-[[colors_extended]]
-==== Extended colors
-
-WeeChat dynamically allocates color pairs when colors are used on screen (to
-display buffers and bars).
-
-In addition to basic colors, you can use a color number between 1 and the limit
-of your terminal.
-
-Use command `/color` to see current colors and limits. With kbd:[Alt+c] you can
-temporarily switch to terminal colors to choose a color.
-
-For example if you want to display time in orange in buffer, do:
-
-----
-/set weechat.color.chat_time 214
-----
-
-Or if you want a very dark green background for status bar:
-
-----
-/set weechat.bar.status.color_bg 22
-----
-
-[[colors_aliases]]
-==== Aliases
-
-You can add color aliases with command `/color alias` and then use this alias
-in any color option.
-
-For example:
-
-----
-/color alias 214 orange
-/set weechat.color.chat_delimiters orange
-----
-
-[[colors_attributes]]
-==== Attributes
-
-It is possible to use some attributes for colors. One or more attributes can be
-added before color name or number:
-
-* `+*+`: bold text
-* `+!+`: reverse video
-* `+/+`: italic
-* `+_+`: underlined text
-* `+|+`: keep attributes: do not reset bold/reverse/italic/underlined when
- changing color
-
-For example if you want self nick as white underlined, do:
-
-----
-/set weechat.color.chat_nick_self _white
-----
-
-Or if you want time in status bar as orange underlined with bold:
-
-----
-/set weechat.color.status_time *_214
-----
-
-To use an attribute with default terminal color (-1), you must use a number
-greater than last terminal color, for example max color in WeeChat: 99999.
-
-Example of bold with terminal foreground color:
-
-----
-/set weechat.color.status_time *99999

-[[bars]]
-=== Bars
-
-A _bar_ is an area beside the chat that can contain any type of text.
-
-The bar options can be set with options `weechat.bar.name.option` where `name`
-is the name of the bar and `option` the option for this bar.

-List of bar options:
-
-[width="100%",cols="2m,2,10",options="header"]
-|===
-| Option | Values | Description
-
-| type | `root`, `window` |
- A bar with type `root` is displayed exactly one time on screen, outside all
- windows. The default bar _buflist_ has type `root`. +
- A bar with type `window` is displayed in each window, for example if you
- split one time the screen (with `/window splith` or `/window splitv`), you
- will have one bar in each window. The default bars _title_, _status_,
- _input_ and _nicklist_ have type `window`.
-
-| position | `top`, `bottom`, `left`, `right` |
- Position of the bar: above/below chat, on the left/right.
-
-| priority | integer ≥ 0 |
- Priority for display of bar: this is used for ordering the bars on screen when
- many bars have same type and position. +
- The bars are displayed from the edge of the screen to the center. A higher
- priority will display bar at the beginning, so closer to the edge. +
- Example: _input_ bar has priority 1000, so it is displayed before the _status_
- bar, which has priority 500.
-
-| size | integer ≥ 0 |
- The size of the bar: number of columns for position left/right, number
- of lines for position top/bottom. A size of `0` means automatic, so the size
- will be computed according to content displayed in bar.
-
-| size_max | integer ≥ 0 |
- The maximum size for a bar, `0` = no limit (this option is used only if
- `size` = `0`).
-
-| color_bg | color |
- The default background color for the bar.
-
-| color_fg | color |
- The default text color for the bar.
-
-| color_delim | color |
- The color for delimiters in bar.
-
-| hidden | `on`, `off` |
- When option is `on`, the bar is hidden. +
- Note: instead of changing this option, the command `/bar` is preferred, for
- example: `/bar toggle nicklist` (see command <<command_weechat_bar,/bar>>).
-
-| separator | `on`, `off` |
- When option is `on`, a separator (line) is displayed between this bar and
- other bars (or chat).
-
-| items | string |
- A list of _items_ (see <<bar_items,items>> for more info).
-
-| filling_left_right | `+horizontal+`, `+vertical+`, `+columns_horizontal+`, `+columns_vertical+` |
- Type of filling for a bar which has position `left` or `right` (see
- <<bar_filling,filling>> for more info).

