===== Introduction ===== 

This is Vim Syntax highlighting setting for [[https://github.com/raysan5/raylib|Raylib]]. in C++ Developement. 


===== Setting File ===== 

==== 1. Make File ==== 

Your Custom Syntax File is Located at [~/.vim/after/syntax] 

and, We will make C++ Synatx file. So we will make cpp.vim at [~/.vim/after/syntax]  


For Linux, This command will make cpp.vim  

<code bash> 
mkdir -p ~/.vim/after/syntax 
cd ~/.vim/after/syntax 
touch ~/.vim/after/syntax/cpp.vim
</code> 

Well, 'touch' command is unnessary. (or optional). Cause if we command 'vim cpp.vim', then cpp.vim file is created. 

Now, we will Edit "cpp.vim" file. 

==== 2. Edit File ==== 


For Visual Studio Code, 
<code bash>
code cpp.vim  
# code ~/.vim/after/syntax/cpp.vim
</code>

and for VIM 

<code vash>
vim cpp.vim
# vim ~/.vim/after/syntax/cpp.vim
</code> 

===== Create Custom cpp.vim ===== 

==== 1. cpp.vim ==== 

This is my custom cpp.vim File For Raylib.

==== 2. Keyword ==== 

We can set VIM syntax keyword by this command 

<code vim>
syn keyword (TITLE)  [keyword1, keyword2, .....]
</code> 

You can find [[https://github.com/raysan5/raylib|Raylib]] keyword at [[https://www.raylib.com/cheatsheet/cheatsheet.html|Raylib CheatShet]]. 

==== 3. color ==== 

Color setting is like this 

<code vim>
hi (TITLE)  ctermfg=(COLOR) ctermbg=(COLOR) cterm=(NONE/BOLD) 
</code> 


cterm : NONE / BOLD 
COLOR : You can find VIM Color constant at [[https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/22635/ctermbg-and-ctermfg-are-backwards-or-incorrect-for-certain-highlighting-groups|this page.]]  


===== Conclusion =====
