-<p>Helix uses <code>rainbows.scm</code> tree-sitter query files to provide rainbow bracket
-functionality.</p>
-<p>Tree-sitter queries are documented in the tree-sitter online documentation.
-If you're writing queries for the first time, be sure to check out the section
-on <a href="https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/syntax-highlighting#highlights">syntax highlighting queries</a> and on <a href="https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/using-parsers#pattern-matching-with-queries">query syntax</a>.</p>
-<p>Rainbow queries have two captures: <code>@rainbow.scope</code> and <code>@rainbow.bracket</code>.
-<code>@rainbow.scope</code> should capture any node that increases the nesting level
-while <code>@rainbow.bracket</code> should capture any bracket nodes. Put another way:
-<code>@rainbow.scope</code> switches to the next rainbow color for all nodes in the tree
-under it while <code>@rainbow.bracket</code> paints captured nodes with the current
-rainbow color.</p>
-<p>For an example, let's add rainbow queries for the tree-sitter query (TSQ)
-language itself. These queries will go into a
-<code>runtime/queries/tsq/rainbows.scm</code> file in the repository root.</p>
-<p>First we'll add the <code>@rainbow.bracket</code> captures. TSQ only has parentheses and
-square brackets:</p>
-<pre><code class="language-tsq">["(" ")" "[" "]"] @rainbow.bracket
-</code></pre>
-<p>The ordering of the nodes within the alternation (square brackets) is not
-taken into consideration.</p>
-<blockquote>
-<p>Note: Why are these nodes quoted? Most syntax highlights capture text
-surrounded by parentheses. These are <em>named nodes</em> and correspond to the
-names of rules in the grammar. Brackets are usually written in tree-sitter
-grammars as literal strings, for example:</p>
-<pre><code class="language-js">{
- // ...
- arguments: seq("(", repeat($.argument), ")"),
- // ...
-}
-</code></pre>
-<p>Nodes written as literal strings in tree-sitter grammars may be captured
-in queries with those same literal strings.</p>
-</blockquote>
-<p>Then we'll add <code>@rainbow.scope</code> captures. The easiest way to do this is to
-view the <code>grammar.js</code> file in the tree-sitter grammar's repository. For TSQ,
-that file is <a href="https://github.com/the-mikedavis/tree-sitter-tsq/blob/48b5e9f82ae0a4727201626f33a17f69f8e0ff86/grammar.js">here</a>. As we scroll down the <code>grammar.js</code>, we
-see that the <code>(alternation)</code>, (L36) <code>(group)</code> (L57), <code>(named_node)</code> (L59),
-<code>(predicate)</code> (L87) and <code>(wildcard_node)</code> (L97) nodes all contain literal
-parentheses or square brackets in their definitions. These nodes are all
-direct parents of brackets and happen to also be the nodes we want to change
-to the next rainbow color, so we capture them as <code>@rainbow.scope</code>.</p>
-<pre><code class="language-tsq">[
- (group)
- (named_node)
- (wildcard_node)
- (predicate)
- (alternation)
-] @rainbow.scope
-</code></pre>
-<p>This strategy works as a rule of thumb for most programming and configuration
-languages. Markup languages can be trickier and may take additional
-experimentation to find the correct nodes to use for scopes and brackets.</p>
-<p>The <code>:tree-sitter-subtree</code> command shows the syntax tree under the primary
-selection in S-expression format and can be a useful tool for determining how
-to write a query.</p>
-<h3 id="properties"><a class="header" href="#properties">Properties</a></h3>
-<p>The <code>rainbow.include-children</code> property may be applied to <code>@rainbow.scope</code>
-captures. By default, all <code>@rainbow.bracket</code> captures must be direct descendant
-of a node captured with <code>@rainbow.scope</code> in a syntax tree in order to be
-highlighted. The <code>rainbow.include-children</code> property disables that check and
-allows <code>@rainbow.bracket</code> captures to be highlighted if they are direct or
-indirect descendants of some node captured with <code>@rainbow.scope</code>.</p>
-<p>For example, this property is used in the HTML rainbow queries.</p>
-<p>For a document like <code>&lt;a&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;</code>, the syntax tree is:</p>
-<pre><code class="language-tsq">(element ; &lt;a&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;
- (start_tag ; &lt;a&gt;
- (tag_name)) ; a
- (text) ; link
- (end_tag ; &lt;/a&gt;
- (tag_name))) ; a
-</code></pre>
-<p>If we want to highlight the <code>&lt;</code>, <code>&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;/</code> nodes with rainbow colors, we
-capture them as <code>@rainbow.bracket</code>:</p>
-<pre><code class="language-tsq">["&lt;" "&gt;" "&lt;/"] @rainbow.bracket
-</code></pre>
-<p>And we capture <code>(element)</code> as <code>@rainbow.scope</code> because <code>(element)</code> nodes nest
-within each other: they increment the nesting level and switch to the next
-color in the rainbow.</p>
-<pre><code class="language-tsq">(element) @rainbow.scope
-</code></pre>
-<p>But this combination of <code>@rainbow.scope</code> and <code>@rainbow.bracket</code> will not
-highlight any nodes. <code>&lt;</code>, <code>&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;/</code> are children of the <code>(start_tag)</code> and
-<code>(end_tag)</code> nodes. We can't capture <code>(start_tag)</code> and <code>(end_tag)</code> as
-<code>@rainbow.scope</code> because they don't nest other elements. We can fix this case
-by removing the requirement that <code>&lt;</code>, <code>&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;/</code> are direct descendants of
-<code>(element)</code> using the <code>rainbow.include-children</code> property.</p>
-<pre><code class="language-tsq">((element) @rainbow.scope
- (#set! rainbow.include-children))
-</code></pre>
-<p>With this property set, <code>&lt;</code>, <code>&gt;</code>, and <code>&lt;/</code> will highlight with rainbow colors
-even though they aren't direct descendents of the <code>(element)</code> node.</p>
-<p><code>rainbow.include-children</code> is not necessary for the vast majority of programming
-languages. It is only necessary when the node that increments the nesting level
-(changes rainbow color) is not the direct parent of the bracket node.</p>
