prism.el VS nvim-ts-rainbow

Heh, seriously, though, it's not necessary to use a rainbow of colors. You can use any number of colors and rotate through them. For example, this uses just 3 colors, gradually desaturating them as the depth increases. Since each color is easily distinguished from the other 2, it makes code very readable: https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el/raw/master/images/parens-0.5.png

If you can use tree-sitter, that's obviously a good choice. Alternatively, you can see how I implemented https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el, which isn't regexp-based, using Emacs's built-in syntax parsing instead.

I did some experimenting with supporting XML directly in https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el/issues/16. It seems that it's not easily done with existing Emacs SGML-related functions, but I'm guessing that tree-sitter will help a lot in Emacs 29.

It's not exactly what you asked for, but you may also find this useful: https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el It can highlight parens distinctly too.

As examples, I can recommend code in https://github.com/alphapapa/highlight-function-calls (simple) and https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el (more complex).

There is also the package prism.el.

The best advice I can offer is to carefully and repeatedly study the Elisp manual section on font-lock, and to model on the source code of a similar project. The most I've done with it is in https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el

There is one for emacs. Could be good inspo if someone wanted to make a VSCode version.

for the past few days I have been working on a fork to the nvim-ts-rainbow plugin: nvim-ts-rainbow2. I am pretty much done, except for one small issue: finding out the level of a node relative to other container nodes. I know how to determine the level of a node in the tree (just keep counting up from 1 while going through the parents until I hit the root), but that is not what I need.

I noticed that it was abandoned when I was about to update my PR. The PR as it is up there is a mess, so I went through a major refactor and subsequently lost everything like an idiot.

The "look" you're looking for is given by a bunch of plugins: - OneDark.nvim as colorscheme - TS Rainbow for rainbow brackets - BarBar for bufferline - Nvim Devicons and NerdFonts to view file icons - NvimTree as a file manager - Indent Blankline to show indentation guides - CompetiTest with vertical split UI - Feline as statusline plugin. In the screenshot feline is configured with a custom theme. As you can see statusline is different for CompetiTest buffers: a different statusline can be configured for every different filetype using conditional_config.

For highlightning parentheses you could check out nvim-ts-rainbow

Consider using nvim-ts-rainbow to get rainbow parentheses.

To get changed colors for nested brackets, use nvim-ts-rainbow. I think the rest of the comments have you covered on getting colors up to snuff for you. To me it just looks like mismatched colors, not that anything is wrong

I'm happy to say I have fixed [the bug in nvim-ts-rainbow] that caused all JSX props to be highlighted](https://github.com/p00f/nvim-ts-rainbow/issues/118) in extended_mode instead of just highlighting the tag names. It was bugging me for a while when working on React components. Now, only the tag names and angle brackets in JSX elements are highlighted.

Lsp support is pretty good with Neovim, but obviously depends on what Lisp you use. I also like ts-rainbow a lot, but that's literally just visual fluff for brackets
