;;; Commentary:

;; This is a "rainbow parentheses" mode which includes support for
;; parens "()", brackets "[]", and braces "{}". It conveys nesting
;; depth by using a different face for each level.  It colors all
;; statements at a given level using the same color - if several
;; statements are all at the same nested depth, they will all be the
;; same color.
;;
;; Great care has been taken to make this mode FAST. You should see no
;; discernible change in scrolling or editing speed while using it,
;; even with delimiter-rich languages like Clojure, Lisp, and Scheme.
;;
;; The one exception is with extremely large nested data structures
;; having hundreds of delimiters; in that case there will be a brief
;; pause to colorize the structure the very first time it is displayed
;; on screen; from then on editing this structure will perform at full
;; speed.
;;
;; Default colors have been chosen with the philosophy that it's
;; better be less intrusive than to be more colorful. Color schemes
;; are always a matter of taste.  If you do take the time to design a
;; new color scheme, please post it on the EmacsWiki page!

;;; Installation:

;; 1. Place rainbow-delimiters.el on your emacs load-path.
;;
;; 2. Compile the file (necessary for speed):
;; M-x byte-compile-file <location of rainbow-delimiters.el>
;;
;; 3. Add the following to your dot-emacs/init file:
;; (require 'rainbow-delimiters)
;;
;; 4. Add hooks for modes where you want it enabled, for example:
;; (add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook 'rainbow-delimiters-mode)
;;
;; - To activate rainbow-delimiters mode temporarily in a buffer:
;; M-x rainbow-delimiters-mode

;;; Customization:

;; To customize various options, including the color scheme:
;; M-x customize-group rainbow-delimiters
;;
;; color-theme.el users:
;; If you use the color-theme package, you can specify custom colors
;; by adding the appropriate faces to your theme.
;; - Faces take the form of:
;;   'rainbow-delimiters-depth-#-face' with # being the depth.
;;   Depth begins at 1, the outermost color.
;;   Faces exist for depths 1-12.
;; - The unmatched delimiter face is:
;;   'rainbow-delimiters-unmatched-delimiter-face'

;;; Change Log:

;; 1.0 - Initial release.
;; 1.1 - Stop tracking each delimiter's depth independently.
;;       This had lead to confusing results when viewing clojure
;;       code. Instead, just color based on current nesting inside
;;       all delimiters combined.
;;     - Added 'all-delimiters' faces to apply a color scheme to
;;       all delimiters at once. Other faces inherit from this group.
;; 1.1.1 - Change color scheme to a lighter, more subtle style.
;; 1.1.2: (2011-03-25)
;;  - Add an unmatched-delimiter face and correct problem with
;;    coloring of text following unmatched closing delims.
;; 1.2: (2011-03-28)
;;  - Unify delimiter faces: all delimiter types now use the same depth
;;    faces, of form 'rainbow-delimiters-depth-#-face'.
;; 1.2.1: (2011-03-29)
;;  - Conform to ELPA conventions.

;;; TODO:

;; - Add support for nested tags (XML, HTML)

;;; Issues:

;; - Rainbow-delimiters mode does not appear to change the color of
;;   delimiters when Org-mode is enabled.
