As a user i would like to only enable syntax highlighting on files of my choosing.
I only want my fiction to be highlighted and not my bullet point style note taking notes.

I propose a setting called:

Metadata Only Per File Activation No [ [|||||]-----] Yes
(NL-SYNTAX-HL: "all")

Only files with the correct metadata field will be highlighted (user opt-in)

(i'm willing to work on this)

When I turned this on I didn't have a mapping in my mind established for each color — so maybe this is NOT worth implementing and instead I should simply use the plugin a bit more.

This is my initial stab at this in my snippets.css

.adjective:before {
  content: "adjective";
}

.noun:before {
  content: "noun";
}

.adverb:before {
  content: "adverb";
}

.verb:before {
  content: "verb";
}

.conjunction:before {
  content: "conjunction";
}

.adjective:before,
.noun:before,
.adverb:before,
.verb:before,
.conjunction:before {
  position: absolute;
  top: -24px;
  left: 0;
  width: auto;
  padding: 2px 8px;
  border-radius: 4px;
  background: #000;
  color: #fff;
  opacity: 0.7;
  text-align: center;
  display: none;
}

.adjective:hover:before,
.noun:hover:before,
.adverb:hover:before,
.verb:hover:before,
.conjunction:hover:before {
  display: block
}

I would love a simple shortcut to turn on or off my default settings for the plugin completely. As a user, I want to see the highlights when editing, but not when composing.

By default, it picks the iA colours for this feature. Realistically it should probably use the obsidian --color-* colour definitions which will ensure it stays more in keeping with the user's theme.

Love the plugin by the way!

I have 16 plug-ins that load (recently started using). When I turned on the Natural Language Syntax Highlighter plugin, the screen was distracting and "busy" with too many colors. Instead of turning the plugin off or removing the plugin, I turned the colors off for the different word types. This was several days ago.

Additional observation, I did not notice any performance lag until this morning, and I have been using Obsidian a fair bit since then.

Here is the output from my performance file. At least that is what I think it is.
Trace-20231123T090012.json

I think it'd be useful to have the option to disable the plugin for the sentence or paragraph you're currently writing.

I find it a little distracting when the word you're currently typing out changes color multiple times, as the plugin determines the word type.

Thanks :)

Thank you so much for this plugin, it's excellent!

Many other Obsidian plugins offer an option to include or exclude (depending on the plugin) certain folders from the functionality. I personally find that I love this plugin for composing notes but for my Daily notes, which I use more tactically to get things done, I would prefer not to see the highlighting.

It would be great to be able to toggle this globally as it isn't always feasible to add a frontmatter field to turn this on.

Can i use this for text of two different languages at once?
For example:
German text
English translation below

Ich bin mit dem Fahrrad Nachhause gefahren
I drove with the bicycle home

for some reasons, I do not get any highlighting at all. I looked in the console and saw this error:

app.js:1 TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'wordsToOverrideDict')
    at getDecosOnLine (plugin:nl-syntax-highlighting:16511:53)
    at getAllDecosByLine (plugin:nl-syntax-highlighting:16481:21)

    at e._dispatch (app.js:1:438758)
    at e.dispatch (app.js:1:440536)

I tried using the plugin with the setting "Words to override" empty and filled with the example entries, in both cases I get the same error above.

I am a German guy and I write nearly all of my notes in German. I think it would helpful for a lot of people to be able to switch to the most common languages (using different language models for POS tagging in the background)

Right now, the Natural Language Syntax Highlighting is applied to the yaml frontmatter and code blocks as well, even though those are two areas where users most likely do not want to have NL Highlighting.

edit: also, tags also get highlighted.

Seria muy útil y necesario para los usuarios que escriben en español tener la alternativa de su idioma.

while not part of the original implementation by iA Writer, I think it makes a lot of sense to have Pronouns and articles also added as categories

Right now the text inside code blocks is processed and highlighted.

This is VERY confusing when handling vaults with lots of code snippets:

It would be useful to have a switch in the configuration to toggle this behaviour ON and OFF.
