

from indentline.

I think this issue can be closed.

from indentline.

well, not really a little code because I have to do this for each syntax file that it breaks, its a little change that's never ending. It still pretty much means this plugin is not compatible with a lot of syntax highlight files.

from indentline.

There are two other syntax plugins I'm using that are also now broken because of this, I think this bug is actually a pretty high priority, and should be re-opened.

from indentline.

I think it's impossible to resolve this issue through modifying indentLine only.
'help syn-priority' says:

When several syntax items may match, these rules are used:
1. When multiple Match or Region items start in the same position, the item  defined last has priority.
2. A Keyword has priority over Match and Region items.
3. An item that starts in an earlier position has priority over items that start in later positions.

Some syntax plugins have 'syn match xxx /^\s*xxxxxxxx/' which matchs the same position as indentLine, so the highlighting is overruled by indentLine(because indentLine is in the after directory). The issue is either indentLine's highlighting is overruled by other syntax plugin or indentLine's highlighting overrules other syntax plugin. The only solution is that let 'syn match xxx /^\s*xxxxxxxx/' matches different position, it can be achieved by using \@<=.

from indentline.

Thank you for clarifying, I will echo this to the following repo's and hopefully get them to resolve this.

from indentline.

Just to clarify then with jade, am i right that the issue is here :

https://github.com/digitaltoad/vim-jade/blob/master/syntax/jade.vim#L32

And that I need to alter that to \@<= ?
