Tree Sitter Typst

[storm pebble]

Here is a list of all the tree-sitter-typst repo on github (I confess i did not search on other plateforms):

• https://github.com/SeniorMars/tree-sitter-typst : Not updated since April 5, no queries
• https://github.com/frozolotl/tree-sitter-typst : Updated 3 days ago: with highlight querie... (could not get it to work on my machine tho...)
• https://github.com/TheOnlyMrCat/tree-sitter-typst: updated on April 5, with semi-working highlight queries
• https://github.com/jooooscha/tree-sitter-typst does not seem to be worked on at the moment.

if someone has a working elix setup, please share, i have no syntax highlighting i want to die

[fresh citrus]

can you share your issue with my grammar?

I think we are wagering that @fresh citrus would be our savior.

[fresh citrus]

…once I manage to correctly parse functions

Then we dine in VALHALLA!

i get this, do i need to specify some cc flags or something?

[fresh citrus]

hmm, that is interesting

which helix version are you using?

[cedar canopy]

helix 23.03 (3cf03723)

lemme update it

[storm pebble]

I’ve tried some time ago, I will try again

[cedar canopy]

fixed after updating helix to 92380540

[fresh citrus]

nice!

[cedar canopy]

umm

[fresh citrus]

what happens if you just enter test *bold* _italic_?

because sadly I have not yet fully implemented highlighting of code

just math and markup (well, excluding lists/enums/terms) are complete

[storm pebble]

@fresh citrus got this

pretty good

[fresh citrus]

looks about right

[storm pebble]

in the second half of june, i will have some time to spend on typst tooling (i am learning rust rn). How could I help with your grammar ?

it is in C right ?

[fresh citrus]

four things I guess:

• first (and most important), implement parsing for the remaining syntax elements
• then, implementing the remaining queries would be nice (for indentation, selection, etc.)
• I'd like to have tests for syntax highlighting, not just for parsing
• if these things are done, maybe some improvements to the grammar would be nice, but most of it is already pretty good imo

it is implemented in JS and C++

https://github.com/frozolotl/tree-sitter-typst/blob/master/grammar.js
https://github.com/frozolotl/tree-sitter-typst/blob/master/src/scanner.cc

these are the most important files

[storm pebble]

then, implementing the remaining queries would be nice (for indentation, selection, etc.)
thoses are treesitter queries right ?

[fresh citrus]

yes, kind of like https://github.com/frozolotl/tree-sitter-typst/blob/master/queries/highlights.scm

[storm pebble]

ok I'll look into it

[kind furnace]

has anyone got it working in neovim?

[fresh citrus]

https://github.com/frozolotl/tree-sitter-typst/issues/2

maybe this issue helps

[kind furnace]

got a similar issue as the commenter, seemingly works but no colors

not sure how to fix it

[fresh citrus]

same thing here ^

Hi, I am a user of Neovim and nvim-treesitter, and I found a great repository, frozolotl/tree-sitter-typst.
The capture names in queries/highlights.scm don't match Neovim conventions, and just applying it doesn't seem to color well in Neovim.
For example, Neovim uses @text.emphasis instead of @markup.italic.

https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#highlights

I will make highlights.scm for Neovim and if there is demand, I will make it public.
Thank you for nice work!

[fresh citrus]

oh, that would be great!
you may want to try just modifyung the existing highlights.scm and just appending the neovim capture names, I imagine that would work too

[storm pebble]

Would that break the support for helix?

[celest hill]

By the way, nvim-treesitter queries for major programming languages such as Python and Rust are maintained in the nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter repository.
https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter/tree/master/queries
It would be best to register here in the future :)

[fresh citrus]

I wouldn't think so, but that might require further testing
