vim-lua

Improved Lua 5.3 syntax and indentation support for Vim.

Highlighting: stock Vim (left) vs. this plugin (right): (Color scheme: solarized dark; Font: Anonymous Pro)

Configuration

vim-lua supports a few options. All are boolean and off by default: set an option to 1 with let g:lua_syntax_someoption = 1 to enable it (setting to 0 for disabling is currently not supported -- just don't set the option at all to keep it disabled).

• g:lua_syntax_nosymboloperator disables highlighting of the Lua symbol operators (that is, all operators except for the keyword operators and and or).
• g:lua_syntax_nofold disables code folding. If this option is set, you can selectively reenable some folds with g:lua_syntax_fold_<group> where <group> can be table, comment, function, control or string. You can also have even more fine-grained control by enabling specific syntax regions instead of groups. Look in the source code for the second argument of call s:FoldableRegion for all options, but note that the names are subject to change in later versions.
• g:lua_syntax_nostdlib disables highlighing of all standard library names like, io, print and even require, error etc. If that is too much you can use g:lua_syntax_noextendedstdlib instead to keep _G, module, require, assert, error, pcall and xpcall highlighted.
