# Introduction
|
|
|
|
`nvim-highlite` is a colorscheme template repository for Neovim 0.5+.
|
|
|
|
This template's _defaults_ focus on:
|
|
|
|
1. Compatability with [semantic highlighting](https://medium.com/@evnbr/coding-in-color-3a6db2743a1e).
|
|
* I was using colorschemes that often did not provide enough highlight groups to provide distinction between tokens.
|
|
2. Visibility in any range of blue-light.
|
|
* I use `redshift` often, and many colorschemes did not allow for me to see when I had lower color temperatures.
|
|
|
|
This template's _design_ focuses on:
|
|
|
|
1. Ease of use and rapid development.
|
|
* New features may simply be integrated with current configurations, rather than rewritten over them.
|
|
* Merging with the upstream repository is simplified by GitHub, allowing you to select what new defaults to add.
|
|
* It provides a large supply of defaults for plugins and programming languages.
|
|
* Define a smaller set of "categorical" highlights (see Neovim's `group-name` help page) and many more will `link` automatically.
|
|
2. Inversion of Control
|
|
* Changes made to the highlighting algorithm won't affect how you write your colorscheme.
|
|
* New highlight group attributes which are unaccounted for in older versions will simply be ignored without errors due to Lua's `table`s.

# Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
1. Neovim 0.5+
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
1. This repository should be forked, or cloned with `git clone https://github.com/Iron-E/nvim-highlite`.
|
|
2. Follow the instructions in [`colors/highlite.vim`](colors/highlite.vim).
|
|
* If you are on a Unix system, use the [setup script](setup.sh) like so:
|
|
```sh
|
|
chmod +x ./setup.sh
|
|
./setup.sh highlite <colorscheme>
|
|
```
|

Where `<colorscheme>` is the name of your desired colorscheme.
|
|
* If you are on Windows, rename the files manually.

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
> Why am I receiving `E5108: Error executing lua [string ":lua"]:1: module '<colorscheme>' not found`?
|
|
|
|
* Ensure your colorscheme's base folder is in Neovim's `rtp` before sourcing.

This repository in itself is an example of how to use `nvim-highlite`. Aside from this, the following colorschemes are built using `nvim-highlite`:
