+<p>In order to add a new language to Helix, you will need to follow the steps
+below.</p>
+<h2 id="language-configuration"><a class="header" href="#language-configuration">Language configuration</a></h2>
+<ol>
+<li>Add a new <code>[[language]]</code> entry in the <code>languages.toml</code> file and provide the
+necessary configuration for the new language. For more information on
+language configuration, refer to the
+<a href="../languages.html">language configuration section</a> of the documentation.
+A new language server can be added by extending the <code>[language-server]</code> table in the same file.</li>
+<li>If you are adding a new language or updating an existing language server
+configuration, run the command <code>cargo xtask docgen</code> to update the
+<a href="../lang-support.html">Language Support</a> documentation.</li>
+</ol>
+<blockquote>
+<p>๐Ÿ’ก If you are adding a new Language Server configuration, make sure to update
+the
+<a href="https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/wiki/How-to-install-the-default-language-servers">Language Server Wiki</a>
+with the installation instructions.</p>
+</blockquote>
+<h2 id="grammar-configuration"><a class="header" href="#grammar-configuration">Grammar configuration</a></h2>
+<ol>
+<li>If a tree-sitter grammar is available for the new language, add a new
+<code>[[grammar]]</code> entry to the <code>languages.toml</code> file.</li>
+<li>If you are testing the grammar locally, you can use the <code>source.path</code> key
+with an absolute path to the grammar. However, before submitting a pull
+request, make sure to switch to using <code>source.git</code>.</li>
+</ol>
+<h2 id="queries"><a class="header" href="#queries">Queries</a></h2>
+<ol>
+<li>In order to provide syntax highlighting and indentation for the new language,
+you will need to add queries.</li>
+<li>Create a new directory for the language with the path
+<code>runtime/queries/&lt;name&gt;/</code>.</li>
+<li>Refer to the
+<a href="https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/syntax-highlighting#queries">tree-sitter website</a>
+for more information on writing queries.</li>
+<li>A list of highlight captures can be found <a href="https://docs.helix-editor.com/themes.html#scopes">on the themes page</a>.</li>
+</ol>
+<blockquote>
+<p>๐Ÿ’ก In Helix, the first matching query takes precedence when evaluating
+queries, which is different from other editors such as Neovim where the last
+matching query supersedes the ones before it. See
+<a href="https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/1170#issuecomment-997294090">this issue</a>
+for an example.</p>
+</blockquote>
+<h2 id="common-issues"><a class="header" href="#common-issues">Common issues</a></h2>
+<ul>
+<li>If you encounter errors when running Helix after switching branches, you may
+need to update the tree-sitter grammars. Run the command <code>hx --grammar fetch</code>
+to fetch the grammars and <code>hx --grammar build</code> to build any out-of-date
+grammars.</li>
+<li>If a parser is causing a segfault, or you want to remove it, make sure to
+remove the compiled parser located at <code>runtime/grammars/&lt;name&gt;.so</code>.</li>
+<li>If you are attempting to add queries and Helix is unable to locate them, ensure that the environment variable <code>HELIX_RUNTIME</code> is set to the location of the <code>runtime</code> folder you're developing in.</li>

+<p>Helix uses tree-sitter to correctly indent new lines. This requires a tree-
+sitter grammar and an <code>indent.scm</code> query file placed in <code>runtime/queries/ {language}/indents.scm</code>. The indentation for a line is calculated by traversing
+the syntax tree from the lowest node at the beginning of the new line (see
+<a href="#indent-queries">Indent queries</a>). Each of these nodes contributes to the total
+indent when it is captured by the query (in what way depends on the name of
+the capture.</p>

+<ul>
+<li><code>@indent</code> (default scope <code>tail</code>):

