Defining a color variable in vim?

It's not possible with the built in syntax. However, it can be done if the you make your own syntax: let UglyColor = '#40ffff' let Greenish = '#00dd00' let MyStyle = 'bold' exe 'hi Keyword gui=' . MyStyle .' guifg=' .

UglyColor exe 'hi Comment guifg=' . Greenish You could then take this further by creating a dictionary: let UglyColor = '#40ffff' let Greenish = '#00dd00' let ColourAssignment = {} let ColourAssignment'Keyword' = {"GUIFG": UglyColor, "GUI": "Bold"} let ColourAssignment'Comment' = {"GUIFG": Greenish} And then process it with something like this: for key in keys(ColourAssignment) let s:colours = ColourAssignmentkey if has_key(s:colours, 'GUI') let gui = s:colours'GUI' else let gui='NONE' endif if has_key(s:colours, 'GUIFG') let guifg = s:colours'GUIFG' else let guifg='NONE' endif if has_key(s:colours, 'GUIBG') let guibg = s:colours'GUIBG' else let guibg='NONE' endif if key =~ '^\k*$' execute "hi ".key." term=".term. " cterm=".cterm.

" gui=".gui." ctermfg=".ctermfg. " guifg=".guifg. " ctermbg=".ctermbg." guibg=".guibg.

" guisp=". Guisp endif This is how my Bandit colour scheme works (with a bit more logic in there for auto-generating cterm colours, light background colours and a syntax file so that the colour scheme self-highlights). Feel free to have a look at that one and steal the functions and format for your own colour scheme.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
