# Author: Magnus Woldrich <[email protected]>
# Update: 2011-06-20 23:26:38
#
# This is based on nicoulaj's zsh-syntax-highlighting project [0]. I've
# taken the initial version of his script and added highlighting for
# filetypes and a few other things. The filetype highlighting rules are
# taken from my LS_COLORS [1] project.
#
# This will only work in terminals capable of displaying 256 colors.

# other words, these arrays are indexed and tied by their own
# functionality. If they have been arranged inconsistently, things goes
# wrong. Please see `_zsh_highlight-zle-buffer` and `_zsh_highlight_add-
# highlighter`.
