Screenshot of JavaScript code highlighted by context.

-Highlights JavaScript code according to function context. Code in the global -scope is white, code in functions within the global scope is yellow, code within -such functions is green, etc. +Highlights code by scope. Top-level scopes are one color, second-level scopes +are another color, and so on. Variables retain the color of the scope in which +they are defined. A variable defined in an outer scope referenced by an inner +scope is colored the same as the outer scope. -## Usage +By default, comments and strings are still highlighted syntactically. -- Install [Node.js 0.10][node] (or higher). -- Clone this repository and put it on your [load path][]. -- Add the following to your `~/.emacs`: +## Features + +- Light and dark customizable color schemes. +- JavaScript support: + - Script, function and block scopes (and even `catch` block scopes). + - Node.js "file-level" scope detection. +- Emacs Lisp support: + - `defun`, `lambda`, `let`, `let*`, `cond`, `condition-case`, `defadvice`, + `dolist`, `quote`, `backquote` and backquote splicing. + - Works in `eval-expression` too. + +## Installation + +Requires Emacs 24.3+.