-| conditions | string |
- The conditions to display the bar (see <<bar_conditions,conditions>> for more
- info).
-|===
-
-[[bar_items]]
-==== Items
-
-The option _items_ is a string with a list of bar items, separated by a comma
-(space between items on screen) or `+++` (glued items).
-
-The list of bar items is displayed with command `/bar listitems`.
-
-Before or after item name, you can use chars (that are not alphanumeric, `+-+`
-or `+_+`). They will be displayed before/after item with the delimiters color
-defined in bar (option _color_delim_).
-
-Example of bar with items "[time],buffer_number+:+buffer_plugin+.+buffer_name":

-....
-
-A special syntax can be used to force the buffer used when displaying the bar
-item: "@buffer:item" (where "buffer" is the full name of buffer and "item" is
-the name of a bar item).
-
-This is useful in root bars, to display item for a specific buffer which is
-not displayed in the current window (or even not displayed at all).
-
-Example: nicklist of bitlbee in a root bar (if the bar is called
-_bitlist_ and if bitlbee server is called _bitlbee_):
-
-----
-/set weechat.bar.bitlist.items "@irc.bitlbee.&bitlbee:buffer_nicklist"
-----
-
-[[bar_filling]]
-==== Filling
-
-There are four types of filling:
-
-* `+horizontal+`: the items are displayed horizontally, from left to right. If
- there are new lines in items, a space is used to separate lines.
-* `+vertical+`: the items are displayed from top to bottom. If there are new
- lines in items, a new line is used to separate lines.
-* `+columns_horizontal+`: items are displayed using columns, where text is
- aligned on the left. The first item is on top left, the second is on same
- line, on the right.
-* `+columns_vertical+`: items are displayed using columns, where text is aligned
- on the left. The first item is on top left, the second is one line below.
-
-Default bars _title_, _status_ and _input_ have _horizontal_ filling, and
-default bar _nicklist_ has _vertical_ filling.

-[[bar_conditions]]
-==== Conditions
-
-The option _conditions_ is a string which is evaluated to know if the bar
-must be displayed or not.
-
-The string can be:
-
-* _active_: the window must be active
-* _inactive_: the window must be inactive
-* _nicklist_: the buffer displayed in window must have a nicklist
-* an expression: it is evaluated as boolean (see command
- <<command_weechat_eval,/eval>>)
-
-For the expression, following variables are available:
-
-* `+${active}+`: true if window is active
-* `+${inactive}+`: true if window is inactive
-* `+${nicklist}+`: true if buffer displayed in window has a nicklist
-
-Following pointers are available:
-
-* `+${window}+`: the window where condition is evaluated
-* `+${buffer}+`: the buffer of window where condition is evaluated
-
-Example to display nicklist bar in all buffers with a nicklist, and only if
-width of terminal is > 100:
-
-----
-/set weechat.bar.nicklist.conditions "${nicklist} && ${info:term_width} > 100"
-----
-
-Same condition, but always display nicklist on buffer _&bitlbee_
-(even if terminal is small):
-
-----
-/set weechat.bar.nicklist.conditions "${nicklist} && (${info:term_width} > 100 || ${buffer.full_name} == irc.bitlbee.&bitlbee)"

-* _message_: message from a user
-* _private_: message in a private buffer
-* _highlight_: message with highlight
-
-Each buffer has a notify level, which is used to decide what messages will add
-buffer in hotlist.
-
-The default notify level can be set using option
-<<option_weechat.look.buffer_notify_default,weechat.look.buffer_notify_default>>,
-default is _all_.

-| highlight | _highlight_ + _private_
-| message | _highlight_ + _private_ + _message_
-| all | _highlight_ + _private_ + _message_ + _low_
-|===
-
-Notify level can be defined for a set of buffers, for example all buffers of
-irc server "libera":
-
-----
-/set weechat.notify.irc.libera message
-----
-
-Set notify level _highlight_ on channel "#weechat" only:

-----
-/buffer notify highlight
-----
-
-[[max_hotlist_level_nicks]]
-==== Max hotlist level for nicks
-
-It is possible to set max hotlist level for some nicks, per buffer, or per group
-of buffers (like IRC servers).
-
-The buffer property "hotlist_max_level_nicks" can be set with a list of nicks
-and for each nick the max hotlist level to trigger, possible levels are:
-
-* -1: no hotlist changes for nick
-* 0: low priority (like join/part messages)
-* 1: message
-* 2: private message
-* 3: highlight (in fact useless, since it's already the default max for all messages)
-
-For example to disable highlights from "joe" and "mike" on current buffer:
-
-----
-/buffer set hotlist_max_level_nicks_add joe:2,mike:2
-----
-
-[NOTE]
-The buffer property "hotlist_max_level_nicks" is not saved in configuration. +

