**Inherits:** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`
**Inherited By:** :ref:`CodeHighlighter<class_CodeHighlighter>`, :ref:`EditorSyntaxHighlighter<class_EditorSyntaxHighlighter>`
Base Syntax highlighter resource for :ref:`TextEdit<class_TextEdit>`.
.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group
Description
-----------
Base syntax highlighter resource all syntax highlighters extend from, provides syntax highlighting data to :ref:`TextEdit<class_TextEdit>`.
The associated :ref:`TextEdit<class_TextEdit>` node will call into the **SyntaxHighlighter** on a as needed basis.
\ **Note:** Each Syntax highlighter instance should not be shared across multiple :ref:`TextEdit<class_TextEdit>` nodes.

Method Descriptions
-------------------
.. _class_SyntaxHighlighter_method__clear_highlighting_cache:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
void **_clear_highlighting_cache** **(** **)** |virtual|
Virtual method which can be overridden to clear any local caches.
.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator
----
.. _class_SyntaxHighlighter_method__get_line_syntax_highlighting:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
:ref:`Dictionary<class_Dictionary>` **_get_line_syntax_highlighting** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` line **)** |virtual| |const|
Virtual method which can be overridden to return syntax highlighting data.
See :ref:`get_line_syntax_highlighting<class_SyntaxHighlighter_method_get_line_syntax_highlighting>` for more details.
.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator
----
.. _class_SyntaxHighlighter_method__update_cache:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
void **_update_cache** **(** **)** |virtual|
Virtual method which can be overridden to update any local caches.
.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator
----
.. _class_SyntaxHighlighter_method_clear_highlighting_cache:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
void **clear_highlighting_cache** **(** **)**
Clears all cached syntax highlighting data.
Then calls overridable method :ref:`_clear_highlighting_cache<class_SyntaxHighlighter_method__clear_highlighting_cache>`.
.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator
----
.. _class_SyntaxHighlighter_method_get_line_syntax_highlighting:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
:ref:`Dictionary<class_Dictionary>` **get_line_syntax_highlighting** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` line **)**
Returns syntax highlighting data for a single line. If the line is not cached, calls :ref:`_get_line_syntax_highlighting<class_SyntaxHighlighter_method__get_line_syntax_highlighting>` to calculate the data.
The return :ref:`Dictionary<class_Dictionary>` is column number to :ref:`Dictionary<class_Dictionary>`. The column number notes the start of a region, the region will end if another region is found, or at the end of the line. The nested :ref:`Dictionary<class_Dictionary>` contains the data for that region, currently only the key "color" is supported.
\ **Example return:**\
::
var color_map = {
0: {
"color": Color(1, 0, 0)
},
5: {
"color": Color(0, 1, 0)
}
}
This will color columns 0-4 red, and columns 5-eol in green.
.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator
----
.. _class_SyntaxHighlighter_method_get_text_edit:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
:ref:`TextEdit<class_TextEdit>` **get_text_edit** **(** **)**
Returns the associated :ref:`TextEdit<class_TextEdit>` node.
.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator
----
.. _class_SyntaxHighlighter_method_update_cache:
.. rst-class:: classref-method
void **update_cache** **(** **)**
Clears then updates the **SyntaxHighlighter** caches. Override :ref:`_update_cache<class_SyntaxHighlighter_method__update_cache>` for a callback.
\ **Note:** This is called automatically when the associated :ref:`TextEdit<class_TextEdit>` node, updates its own cache.
.. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)`
.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
.. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
.. |constructor| replace:: :abbr:`constructor (This method is used to construct a type.)`
.. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)`
.. |operator| replace:: :abbr:`operator (This method describes a valid operator to use with this type as left-hand operand.)`
