# Syntax Highlighting
Integrates [zsh-syntax-highlighting][1] into Prezto.
This module must be loaded _before_ the _`prompt`_ module.
If this module is used in conjunction with the [_`history-substring-search`_][2]
module, this module must be loaded _before_ the _`history-substring-search`_
module.
Additionally, if this module is used in conjunction with the
[_`autosuggestions`_][3] module, this module must be loaded _before_ the
_`autosuggestions`_ module as well.
To elaborate, the relative order of loading the modules would be
_`syntax-highlighting`_, _`history-substring-search`_, _`autosuggestions`_ and
_`prompt`_.
## Contributors
New features and bug fixes should be submitted to the
[zsh-syntax-highlighting][1] project according to its rules and regulations.
This module will be synchronized against it.
## Settings
### Highlighting
To enable highlighting for this module only, add the following line to
_`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_:
```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:syntax-highlighting' color 'yes'
```
### Highlighters
Syntax highlighting is accomplished by pluggable [highlighters][4]. This module
only enables the _main_ highlighter by default.
To enable all highlighters, add the following to
_`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_.
```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:syntax-highlighting' highlighters \
'main' \
'brackets' \
'pattern' \
'line' \
'cursor' \
'root'
```
### Highlighting Styles
Each syntax highlighter defines styles used to highlight tokens.
To highlight, for example, builtins, commands, and functions in blue instead of
green, add the following to _`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc`_:
```sh
zstyle ':prezto:module:syntax-highlighting' styles \
'builtin' 'bg=blue' \
'command' 'bg=blue' \
'function' 'bg=blue'
```
