[https://github.com/Lindydancer/cmake-font-lock CMake Font Lock] provides advanced highlight rules for [[CMakeMode]], written by [[AndersLindgren|Anders Lindgren]].

The main feature of this package is to highlight function arguments according how it's used, as a keyword, a variable, etc. This is a replacement for the somewhat rudimentary font-lock support provided by CMakeMode.

== Example ==

== What is colored ==

* Comments and quoted strings.
* Special functions like ##if##, ##while##, ##function##, and ##include## are colored as font-lock keywords (not to be confused with keywords in the CMake sense).
* Other function name are colored as, well, functions.
* The arguments of functions are colored according to the type, as specified by the function signature. The built-in signatures can color an arguments as a variable, a function, a property, a target, a policy, and finally a CMake keyword is colored as a type.
* The constants ##true##, ##false##, ##yes##, ##no##, ##y##, ##n##, ##on##, and ##off## are colored as constants.
* ##${...}## constructs are fontified as variables. Nested constructs are supported.
* For ##$ENV{...}##, ##ENV## is fontified as a variable and the content as a constant.
* For ##$<name:...>## constructs, name is colored as a constant.
* For preprocessor definitions like ##-DNAME##, ##NAME## is colored as a constant.
