Pinnacle
Intro
Pinnacle provides functions for manipulating :highlight groups in Vimscript (eg. pinnacle#italicize) and Lua (eg. require'wincent.pinnacle'.italicize()).
Installation
To install Pinnacle, use your plug-in management system of choice.
If you don't have a "plug-in management system of choice", I recommend Pathogen (https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen) due to its simplicity and robustness. Assuming that you have Pathogen installed and configured, and that you want to install Pinnacle into ~/.vim/bundle, you can do so with:
git clone https://github.com/wincent/pinnacle.git ~/.vim/bundle/pinnacle
Alternatively, if you use a Git submodule for each Vim plug-in, you could do the following after cd-ing into the top-level of your Git superproject:
git submodule add https://github.com/wincent/pinnacle.git ~/vim/bundle/pinnacle
git submodule init
To generate help tags under Pathogen, you can do so from inside Vim with:
:call pathogen#helptags()
Functions
pinnacle#sub_newlines()
Replaces newlines with spaces.
Note that this function is not implemented in the Lua API, because it is required only for support on legacy Vim versions.
pinnacle#capture_line()
Runs a command and returns the captured output as a single line.
Useful when we don't want to let long lines on narrow windows produce unwanted embedded newlines.
Note that this function is not implemented in the Lua API, because it is required only for support on legacy Vim versions.
pinnacle#capture_highlight()
Gets the current value of a highlight group.
pinnacle#extract_highlight()
Extracts a highlight string from a group, recursively traversing linked groups, and returns a string suitable for passing to :highlight.
pinnacle#extract_bg()
Extracts just the bg portion of the specified highlight group.
pinnacle#extract_fg()
Extracts just the bg portion of the specified highlight group.
pinnacle#extract_component()
Extracts a single component (eg. "bg", "fg", "italic" etc) from the specified highlight group.
pinnacle#dump()
Returns a dictionary representation of the specified highlight group.
pinnacle#highlight()
Returns a string representation of a dictionary containing bg, fg, term, cterm and guiterm entries.
pinnacle#italicize()
Returns an italicized copy of group suitable for passing to :highlight.
pinnacle#embolden()
Returns a bold copy of group suitable for passing to :highlight.
pinnacle#underline()
Returns an underlined copy of group suitable for passing to :highlight.
pinnacle#decorate()
Returns a copy of group decorated with style (eg. "bold", "italic" etc) suitable for passing to :highlight.
To decorate with multiple styles, style should be a comma-separated list.
