zsh-syntax-highlighting / highlighters / pattern
 | 
						|
------------------------------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is the `pattern` highlighter, that highlights user-defined patterns.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### How to tweak it
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To use this highlighter, associate patterns with styles in the
 | 
						|
`ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_PATTERNS` associative array, for example in `~/.zshrc`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    # To have commands starting with `rm -rf` in red:
 | 
						|
    ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_PATTERNS+=('rm -rf *' 'fg=white,bold,bg=red')
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The syntax for values is the same as the syntax of "types of highlighting" of
 | 
						|
the zsh builtin `$zle_highlight` array, which is documented in [the `zshzle(1)`
 | 
						|
manual page][zshzle-Character-Highlighting].
