Tree-sitter grammar and syntax highlight queries for the Tera templating language.
Tip
See also Tera extensions for other editors:
- Visual Studio Code: uncenter/vscode-tera
- Zed: uncenter/zed-tera
- Sublime Text: MuntasirSZN/sublime-tera
Important
Requires Neovim v0.11 or later.
Install the grammar by running the following command inside Neovim:
:TSInstall tera
Note
As of 2025-02-02 (unreleased), tree-sitter-tera is included for Tera language support in Helix.
- Add the following language and grammar configuration to your own
languages.tomlconfiguration file:
[[grammar]]
name = "tera"
[grammar.source]
git = "https://github.com/uncenter/tree-sitter-tera"
rev = "main"
[[language]]
file-types = ["tera"]
grammar = "tera"
injection-regex = "tera"
name = "tera"
scope = "source.tera"
block-comment-tokens = [
{ start = "{#", end = "#}" },
{ start = "{#-", end = "-#}" },
{ start = "{#", end = "-#}" },
{ start = "{#-", end = "#}" },
]

just helix syncorjust helix linkto copy or symlink the Helix-specific queries to Helix's runtime directory, as unfortunately queries are not used from the grammar repository by default.
Important
Helix uses the reverse query precedence ordering, meaning that the first matching highlight query is used rather than last; this is the opposite behavior of Neovim and Zed, both of which use the last matching highlight query - think of it like CSS, where queries gain precedence by being located further down. Helix does seemingly plan to change this soon, but for now this repository has a separate folder for Helix-converted queries (built with just helix build, using tree-sitter-query-reverser.