+ignored.</li>
+<li><code>@outdent.always</code> (default scope <code>all</code>):
+Decrease the indent level by 1. The same rules as for <code>@indent.always</code> apply.</li>
+<li><code>@align</code> (default scope <code>all</code>):
+Align everything inside this node to some anchor. The anchor is given
+by the start of the node captured by <code>@anchor</code> in the same pattern.
+Every pattern with an <code>@align</code> should contain exactly one <code>@anchor</code>.
+Indent (and outdent) for nodes below (in terms of their starting line)
+the <code>@align</code> node is added to the indentation required for alignment.</li>
+<li><code>@extend</code>:
+Extend the range of this node to the end of the line and to lines that are
+indented more than the line that this node starts on. This is useful for
+languages like Python, where for the purpose of indentation some nodes (like
+functions or classes) should also contain indented lines that follow them.</li>
+<li><code>@extend.prevent-once</code>:
+Prevents the first extension of an ancestor of this node. For example, in Python
+a return expression always ends the block that it is in. Note that this only
+stops the extension of the next <code>@extend</code> capture. If multiple ancestors are
+captured, only the extension of the innermost one is prevented. All other
+ancestors are unaffected (regardless of whether the innermost ancestor would
+actually have been extended).</li>

+would just continue on the same level. And an <code>@outdent</code> would not help us here
+either, since it would cause everything in the parentheses to become outdented
+as well.</p>
+<p>To help, we need to signal an end to the extension. We can do this with
+<code>@extend.prevent-once</code>.</p>

+<p>As mentioned before, normally if there is more than one <code>@indent</code> or <code>@outdent</code>
+capture on the same line, they are combined.</p>
+<p>Sometimes, there are cases when you may want to ensure that every indent capture
+is additive, regardless of how many occur on the same line. Consider this
+example in YAML.</p>
+<pre><code class="language-yaml"> - foo: bar

+ garply: waldo
+ - quux:
+ bar: baz
+ xyzzy: thud
+ fred: plugh
+</code></pre>
+<p>In YAML, you often have lists of maps. In these cases, the syntax is such that
+the list element and the map both start on the same line. But we really do want
+to start an indentation for each of these so that subsequent keys in the map
+hang over the list and align properly. This is where <code>@indent.always</code> helps.</p>
+<pre><code class="language-scm">((block_sequence_item) @item @indent.always @extend
+ (#not-one-line? @item))
+
+((block_mapping_pair
+ key: (_) @key
+ value: (_) @val
+ (#not-same-line? @key @val)
+ ) @indent.always @extend
+)
+</code></pre>
+<h2 id="predicates"><a class="header" href="#predicates">Predicates</a></h2>
+<p>In some cases, an S-expression cannot express exactly what pattern should be matched.
+For that, tree-sitter allows for predicates to appear anywhere within a pattern,
+similar to how <code>#set!</code> declarations work:</p>
+<pre><code class="language-scm">(some_kind
+ (child_kind) @indent
+ (#predicate? arg1 arg2 ...)
+)
+</code></pre>
+<p>The number of arguments depends on the predicate that's used.
+Each argument is either a capture (<code>@name</code>) or a string (<code>&quot;some string&quot;</code>).
+The following predicates are supported by tree-sitter:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p><code>#eq?</code>/<code>#not-eq?</code>:
+The first argument (a capture) must/must not be equal to the second argument
+(a capture or a string).</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>#match?</code>/<code>#not-match?</code>:
+The first argument (a capture) must/must not match the regex given in the
+second argument (a string).</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Additionally, we support some custom predicates for indent queries:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p><code>#not-kind-eq?</code>:
+The kind of the first argument (a capture) must not be equal to the second
+argument (a string).</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>#same-line?</code>/<code>#not-same-line?</code>:
+The captures given by the 2 arguments must/must not start on the same line.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>#one-line?</code>/<code>#not-one-line?</code>:
+The captures given by the fist argument must/must span a total of one line.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<h3 id="scopes"><a class="header" href="#scopes">Scopes</a></h3>
+<p>Added indents don't always apply to the whole node. For example, in most
+cases when a node should be indented, we actually only want everything
+except for its first line to be indented. For this, there are several
+scopes (more scopes may be added in the future if required):</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>tail</code>:
+This scope applies to everything except for the first line of the
+captured node.</li>
+<li><code>all</code>:
+This scope applies to the whole captured node. This is only different from
+<code>tail</code> when the captured node is the first node on its line.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>For example, imagine we have the following function</p>
+<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust"><span class="boring">#![allow(unused)]
+</span><span class="boring">fn main() {
+</span>fn aha() { // โ†โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ•ฎ

