" Vim syntax file
" Language: Debian preseed
" Maintainer: cos <cos>, https://www.netizen.se/#contact
" Last Change: 2023 Nov 2
" Remark: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed
" quit when a syntax file was already loaded
if exists('b:current_syntax')
finish
endif
" The syntax of each line in a preseed file follows:
" <owner> <question name> <question type> <value>
" Lets sloppily refer to them as columns.
" Out in the wild, there appears to be two preseed questions which fail to
" match the syntax rules. According to preseed.debian.net, these two are:
"
" debian-installer/shell-plugin and sitesummary-client/nagios-server
"
" The first one takes the `terminal` question type (rather than `boolean`,
" `string`, `password`, `select`, `multiselect` or `note`). Attempting to ask
" about this on #debian-boot gave the classic (non-)warm welcoming from one of
" the regulars there. That person claimed to have investigated the issue and
" stated that it is correct as it is. Followed up with a polite but clear
" instruction to shut-up.
"
" The second one is described as an internal hidden debconf question, and has
" 'db_get' injected between the owner and the question name fields. That could
" either be a clever hack or a bug. No investigation has been done to figure
" out which.
" Create clusters for two of these four columns of a preseed line.
syntax cluster preseedSecond contains=preseedQuestion,preseedOwnerLC
syntax cluster preseedThird contains=preseedBooleanType,preseedStrLikeType,preseedMultiSelType,preseedNote,preseedSelectType,preseedQuestionLC
" Define the highlighting. Doesn't map perfectly to the group's intents, but
" arguably close enough?
" First column, <owner>
hi! def link preseedOwner Label
" Second column, <question name>
hi! def link preseedQuestion Identifier
" Third column, <question type>
hi! def link preseedBooleanType Type
hi! def link preseedMultiSelType Type
hi! def link preseedNote Type
hi! def link preseedSelectType Type
hi! def link preseedStrLikeType Type
" Fourth column, <value>
hi! def link preseedBooleanVal Special
hi! def link preseedMultiSelVal Special
hi! def link preseedStrLikeVal String
hi! def link preseedVal String
hi! def link preseedSelectVal Special
hi! def link preseedMultiSelSep Operator
hi! def link preseedComment Comment
" Line Continuation
hi! def link preseedOwnerLC Operator
hi! def link preseedQuestionLC Operator
hi! def link preseedBooleanLC Operator
hi! def link preseedMultiSelLC Operator
hi! def link preseedStrLikeLC Operator
" Add the syntax matching rules.

" Second, <question name>
