language-lua-wow

Add syntax highlighting for the World of Warcraft API in Lua files in Atom.

This package provides language-lua and adds the following scopes:

• support.function.wow.api: WoW API functions.
• support.function.wow.framexml: Functions implemented in Lua that are used by the UI.
• support.function.wow.widget.[Widget]: Widget methods.
• support.function.wow.lua: Functions that are references to standard library functions, functions added to standard libraries, and added basic functions. (Lua functions)
• constant.wow.event: Event names.

To change the syntax highlighting for these scopes, you need to add styles to the style.less file in your ~/.atom directory.

You can open this file in an editor from the File > Stylesheet... menu.

For example, you could add the following rule to your ~/.atom/styles.less file to tweak the color of WoW functions:

atom-text-editor::shadow {
  .support.function.wow {
    &.api, &.widget {
      color: darken(@syntax-color-function, 15%);
    }
    &.framexml {
      color: lighten(@syntax-color-function, 10%);
    }
  }
}

Themes probably have a set of variables defined that you can use, but of course you can always do your own thing.
