You will not need any additional tooling to run this file. Just open it in Neovim and follow the instructions. The process is divided in five steps: 1. Rename the template, 2. Edit your colorscheme's information, 3. Define your colors, 4. Define your highlight groups and links, and 5. Sourcing your colorscheme. ]] --[[ Step 1: Renaming * If this file is distributed with a colorscheme it's probably already named correctly and you can skip this step. * If you forked/cloned/copied this repository to create your own colorscheme, you will have to rename this template to match the name of your colorscheme. NOTE: Neovim doesn't really care about whitespace in the name of the colorscheme but it does for filenames so make sure your filename doesn't have any whitespace character. | colorscheme name | module name | template filename | |:-----------------:|:-----------:|:-----------------:| | foobar | foobar | foobar.lua | | foo-bar | foo_bar | foo-bar.lua | | foo bar | foo_bar | foo-bar.lua or | | foo_bar | foo_bar | foo_bar.lua | Rename the following files: * `colors/highlite.vim` * `lua/highlite.lua` Where 'highlite' is the name of your colorscheme. ]] --[[ Step 2: Information This is the name of your colorscheme which will be used as per |g:colors_name|. ]] vim.g.colors_name = 'highlite' --[[ Step 3: Colors Next you will define all of the colors that you will use for the color scheme. Each one should be made up of three parts: ```lua = { -- Give each color a distinctive name. '#', -- Hexadecimal color used in GVim/MacVim or 'NONE'. <256-bit color code>, -- Integer 0–255 used by terminals supporting 256 colors or 'NONE'. '<16-bit color code>' -- color name used by less capable color terminals, can be 'darkred', 'red', 'darkgreen', 'green', 'darkyellow', 'yellow', 'darkblue', 'blue', 'darkmagenta', 'magenta', 'black', 'darkgrey', 'grey', 'white', or 'NONE' } ``` If your colors are defined correctly, the resulting colorscheme is guaranteed to work in GVim (Windows/Linux), MacVim (MacOS), and any properly set up terminal emulator.

See |attr-list| for more information. It can also have a color, and/or multiple s. style=|{ [, ] [color=]}) } ``` Or you can link an highlight group to another. ```lua = {link=''} ``` Here is an example: ```lua SpellBad = { -- ← name of the highlight group bg='NONE', -- background color fg=red, -- foureground color style={ -- the style 'undercurl', -- undercurl (squiggly line) color=red -- the color of the undercurl } } ``` If you weren't satisfied with undercurl, and also wanted another effect, you can add another one below 'undercurl' and it will be applied as well: ```lua SpellBad = { -- ← name of the highlight group bg='NONE', -- background color fg=red, -- foureground color style={ -- the style 'undercurl', -- undercurl (squiggly line) 'standout' color=red -- the color of the undercurl } } ``` You can add any custom highlight group to the standard list below but you shouldn't remove any if you want a working colorscheme. Most of them are described under |highlight-default|, some from |group-name|, and others from common syntax groups. Both help sections are good reads. NOTE: |Replace-mode| will probably be useful here. NOTE: /As long as you do not remove any highlight groups or colors/, you can safely ignore any highlight groups that are `link`ed others. For example, programming languages almost exclusively link to the 1st and 2nd sections, so as long as you define everything there you will automatically be defining the rest of the highlights, which is one of the benefits of using this template. ]] --[[ DO NOT EDIT `BG`, `FG`, or `NONE`.

Use color names instead of numbers: :help cterm-colors * The Windows console doesn't do italics, underlines or bolded text; it is limited to normal and reverse. Keep that in mind if you want your colorscheme to be usable in as many environments as possible by as many people as possible. * The Windows TERMINAL, however, is capable of more. * All of the terminal emulators in use these days allow their users to change the 16 so-called 'ANSI' colors. It is also possible on some platforms to change some or all of the 256 colors in the xterm palette. Don't take anything for granted. * When used against a light background, strong colors work better than muted ones. Light or dark doesn't really matters. Also, it is harder to discriminate between two similar colors on a light background. * Both strong and muted colors work well against a dark background. It is also easier to work with similar colors, but dark colors don't work at all. * Use as many text samples as possible. String-heavy languages may look completely different than keyword-heavy ones. This can have an impact on the usability of your colorscheme. * Most terminal emulators and terminal multiplexers currently in use on unix-like systems support 256 colors but they almost always default to a '$TERM' that tells Vim otherwise. Your users will need to make sure their terminal emulator/multiplexer is correctly set up if they want to enjoy the best possible experience. ]] -- Change 'highlite' to the name of your colorscheme as defined in step 1. require('highlite')( highlight_group_normal, highlight_groups, terminal_ansi_colors ) EOF " Thanks to Romain Lafourcade (https://github.com/romainl) for the original template (romainl/vim-rnb).