-[[highlights]]
-=== Highlights
-
-[[highlights_words]]
-==== Add words to highlight
-
-By default, WeeChat highlights messages from other users containing your nick,
-therefore the highlight depends on the buffer (the nick can be different from
-one buffer to another).
-
-You can add other words to highlight with the option
-<<option_weechat.look.highlight,weechat.look.highlight>>, for example to
-highlight your nick and "word1", "word2" and all words beginning with "test":
-
-----
-/set weechat.look.highlight word1,word2,test*
-----
-
-If you need a more specific rule for the word, you can use regular expressions
-with the option <<option_weechat.look.highlight_regex,weechat.look.highlight_regex>>,
-for example to highlight words "flashcode", "flashcöde" and "flashy":
-
-----
-/set weechat.look.highlight_regex flashc[oö]de|flashy
-----
-
-The delimiters around words to highlight can be customized with the option
-<<option_weechat.look.word_chars_highlight,weechat.look.word_chars_highlight>>.
-
-[[highlights_tags]]
-==== Add tags to highlight
-
-Lines displayed can contain "tags", which give some info about the origin of
-message or the message itself. +
-You can display tags with the command `/debug tags` (same command to hide them).
-
-You can add specific tags to highlight with the option
-<<option_weechat.look.highlight_tags,weechat.look.highlight_tags>>.
-Tags are separated by commas, and multiple tags can be separated by `+++` to do
-a logical "and" between them.
-
-For example to highlight all messages from nick "FlashCode" and all notices
-from nicks beginning with "toto":
-
-----
-/set weechat.look.highlight_tags "nick_flashcode,irc_notice+nick_toto*"
-----
-
-[[highlights_regex_buffer]]

+==== Basic colors
+
+Basic colors in WeeChat are:
+
+[width="75%",cols="1m,4",options="header"]
+|===
+| Name | Color
+| default | Default terminal color (transparent for background)
+| black | Black
+| darkgray | Dark gray