+ // scope: &quot;all&quot;
+<span class="boring">}</span></code></pre></pre>
+<p>We can write the following query with the <code>#set!</code> declaration:</p>
+<pre><code class="language-scm">((block) @indent
+ (#set! &quot;scope&quot; &quot;tail&quot;))
+(&quot;}&quot; @outdent
+ (#set! &quot;scope&quot; &quot;all&quot;))
+</code></pre>
+<p>As we can see, the &quot;tail&quot; scope covers the node, except for the first line.
+Everything up to and including the closing brace gets an indent level of 1.
+Then, on the closing brace, we encounter an outdent with a scope of &quot;all&quot;, which
+means the first line is included, and the indent level is cancelled out on this
+line. (Note these scopes are the defaults for <code>@indent</code> and <code>@outdent</code>โ€”they are
+written explicitly for demonstration.)</p>

+<p>Writing language injection queries allows one to highlight a specific node as a different language.
+In addition to the <a href="http://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/syntax-highlighting#language-injection">standard</a> language injection options used by tree-sitter, there
+are a few Helix specific extensions that allow for more control.</p>
+<p>And example of a simple query that would highlight all strings as bash in Nix:</p>
+<pre><code class="language-scm">((string_expression (string_fragment) @injection.content)
+ (#set! injection.language &quot;bash&quot;))
+</code></pre>
+<h2 id="capture-types"><a class="header" href="#capture-types">Capture Types</a></h2>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p><code>@injection.language</code> (standard):
+The captured node may contain the language name used to highlight the node captured by
+<code>@injection.content</code>.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>@injection.content</code> (standard):
+Marks the content to be highlighted as the language captured with <code>@injection.language</code> <em>et al</em>.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>@injection.filename</code> (extension):
+The captured node may contain a filename with a file-extension known to Helix,
+highlighting <code>@injection.content</code> as that language. This uses the language extensions defined in
+both the default languages.toml distributed with Helix, as well as user defined languages.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>@injection.shebang</code> (extension):
+The captured node may contain a shebang used to choose a language to highlight as. This also uses
+the shebangs defined in the default and user <code>languages.toml</code>.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<h2 id="settings"><a class="header" href="#settings">Settings</a></h2>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p><code>injection.combined</code> (standard):
+Indicates that all the matching nodes in the tree should have their content parsed as one
+nested document.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>injection.language</code> (standard):
+Forces the captured content to be highlighted as the given language</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>injection.include-children</code> (standard):
+Indicates that the content nodeโ€™s entire text should be re-parsed, including the text of its child
+nodes. By default, child nodesโ€™ text will be excluded from the injected document.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>injection.include-unnamed-children</code> (extension):
+Same as <code>injection.include-children</code> but only for unnamed child nodes.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<h2 id="predicates"><a class="header" href="#predicates">Predicates</a></h2>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p><code>#eq?</code> (standard):
+The first argument (a capture) must be equal to the second argument
+(a capture or a string).</p>

+<li>
+<p><code>#match?</code> (standard):
+The first argument (a capture) must match the regex given in the

+<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">[&quot;(&quot; &quot;)&quot; &quot;[&quot; &quot;]&quot;] @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(&quot;(&quot;, repeat($.argument), &quot;)&quot;),
+ // ...
+}
+</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">[&quot;&lt;&quot; &quot;&gt;&quot; &quot;&lt;/&quot;] @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>

+<p>Helix supports textobjects that are language specific, such as functions, classes, etc.
+These textobjects require an accompanying tree-sitter grammar and a <code>textobjects.scm</code> query file
+to work properly. Tree-sitter allows us to query the source code syntax tree
+and capture specific parts of it. The queries are written in a lisp dialect.
+More information on how to write queries can be found in the <a href="https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/using-parsers#query-syntax">official tree-sitter
+documentation</a>.</p>
+<p>Query files should be placed in <code>runtime/queries/{language}/textobjects.scm</code>
+when contributing to Helix. Note that to test the query files locally you should put
+them under your local runtime directory (<code>~/.config/helix/runtime</code> on Linux
+for example).</p>

+<p>Tree-sitter based navigation in Helix is done using captures in the
+following order:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>object.movement</code></li>
+<li><code>object.around</code></li>
+<li><code>object.inside</code></li>
+</ul>
+<p>For example if a <code>function.around</code> capture has been already defined for a language
+in its <code>textobjects.scm</code> file, function navigation should also work automatically.
+<code>function.movement</code> should be defined only if the node captured by <code>function.around</code>
+doesn't make sense in a navigation context.</p>
