Unlike a regex grammar, this plugin tokenizes with the **real RON parser**([mbolli/php-ron](https://github.com/mbolli/php-ron)), so highlighting is byte-exact and context-aware: keys are distinguished from values even though RON has no `:`/`=` separator, and repeated-quote strings (`''''' `, `""a "quoted" phrase""`) are spanned correctly. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require mbolli/tempest-highlight-ron ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` use Tempest\Highlight\Highlighter; use Mbolli\TempestHighlightRon\RonLanguage; $highlighter = new Highlighter(); $highlighter->addLanguage(new RonLanguage()); echo $highlighter->parse($ron, 'ron'); ``` Registering the language as `ron` also highlights fenced ````ron` blocks in markdown rendered through tempest/highlight. What gets highlighted --------------------- [](#what-gets-highlighted) For example RON like: ``` users [ {id 100 name Ada roles [admin writer] active true} ] settings {retry {max 3} tags [llm json]} ``` RON constructRoletempest tokenCSS class`{` `}` `[` `]`punctuation`PROPERTY``hl-property`object keys (bare/quoted, elided or braced)key`KEYWORD``hl-keyword`string values (bare, quoted, repeated-quote)string`VALUE``hl-value`numbers (`100`, `-12.5e+2`)number`NUMBER``hl-number``true` / `false` / `null`literal`LITERAL``hl-literal`Because classification comes from the parser, `'true'` (quoted) is a string, a key named `true` is a key, and a bare `123` in key position stays a key — none are mis-coloured. How it works ------------ [](#how-it-works) `RonLanguage` adds five `Pattern`s on top of tempest's base language. Each delegates to `Mbolli\Ron\Ron::tokenize()`, which returns role-aware source spans; the spans are handed to tempest in `PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE` shape. Tokenization is memoized per content string, so the source is lexed once per parse regardless of how many patterns run. `Ron::tokenize()` is lenient — malformed RON never throws, it just highlights as much as it can classify.
