Support syntax highlighting

Open ottok opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

In 2017 the project https://github.com/gohxs/readline forked off this in order to provide syntax highlighting capabilities. That capability is the reason why some projects still depend on it, for example usql.

According to https://github.com/chzyer/readline/pull/116 the syntax highlighting capability was merged into this version.

Is anyone using it? Is it supposed to work?

In a quick test by @kenshaw this chzyer/readline does not seem to support syntax highlighting.
