vim-css3-syntax

CSS3 syntax (and syntax defined in some foreign specifications) support for Vim’s built-in syntax/css.vim

INSTALLATION

This version is compatible with Vim 9.0 or higher with default runtime files. If you still use Vim 8.x, you must use older version of this plug-in.

Vim package

$ mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/css3-syntax/start
$ cd ~/.vim/pack/css3-syntax/start
$ git clone https://github.com/hail2u/vim-css3-syntax.git

pathogen.vim

$ cd ~/.vim/bundle
$ git clone https://github.com/hail2u/vim-css3-syntax.git

Manual

Download vim-css3-syntax.tar.gz from GitHub, extract it, and copy the contents to your ~/.vim directory.

NOTES

Vendor Prefixes

I do not plan to support CSS3 properties (or functions) with vendor prefixes, such as -webkit- or -moz-, etc. These are hard to maintain because they are:

• Added frequently
• Changed unexpectedly
• Removed silently

These must be supported by separate syntax plugins (Vim 7.4’s default CSS syntax file supports this). If you want to highlight prefixed properties or functions manually, :highlight and :match would help:

:highlight VendorPrefix guifg=#00ffff gui=bold
:match VendorPrefix /-\(moz\|webkit\|o\|ms\)-[a-zA-Z-]\+/

These commands highlight vendor prefixed properties and functions instantly with cyan and bold (on gVim).

Media Queries

I drop Media Queries Level 3 support in v0.12.0. There is no easy way to support Media Queries properly with after syntax plugin like this one, sorry. If you want to highlight Media Queries correctly, you must update Vim to 8.0+.
