//! The `language` crate provides... ???
#![warn(missing_docs)]
//! The `language` crate provides a large chunk of Zed's language-related
//! features (the other big contributors being project and lsp crates that revolve around LSP features).
//! Namely, this crate:
//! - Provides [`Language`], [`Grammar`] and [`LanguageRegistry`] types that
//! use Tree-sitter to provide syntax highlighting to the editor; note though that `language` doesn't perform the highlighting by itself. It only maps ranges in a buffer to colors. Treesitter is also used for buffer outlines (lists of symbols in a buffer)
//! - Exposes [`LanguageConfig`] that describes how constructs (like brackets or line comments) should be handled by the editor for a source file of a particular language.
//!
//! Notably we do *not* assign a single language to a single file; in real world a single file can consist of multiple programming languages - HTML is a good example of that - and `language` crate tends to reflect that status quo in it's API.
