Problem: filetype: Not all PKL files are recognized
Solution: Detect *.pcf as pkl filetype, detect using the pkl-lsp://
protocol as pkl filetype, include PKL syntax script
(Jan Claußen)
This adds basic syntax support for the new PKL language by Apple.
What works:
- Shebang support
- Comment support
- Integers (decimal, hex, octal and binary) support
- Floating point support including exponentials
- Basic datatype support
- Unicode escape delimiters
- Escape code support
- String interpolation
- Support up to five pounds for custom delimiters
- Folding of multi-line comments and blocks
What doesn't work:
The language heavily uses parameterized type declarations, which can get
very complex. It is very hard to highlight this properly. There is
official Tree-sitter support for this. Since it is hard to pull this off
in a vim syntax file, I opted for basic support of the data types.

This directory contains Vim scripts for syntax highlighting. These scripts are not for a language, but are used by Vim itself: syntax.vim Used for the ":syntax on" command. Uses synload.vim. manual.vim Used for the ":syntax manual" command. Uses synload.vim. synload.vim Contains autocommands to load a language file when a certain file name (extension) is used. And sets up the Syntax menu for the GUI. nosyntax.vim Used for the ":syntax off" command. Undo the loading of synload.vim. The "shared" directory contains generated files and what is used by more than one syntax. A few special files: 2html.vim Converts any highlighted file to HTML (GUI only). colortest.vim Check for color names and actual color on screen. hitest.vim View the current highlight settings. whitespace.vim View Tabs and Spaces. If you want to write a syntax file, read the docs at ":help usr_44.txt". If you make a new syntax file which would be useful for others, please send it to the vim-dev mailing list <vim-dev@vim.org>. Include instructions for detecting the file type for this language, by file name extension or by checking a few lines in the file. And please write the file in a portable way, see ":help 44.12". If you have remarks about an existing file, send them to the maintainer of that file. Only when you get no response send a message to the vim-dev mailing list: <vim-dev@vim.org>. If you are the maintainer of a syntax file and make improvements, send the new version to the vim-dev mailing list: <vim-dev@vim.org> For further info see ":help syntax" in Vim.
