# Rainbow Parentheses Improved
This is a fork of [Rainbow Parentheses Improved](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4176) by [luo chen](http://www.vim.org/account/profile.php?user_id=53618).
I've applied some minor corrections and modifications:
* Operators outside any braces get the last color of the rainbow. Previously, it
was being ignored for highlighting.
* Simplified/corrected logic to define highlighting precedence for braces as
higher than for operators. So if you got a brace that's also an operator and
you got to the situation that it can match both roles, it'll assume the brace
role.
* Changed default highlighted operators (now most punctuation) and highlighted
braces (added `<` and `>` for C++, Rust, C# and Java).
* Removed optional highlighting for operators. Now hard enabled.
* Changed loading autocommand for the events "syntax" and "colorscheme" so that
the rainbow gets loaded only when there's syntax being applied and aways after
switching colorschemes.
* Changed default colors. Default rainbow colors copied from [gruvbox colorscheme](https://github.com/morhetz/gruvbox/blob/master/colors/gruvbox.vim#L366) (good for dark and light backgrounds).
Chevrons are a hard case to deal with. To distinguish "less than" from "bracket
for open generics argument list" it's assumed that "less than" will **always**
be surrounded by spaces. If not, it'll be treated as an open template's angle
bracket (although, still some checking applies for the `template` or `operator`
keyword, for C++ for example).
# Installation
Vundle : Add this to .vimrc
```vim
Plugin 'frazrepo/vim-rainbow'
```
# Simple Configuration
Put this on your `.vimrc` for loading it for specific file types:
```vim
au FileType c,cpp,objc,objcpp call rainbow#load()
```
or just this to enable it globally:
```vim
let g:rainbow_active = 1
```
# Advanced Configuration
An advanced configuration allows you to define what parentheses to use
for each type of file. You can also determine the colors of your
parentheses by this way (read file vim73/rgb.txt for all named colors).
e.g. this is an advanced config (add these sentences to your `.vimrc`):
```vim
let g:rainbow_active = 1
let g:rainbow_load_separately = [
\ [ '*' , [['(', ')'], ['\[', '\]'], ['{', '}']] ],
\ [ '*.tex' , [['(', ')'], ['\[', '\]']] ],
\ [ '*.cpp' , [['(', ')'], ['\[', '\]'], ['{', '}']] ],
\ [ '*.{html,htm}' , [['(', ')'], ['\[', '\]'], ['{', '}'], ['<\a[^>]*>', '[^>]*>']] ],
\ ]
let g:rainbow_guifgs = ['RoyalBlue3', 'DarkOrange3', 'DarkOrchid3', 'FireBrick']
let g:rainbow_ctermfgs = ['lightblue', 'lightgreen', 'yellow', 'red', 'magenta']
```
# User Command
```
:RainbowToggle --you can use it to toggle this plugin.
:RainbowLoad --you can use it to load/reload this plugin.
```
