DESCRIPTION                                                   *hier-description*

Highlight quickfix errors and location list entries in buffer. This plugin
was designed to support the editqf vim script
(http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3557) but it also works
very well stand alone.

This script can be downloaded from
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3564. The latest development
version is available at https://github.com/jceb/vim-hier.

USAGE                                                               *hier-usage*

The following commands are provided:
	:HierStart		" enable hier highlighting
	:HierStop		" disable hier highlighting
	:HierUpdate		" update error highlighting for current buffer
	:HierClear		" remove highlighting - it will be displayed
				" again when :HierUpdate is called

==============================================================================
CUSTOMIZATION                                               *hier-customization*

The highlight group can be customized by setting the following variables.
Setting a variable to the string "" will disable highlighting of that
group. Every type can be highlighted differently (error, warning, info):
	let g:hier_highlight_group_qf   = 'SpellBad'
	let g:hier_highlight_group_qfw  = 'SpellLocal'
	let g:hier_highlight_group_qfi  = 'SpellRare'

	let g:hier_highlight_group_loc  = 'SpellBad'
	let g:hier_highlight_group_locw = 'SpellLocal'
	let g:hier_highlight_group_loci = 'SpellRare'

Enable/disable highlighting highlighting by default:
	let g:hier_enabled              = 1

==============================================================================

- editqf is a plugin that let's you edit and add entries in quickfix window.
  The hier plugin is a useful extension to the editqf plugin
  (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3557)

- quickfixsigns is a plugin similar to hier. The main difference is that it
  highlights the quickfix locations in a separate column. quickfixsigns also
  support the highlighting of marks which is not in the focus of hier.
