        git clone git://github.com/jimmijj/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git

* Source the script **at the end** of `~/.zshrc`:

        source /path/to/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh

* Source `~/.zshrc`  to take changes into account:

        source ~/.zshrc

How to tweak
------------

Syntax highlighting is done by pluggable highlighter scripts, see the [highlighters directory](highlighters)
for documentation and configuration settings.
Big refactoring. * Don't override user defined styles * Better modularisation of highlighters * Allow to define which highlighters are activated * Allow to define the order in which they are defined * Minor performance optimizations * Fixed some variables leak * Improve documentation * Brackets highlighter: use ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES instead of a specific array 2011-06-13 04:57:14 +08:00			`zsh-syntax-highlighting`
