Syntax highlighting for VIM

vim-slim

slim syntax highlighting for vim.

Install with pathogen

If you are already using pathogen, you can skip to step 3.

1. Install pathogen (if you haven't already)

    mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle && \
    curl -LSso ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim https://tpo.pe/pathogen.vim
   

2. Edit ~/.vimrc to run pathogen as the first line of the file (if you haven't already)

   execute pathogen#infect()
   syntax on
   filetype plugin indent on

3. Install slim-vim

    pushd ~/.vim/bundle; \
    git clone git://github.com/slim-template/vim-slim.git; \
    popd
   

Install with Vundle

1. Install Vundle into ~/.vim/bundle/.

    mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle; pushd ~/.vim/bundle; \
    git clone https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
    popd

2. Configure your vimrc for Vundle. Here's a bare-minimum vimrc that enables vim-slim :

   set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
   call vundle#begin()
   
   Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'
   Plugin 'slim-template/vim-slim.git'
   
   call vundle#end()
   syntax enable
   filetype plugin indent on

If you're adding Vundle to a built-up vimrc, just make sure all these calls are in there and that they occur in this order.

3. Open vim and run :PluginInstall.

To update, open vim and run :PluginInstall! (notice the bang!)

Known Issues

We use setfiletype upon autodetect, which does not overrides filetype once it was set. That leads into an issue when filetype is set to html before we took our chance (happens when slim file has doctype html header):

Vim's filetype.vim has an autocmd that tries to detect html files based on doctype and this is triggered before scripts in ftdetect/* are sourced.

-- #38 (comment)

To avoid that you have two options. Either using doctype 5 instead of doctype html or adding your own enforced version of autocmd to your .vimrc:

autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.slim setlocal filetype=slim

vim-slim's Issues

Nested code

Would be nice to support (like vim jade) this slim syntax:

p: a(href="foo") bar

Thanks!

< and > markers

.x< attr=""

expected behaviour: attr="" is highlighted
actual behaviour: it's not highlighted

Syntax highlight doesn't work with brackets

Hi guys, I'm having this issue with brackets:

When you don't have any space before closing the bracket, it does not highlight the rest of the file.

But if there are some space, it does.

Any help to solve it?

Move to slim-template organization

Hi ,

do you want to transfer this repo to the slim-template organization? I will give you access there if you want.

Daniel (@minad, for the Slim team)

nested parens mismatch

this here is not rendered correctly:

a{:href => url("/#{e.short}")}

it'll color the first {and the first }

UPDATE
ok, this was via the haml2slim converter and not exactly slim syntax. Just figured that out. But the nesting should work anyway.

Remove caveat about vim "doctype html"

This was patched in vim and neovim.

vim/vim@2685212

Slow

Running MacVim 7.3 (62) with Janus (https://github.com/carlhuda/janus) and vim-slim.

Navigating a 241 line slim file is slow and painful. Disabling vim-slim and having no syntax highlighting speeds things right up.

Anyone else experiencing this?

web components

well, non-standard tags are not highlighted. So using polymer with vim-slim is a difficult thing

<TAB> Seems Messed Up

Tab key in INSERT mode tends to jump around in the document instead of indent... Planned behavior, or bug?

Slim comment syntax is wrong

I'm not sure if this is the fault of the syntax file or not. I've tried in both NERDCommenter and vim-commentary to make comments in a slim template and both render the same (incorrect way).

This line:

  = breadcrumb_to 'New Plan'

becomes this:

  /* = breadcrumb_to 'New Plan' */

According to the docs, it should be (I believe)

  / = breadcrumb_to 'New Plan'

Let me know if I'm on the right track or if this is doesn't belong here. Thanks.

Inivisible chars are not shown

After I installed this plugin, invisible chars in *.slim files are not shown. How can I enable invisible chars?

XML namespace highlighting broken

urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

In this example, xmlns:xhtml and its associated value should be highlighted, but they are not.

Install instructions

How about some install instructions?

Slim syntax highlighting not working?

Hi, syntax highlighting doesn't work for my Vundle set up. Does it only happen for me or everyone? Thanks in advance.

Here is my vimrc

set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()

syntax enable
filetype plugin indent on

Attributes without quotes break detecting terminating parenthesis

Missing License

I like your bundle, but I can't find the license. You have a bunch of commits from different people, they technically need to agree to whatever license you pick -- the longer you wait the more difficult it might get to retroactively slap a license on the project.

Or am I missing something?

Some incorrect highlighting

It's easy to see in the following example:
h1 this is header h1
p this is paragraph p

div
  h1 this is header h1
  p this is paragraph p 

Abandoned?

Is this project abandoned?

'syntax enable' must be set

I spent a lot of time as a Vim newbie trying to work out why the syntax highlighting was not being applied to my slim files, the solution is here https://github.com/kchmck/vim-coffee-script#install-using-vundle as per CoffeeScript, perhaps the readme could mention something like this also?

Incorrect class/id color

Think there should be an orange color of the wrapper

Highlight for Rails helpers

If you take a look at HAML highlighting in VIM you'll see that in expression like:
= link_to ... helper link_to will be highlighted via ruby/rails syntax highlighter. This feature is missing for Slim.

Vim sets filetype to HTML (not Slim) when using 'doctype html'

I was editing my Rails application layout file in Vim 7.3 with this vim-slim plugin installed and noticed that Vim was using a filetype of HTML instead of Slim for my application.html.slim file and not providing syntax highlighting.

My other views that followed the *.html.slim naming convention were correctly using the Slim filetype and syntax.

The culprit seemed to be the first line of the file, which was doctype html. I changed it to the equivalent doctype 5 and now Vim correctly sets the filetype to Slim for this file.

Bad highlighting: div data-foo=({ x: y })

Note how the parenthesis color mismatches:

Syntax Highlighting is broken :(

Is it just me or is syntax highlighting not working since #22?

Install trouble with spf13/spf13-vim

Trying to get this working with spf13-vim setup. Can't get it to syntax highlight. Added Bundle 'slim-template/vim-slim.git' to the vimrc.bundles.local file and bundle installed to no avail.

Syntax highlight data attributes

When using html5 data attributes syntax highlight is only applied to some of the attribute name.

E.g.:
h1 data-my-attribute="some value" Heading

Only data is colored and -my-attribute is not

Why the rails tags are not highlighted?

My code is like this, so I wonder how to highlight the rails tags and something else(like the "render" method)?

ruby code starting with =' breaks highlighting

The new code output line indicators came with commit https://github.com/stonean/slim/commit/24941ea96e261a60545e402915a4b80b191c9b2a

=' this_ruby_code.treated_as("unclosed string")

Unescaped interpolation screws up highlighting

script src="#{{asset_path('application.js')}}"

messes up all the highlighting below it.

syntax highlight issue, variable in meta content

If you take a look at my screenshot you'll see after the variable the highlighting stops https://db.tt/QhwYdfff

Vundle instructions out of date?

here's my setup:

set nocompatible              " be iMproved, required
filetype off                  " required

" set the runtime path to include Vundle and initialize
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()

" let Vundle manage Vundle, required
Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'

Plugin 'slim-template/vim-slim'

call vundle#end()            " required


filetype plugin indent on    " required

Highlighting breaks when there is no space before tag

Pictures below show what I mean. This is very annoying when dealing with things like rails partials.
