# vim-bunttex

LaTeX syntax highlight in Vim/Neovim are too complicated and unnecessarily colourful.

Thus, I created my own LaTeX syntax highlight file with the aim of being simple and readable.

Two features of my LaTeX syntax files:

- **minimalism**:

  LaTeX files can be *huge*.

  I don't need complex regex rules to highlight every detail.

  The [main syntax file](syntax/tex.vim) only highlights what I consider to be necessary.

- **supporting files**:

  Sometimes you need extra highlightings, e.g., when writing Ti*k*Z.

  I also provide additional syntax files you can use in specific circumstances.

  See directory [`syntax-additional`](syntax-additional) to see the additional files.

## Installation

Install using your favourite plugin manager, or use Vim's built-in package

support:

```sh

mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/jessekelighine/start

cd ~/.vim/pack/jessekelighine/start

git clone https://github.com/jessekelighine/vim-bunttex

```

## Tips

Source the support files only when you need them.

For example, when you open a Ti*k*Z file,

simply run

```vim

:source path/to/syntax-additional/tikz.vim

```

and you will get highlighting for Ti*k*Z.

To 'undo' the Ti*k*Z highlighting, run

```vim

:set ft=tex

```
