What I was hoping to have is have the arbitrary name of the function "xyz_any_function_name" have a color red when it's defined(after the word "function") or when it's called(after the word "call".
Hi,
maybe try something like (AN EXAMPLE!):
{ name = 'meta.call.your_LG'; match = '^\s*(call)\s+(\S+)'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'keyword.control.your_LG'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.type.call.your_LG'; }; }; }, { name = 'meta.function.your_LG'; match = '^\s*(function)\s+(\S+)'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'storage.type.function.your_LG'; }; 2 = { name = 'entity.name.function.your_LG'; }; }; },
If you assign the same name for the 2. match in 'call' and 'function' or you write (function|call) the function name will appear in the same colour.
And look in other Language Grammars (C, Ruby, Python, ...) since it's a common task.
Hope it helps a bit.
Best, --Hans
