Problem: Not all default highlight groups show their actual colors.
Solution: Refactor `vimhelp.lua` and apply it to all relevant lists (UI
groups, syntax groups, treesitter groups, LSP groups, diagnostic groups).
PROBLEM: `vim.treesitter.get_node()` does not recognize the `lang` in
the option table. This option was used in somewhere else, for instance,
`vim.treesitter.dev` (for `inspect_tree`) but was never implemented.
SOLUTION: Make `get_node()` correctly use `opts.lang` when getting a
treesitter parser.
Problem:
With incremental injection parsing, injected languages' parsers parse
only the relevant regions and stores the result in _trees with the index
of the corresponding region. Therefore, there can be holes in _trees.
Solution:
* Use generic table functions where appropriate.
* Fix type annotations and docs.
Problem
---
If a highlighter query returns a significant number of predicate
non-matches, the highlighter will scan well past the end of the window.
Solution
---
In the iterator returned from `iter_captures`, accept an optional
parameter `end_line`. If no parameter provided, the behavior is
unchanged, hence this is a non-invasive tweak.
Fixes: #25113nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter#5057
The name for_each_child is misleading and caused bugs.
After #25111, #25115, there are no more usages of `for_each_child` in Nvim.
In the future if we want to restore this functionality we can consider a
generalized vim.traverse(node, key, visitor) function.
Problem:
Treesitter highlighting is slow for large files with lots of injections.
Solution:
Only parse injections we are going to render during a redraw cycle.
---
- `LanguageTree:parse()` will no longer parse injections by default and
now requires an explicit range argument to be passed.
- `TSHighlighter` now parses injections incrementally during on_win
callbacks for the line range being rendered.
- Plugins which require certain injections to be parsed must run
`parser:parse({ start_row, end_row })` before using the tree.
* feat(treesitter): add injection language fallback
Problem: injection languages are often specified via aliases (e.g.,
filetype or in upper case), requiring custom directives.
Solution: include lookup logic (try as parser name, then filetype, then
lowercase) in LanguageTree itself and remove `#inject-language`
directive.

Problem:
Lua functions that return multiple results are declared by using
multiple `@return` docstring directives. But the generated docs don't
make it obvious what this represents.
Solution:
- Generate a "Return (multiple)" heading for multiple-value functions.
- Fix `@note` directives randomly placed after `@return`.
Problem:
"playground" is new jargon that overlaps with existing concepts:
"dev" (`:help dev`) and "view" (also "scratch" `:help scratch-buffer`) .
Solution:
We should consistently use "dev" as the namespace for where "developer
tools" live. For purposes of a "throwaway sandbox object", we can use
the name "view".
- Rename `TSPlayground` => `TSView`
- Rename `playground.lua` => `dev.lua`
When injections are added or removed make sure to:
- invoke 'changedtree' callbacks for when new trees are added.
- invoke 'changedtree' callbacks for when trees are invalidated
- redraw regions when languagetree children are removed
Problem:
vim.treesitter.inspect_tree() and :InspectTree does not respect 'splitright'.
Solution:
- Change the default `command` from `topleft 60vnew` to `60vnew`.
- Change :InspectTree to respect command mods (`:vertical`, count, etc.).
Closes#22656
Never return the changes an only notify them using the `on_changedtree`
callback.
It is not guaranteed for a plugin that it'll be the first one to call
`tree:parse()` and thus get the changes.
Closes#19915
Problem:
gen_vimdoc.py / lua2dox.lua does not support @defgroup or \defgroup
except for "api-foo" modules.
Solution:
Modify `gen_vimdoc.py` to look for section names based on `helptag_fmt`.
TODO:
- Support @module ?

Problem:
Help tags like vim.treesitter.language.add() are confusing because
`vim.treesitter.language` is (thankfully) not a user-facing module.
Solution:
Ignore the "fstem" when generating "treesitter" tags.
Problem:
"show" is potentially a new verb that we can avoid (there is already
"open" and "echo"). Even if we can't avoid it, the behavior of
`show_tree` fits well in the "inspect" family of functions: a way for
users to introspect/reflect on the state of Nvim.
Existing "inspect" functions:
vim.inspect()
vim.inspect_pos()
vim.treesitter.inspect_language()
nvim__inspect_cell
Solution:
Rename `show_tree` to `inspect_tree`.
