Subject: feature request: option for css mode to highlight #rrggbb text
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2009 17:35:19 -0700

this is a feature request, for a option for css mode to highlight  
#rrggbb text.

Explanation:

in CSS, there are lots of RGB values, e.g.

pre.c {border-color:#454545}
pre.java {border-color:#a020f0}
pre.haskell {border-color:#00b2ee}
pre.ocaml {border-color:#6b8e23}

it is very convenient if the rgb code can be colored by its value, so  
that users can visually see what color they represent.

the css-mode that comes with emacs 22 doesn't seems to support this  
feature. (doesn't seem to have customize-group support)

Here's a implementation that i've been using for a few months.

;; by Nikolaj Schumacher. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/HexColour
(defvar hexcolor-keywords
  '(("#[abcdef[:digit:]]\\{6\\}"
     (0 (put-text-property
         (match-beginning 0)
         (match-end 0)
         'face (list :background
                     (match-string-no-properties 0)))))))

(defun hexcolor-add-to-font-lock ()
  (interactive)
  (font-lock-add-keywords nil hexcolor-keywords))
(add-hook 'css-mode-hook 'hexcolor-add-to-font-lock)

Note: CSS spec also allows this short form #RGB, where each of the  
rgb is a single char. e.g. #f3c is the same as #ff33cc. The above  
code need a bit tweak for this case.

rainbow-mode is included into ELPA and does exactly that for css-mode,
but also for X colors or LaTeX.

Its inclusion has been discussed and refused into Emacs, therefore, I
think this bug should be closed.
