- zsh-syntax-highlighting / highlighters / regexp
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- This is the `regexp` highlighter, that highlights user-defined regular
- expressions. It's similar to the `pattern` highlighter, but allows more complex
- patterns.
-
- ### How to tweak it
-
- To use this highlighter, associate regular expressions with styles in the
- `ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_REGEXP` associative array, for example in `~/.zshrc`:
-
- ```zsh
- typeset -A ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_REGEXP
- ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_REGEXP+=('\bsudo\b' fg=123,bold)
- ```
-
- This will highlight "sudo" only as a complete word, i.e., "sudo cmd", but not
- "sudoedit"
-
- The syntax for values is the same as the syntax of "types of highlighting" of
- the zsh builtin `$zle_highlight` array, which is documented in [the `zshzle(1)`
- manual page][zshzle-Character-Highlighting].
-
- See also: [regular expressions tutorial][perlretut], zsh regexp operator `=~`
- in [the `zshmisc(1)` manual page][zshmisc-Conditional-Expressions]