+| white | White
+|===
+
+[[colors_extended]]
+==== Extended colors
+
+WeeChat dynamically allocates color pairs when colors are used on screen (to
+display buffers and bars).
+
+In addition to basic colors, you can use a color number between 1 and the limit
+of your terminal.
+
+Use command `/color` to see current colors and limits. With kbd:[Alt+c] you can
+temporarily switch to terminal colors to choose a color.
+
+For example if you want to display time in orange in buffer, do:
+
+----
+/set weechat.color.chat_time 214
+----
+
+Or if you want a very dark green background for status bar:
+
+----
+/set weechat.bar.status.color_bg 22
+----
+
+[[colors_aliases]]
+==== Aliases
+
+You can add color aliases with command `/color alias` and then use this alias
+in any color option.
+
+For example:
+
+----
+/color alias 214 orange
+/set weechat.color.chat_delimiters orange
+----
+
+[[colors_attributes]]
+==== Attributes
+
+It is possible to use some attributes for colors. One or more attributes can be
+added before color name or number:
+
+* `+*+`: bold text
+* `+!+`: reverse video
+* `+/+`: italic
+* `+_+`: underlined text
+* `+|+`: keep attributes: do not reset bold/reverse/italic/underlined when
+ changing color
+
+For example if you want self nick as white underlined, do:
+
+----
+/set weechat.color.chat_nick_self _white
+----
+
+Or if you want time in status bar as orange underlined with bold:
+
+----
+/set weechat.color.status_time *_214
+----
+
+To use an attribute with default terminal color (-1), you must use a number
+greater than last terminal color, for example max color in WeeChat: 99999.
+
+Example of bold with terminal foreground color:
+
+----
+/set weechat.color.status_time *99999
+----
+
+[[notify_levels]]
+=== Notify levels
+
+[[setup_notify_levels]]
+==== Setup notify levels
+
+Four levels are possible in messages displayed in buffers, from lower to higher:
+
+* _low_: message with low importance (for example irc join/part/quit)
+* _message_: message from a user
+* _private_: message in a private buffer
+* _highlight_: message with highlight
+
+Each buffer has a notify level, which is used to decide what messages will add
+buffer in hotlist.
+
+The default notify level can be set using option
+<<option_weechat.look.buffer_notify_default,weechat.look.buffer_notify_default>>,
+default is _all_.
+
+[width="75%",cols="2m,7",options="header"]
+|===
+| Notify level | Level of messages added to hotlist
+| none | (none)
+| highlight | _highlight_ + _private_
+| message | _highlight_ + _private_ + _message_
+| all | _highlight_ + _private_ + _message_ + _low_
+|===
+
+Notify level can be defined for a set of buffers, for example all buffers of
+irc server "libera":
+
+----
+/set weechat.notify.irc.libera message
+----
+
+Set notify level _highlight_ on channel "#weechat" only:
+
+----
+/set weechat.notify.irc.libera.#weechat highlight
+----
+
+The notify level for a buffer can be set with command `/buffer`:
+
+----
+/buffer notify highlight
+----
+
+[[max_hotlist_level_nicks]]
+==== Max hotlist level for nicks
+
+It is possible to set max hotlist level for some nicks, per buffer, or per group
+of buffers (like IRC servers).
+
+The buffer property "hotlist_max_level_nicks" can be set with a list of nicks
+and for each nick the max hotlist level to trigger, possible levels are:
+
+* -1: no hotlist changes for nick
+* 0: low priority (like join/part messages)
+* 1: message
+* 2: private message
+* 3: highlight (in fact useless, since it's already the default max for all messages)
+
+For example to disable highlights from "joe" and "mike" on current buffer:
+
+----
+/buffer set hotlist_max_level_nicks_add joe:2,mike:2
+----
+
+[NOTE]
+The buffer property "hotlist_max_level_nicks" is not saved in configuration. +
+You can easily save it with the script _buffer_autoset.py_: you can install it
+with `+/script install buffer_autoset.py+` and get help with
+`+/help buffer_autoset+`.
+
+[[highlights]]
+=== Highlights
+
+[[highlights_words]]
+==== Add words to highlight
+
+By default, WeeChat highlights messages from other users containing your nick,
+therefore the highlight depends on the buffer (the nick can be different from
+one buffer to another).
+
+You can add other words to highlight with the option
+<<option_weechat.look.highlight,weechat.look.highlight>>, for example to
+highlight your nick and "word1", "word2" and all words beginning with "test":
+
+----
+/set weechat.look.highlight word1,word2,test*
+----
+
+If you need a more specific rule for the word, you can use regular expressions
+with the option <<option_weechat.look.highlight_regex,weechat.look.highlight_regex>>,
+for example to highlight words "flashcode", "flashcöde" and "flashy":
+
+----
+/set weechat.look.highlight_regex flashc[oö]de|flashy
+----
+
+The delimiters around words to highlight can be customized with the option
+<<option_weechat.look.word_chars_highlight,weechat.look.word_chars_highlight>>.
+
+[[highlights_tags]]
+==== Add tags to highlight
+
+Lines displayed can contain "tags", which give some info about the origin of
+message or the message itself. +
+You can display tags with the command `/debug tags` (same command to hide them).
+
+You can add specific tags to highlight with the option
+<<option_weechat.look.highlight_tags,weechat.look.highlight_tags>>.
+Tags are separated by commas, and multiple tags can be separated by `+++` to do
+a logical "and" between them.
+
+For example to highlight all messages from nick "FlashCode" and all notices
+from nicks beginning with "toto":
+
+----
+/set weechat.look.highlight_tags "nick_flashcode,irc_notice+nick_toto*"
+----
+
+[[highlights_regex_buffer]]
+==== Set extra highlights on buffer
+
+You can force highlight using a regular expression with the buffer property
+"highlight_regex".
+
+For example to force the highlight on all messages in the current buffer:
+
+----
+/buffer set highlight_regex .*
+----
+
+[NOTE]
+The buffer property "highlight_regex" is not saved in configuration. +
+You can easily save it with the script _buffer_autoset.py_: you can install it
+with `+/script install buffer_autoset.py+` and get help with
+`+/help buffer_autoset+`.

