Thanks for the reply. None of these are essential in any way, so no worries.

Doesn’t really work. This is a limitation of the Sublime API. I have tried setting the background to match the syntax background and tried changing font color to try and simulate the effect, but it just doesn’t work well with sublime. Sorry. If this ever changes in the sublime API moving forward, then I will gladly add the feature.[/quote]
Hello!, previously in the past ST2 version, the bracket/character was highlighted when clicking to the right of it, like this: “)|”, now this will trigger to search the bracket to the right of it, instead of the clickedone … ahh! Is there any setting to return to the old behaviour? It was more user-friendly.
Thanks for great package!

When I completely re-wrote the plugin to add in custom brackets, that feature didn’t get carried over, but it is on my list of things to look into bringing back. I had kind of grown to like it working only from within the brackets, but I understand that is a personal preference.
I’ve been pretty busy, but hopefully sometime soon, I can take a look at plugin issues and start working through them again.
As a result, I only get the \end{sidewaystable} sourrounded with a black line and a ? indicating that ST is unable to find the opening bracket. Any idea why?
One more questions: If this works, I would like to extend it to something like “open”: “(\begin\{(table|sidewaystable|figure|sidewaysfigure|algorithm)\})”. But I don’t think that works because only one captureing group is allowed. That is the alternative? That’s a simple regex question, I guess.

You can use non-capturing groups: (?:something|something else|etc). You need one and only one capturing group, but you can have as many non-capturing groups as you need.
If you are still having trouble, please provide some example Latex Code I can test with. I don’t use every language, so I always ask people provide me with example code, a clear explanation of what the they want BH to highlight, and their best attempting at creating the rules and/or scripts needed. This helps save me time.

Yes, of course. Here is some code
[code]\begin{sidewaystable}
\caption{this is a sidewaytable}
\end{sidewaystable}
\begin{table}
\caption{this is a table}
\end{table}
\begin{figure}
\caption{figure}
\end{figure}[/code]
And my is modified entry in the brackets array in bh_core.sublime-settings.
The problem was simply you have to escape backslashes in regex but also escape backslashes in the JSON settings strings as well, which can cause slightly unintuitive escapeing:
So basically “\begin” wasn’t sufficiently escaped in the JSON setting string to translate to an appropriate escaped regex…I know, I know this is the convoluted stuff that happens when you represent a regex expression in a string.
This is what you need:
[pre=#252525] {
“name”: “latex_floats”,
“open”: “(\\begin\{(?:table|sidewaystable|figure|sidewaysfigure|algorithm)\})”,
“close”: “(\\end\{(?:table|sidewaystable|figure|sidewaysfigure|algorithm)\})”,
// “open”: “(\begin\{sidewaystable\})”,
// “close”: “(\end\{sidewaystable\})”,
“style”: “default”,
“scope_exclude”: “string”, “comment”],
“language_filter”: “whitelist”,
“language_list”: “LaTeX”],
“enabled”: true
},[/pre]

Hello!
I’m sorry if it has been asked before, but I was playing with bracket highlighter (I’m still learning Sublime Text itself) and I was wondering if it was possible to only highlight the bracket itself, not the block as a whole…
But to directly answer your question, you can copy the bh_core.sublime-settings file to your Packages/User folder and change the default to solid like shown below:
If you want to change a specific bracket to be this way, and others to be different, you can can tweak them on an individually; all of this is covered in the readme.
I am looking for something similar but exactly the same characters on margin: ()

I would like to get some ready to use codes for styling my BH plugin [/quote]
It was a proof of concept, but it isn’t a practical style. I think I outline a number of the issues with it in the same post.
[quote=“tito”]I’m right thinking that is not possible to install correctly the package with package control 2?
I had have to git clone and then switch to bh2st3[/quote]
Works fine with Package Control 2. It is all setup in PC 2 to download the appropriate branch. The thing is, you must delete the unpacked version from your Packages folder, or it will override your Installed Packages version (the archived sublime-package version).
It turns out there was some hard-coded setting in my Package Control.sublime-settings file that prevented this package from being installed correctly.
After cleaning /User/PAckageControl.sublime-settings most of the setttings, the package install correctly. Thanks ! and sorry for the false alarm.

No worries, I had the same thing happen to me with a couple of plugins.
I’m curious if anyone figured out a way to change the solid style highlight border. Currently, mine is this nasty lime green color; which doesnt match anything in my theme.
Also, why do I lose all coloring with the solid style highlight? Variables, operators, basically everything just turns to monochrome for everything within the brackets.
BTW: Thanks for the great plugin!
[quote=“rooc”]Hi, thank you for your nice package! One question - is there a way to change color for highlight border? with option “underline” and “outline” color applies to border and it’s fine but type “solid” doesn’t give a way to define border color
The borders of solid highlights are not accessible via the API, so there isn’t really a way to customize it. I think you can turn off the border (if I remember correctly), but then the selections just look blocky.
Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it! One more question…
Is there a way to specify minimum number of lines (or characters) threshold?
I dont want it to highlight brackets that are too close together. Its kind of distracting, and not necessary since it’s obvious where they are already. I just want it to highlight brackets that are further apart, if possible.
