Built-in queries
################
As of version 0.8.3 until (excluding) version 0.10.0 Neovim can only match one
node per query. This is a limitation of Neovim and there is nothing that could
be done on this end.
As of version 0.10.0 we could use `iter_matches` for highlighting.
As of version 0.10.0 updating the highlighting of a nested node is messed up.
This is because the undocumented behaviour of `iter_captures` was changed.
This is a good opportunity to switch back to `iter_matches`.
Insufficient information from parsers
#####################################
Some languages do not have a container node for parenthesized expressions,
which makes it impossible to write queries which can reliable determine
nesting. We can either just give up and not try or make a best-effort attempt
and if the highlighting messed up then so be it.
Affected languages:
- Elm
- SQL
- Vim script
Queries which I cannot port
===========================
I do not know enough about the following languages in order to write good
queries. Contributions are welcome.
- devicetree
- gdscript
- graphql
- meson
- ocaml
- ocaml_interface
- scala
- solidity
- sparql
- supercollider
- turtle