+[[bars]]
+=== Bars
+
+A _bar_ is an area beside the chat that can contain any type of text.
+
+The bar options can be set with options `weechat.bar.name.option` where `name`
+is the name of the bar and `option` the option for this bar.
+
+List of bar options:
+
+[width="100%",cols="2m,2,10",options="header"]
+|===
+| Option | Values | Description
+
+| type | `root`, `window` |
+ A bar with type `root` is displayed exactly one time on screen, outside all
+ windows. The default bar _buflist_ has type `root`. +
+ A bar with type `window` is displayed in each window, for example if you
+ split one time the screen (with `/window splith` or `/window splitv`), you
+ will have one bar in each window. The default bars _title_, _status_,
+ _input_ and _nicklist_ have type `window`.
+
+| position | `top`, `bottom`, `left`, `right` |
+ Position of the bar: above/below chat, on the left/right.
+
+| priority | integer ≥ 0 |
+ Priority for display of bar: this is used for ordering the bars on screen when
+ many bars have same type and position. +
+ The bars are displayed from the edge of the screen to the center. A higher
+ priority will display bar at the beginning, so closer to the edge. +
+ Example: _input_ bar has priority 1000, so it is displayed before the _status_
+ bar, which has priority 500.
+
+| size | integer ≥ 0 |
+ The size of the bar: number of columns for position left/right, number
+ of lines for position top/bottom. A size of `0` means automatic, so the size
+ will be computed according to content displayed in bar.
+
+| size_max | integer ≥ 0 |
+ The maximum size for a bar, `0` = no limit (this option is used only if
+ `size` = `0`).
+
+| color_bg | color |
+ The default background color for the bar.
+
+| color_fg | color |
+ The default text color for the bar.
+
+| color_delim | color |
+ The color for delimiters in bar.
+
+| hidden | `on`, `off` |
+ When option is `on`, the bar is hidden. +
+ Note: instead of changing this option, the command `/bar` is preferred, for
+ example: `/bar toggle nicklist` (see command <<command_weechat_bar,/bar>>).
+
+| separator | `on`, `off` |
+ When option is `on`, a separator (line) is displayed between this bar and
+ other bars (or chat).
+
+| items | string |
+ A list of _items_ (see <<bar_items,items>> for more info).
+
+| filling_left_right | `+horizontal+`, `+vertical+`, `+columns_horizontal+`, `+columns_vertical+` |
+ Type of filling for a bar which has position `left` or `right` (see
+ <<bar_filling,filling>> for more info).
+
+| filling_top_bottom | `+horizontal+`, `+vertical+`, `+columns_horizontal+`, `+columns_vertical+` |
+ Type of filling for a bar which has position `top` or `bottom` (see
+ <<bar_filling,filling>> for more info).
+
+| conditions | string |
+ The conditions to display the bar (see <<bar_conditions,conditions>> for more
+ info).
+|===
+
+[[bar_items]]
+==== Items
+
+The option _items_ is a string with a list of bar items, separated by a comma
+(space between items on screen) or `+++` (glued items).
+
+The list of bar items is displayed with command `/bar listitems`.
+
+Before or after item name, you can use chars (that are not alphanumeric, `+-+`
+or `+_+`). They will be displayed before/after item with the delimiters color
+defined in bar (option _color_delim_).
+
+Example of bar with items "[time],buffer_number+:+buffer_plugin+.+buffer_name":
+
+....
+┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│[12:55] 3:irc/libera.#weechat │
+└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+....
+
+A special syntax can be used to force the buffer used when displaying the bar
+item: "@buffer:item" (where "buffer" is the full name of buffer and "item" is
+the name of a bar item).
+
+This is useful in root bars, to display item for a specific buffer which is
+not displayed in the current window (or even not displayed at all).
+
+Example: nicklist of bitlbee in a root bar (if the bar is called
+_bitlist_ and if bitlbee server is called _bitlbee_):
+
+----
+/set weechat.bar.bitlist.items "@irc.bitlbee.&bitlbee:buffer_nicklist"
+----
+
+[[bar_filling]]
+==== Filling
+
+There are four types of filling:
+
+* `+horizontal+`: the items are displayed horizontally, from left to right. If
+ there are new lines in items, a space is used to separate lines.
+* `+vertical+`: the items are displayed from top to bottom. If there are new
+ lines in items, a new line is used to separate lines.
+* `+columns_horizontal+`: items are displayed using columns, where text is
+ aligned on the left. The first item is on top left, the second is on same
+ line, on the right.
+* `+columns_vertical+`: items are displayed using columns, where text is aligned
+ on the left. The first item is on top left, the second is one line below.
+
+Default bars _title_, _status_ and _input_ have _horizontal_ filling, and
+default bar _nicklist_ has _vertical_ filling.

+[[bar_conditions]]
+==== Conditions
+
+The option _conditions_ is a string which is evaluated to know if the bar
+must be displayed or not.
+
+The string can be:
+
+* _active_: the window must be active
+* _inactive_: the window must be inactive
+* _nicklist_: the buffer displayed in window must have a nicklist
+* an expression: it is evaluated as boolean (see command
+ <<command_weechat_eval,/eval>>)
+
+For the expression, following variables are available:
+
+* `+${active}+`: true if window is active
+* `+${inactive}+`: true if window is inactive
+* `+${nicklist}+`: true if buffer displayed in window has a nicklist
+
+Following pointers are available:
+
+* `+${window}+`: the window where condition is evaluated
+* `+${buffer}+`: the buffer of window where condition is evaluated
+
+Example to display nicklist bar in all buffers with a nicklist, and only if
+width of terminal is > 100:
+
+----
+/set weechat.bar.nicklist.conditions "${nicklist} && ${info:term_width} > 100"
+----
+
+Same condition, but always display nicklist on buffer _&bitlbee_
+(even if terminal is small):
