highlight.rs

1//! Whole-file syntax highlighting via tree-sitter, sliced into per-line styled
2//! ranges. Highlighting whole files (not hunks) keeps multi-line constructs
3//! like strings correct across hunk boundaries. Unknown languages and parse
4//! failures degrade to plain (empty) ranges so rendering never breaks.
