rainbowbrackets – Automatic coloring of nested parentheses
The primary function of this package is to replicate a common feature found in many integrated development environments (IDEs), wherein matching parentheses at the same nesting level are assigned corresponding colors. This visual aid facilitates improved readability and cognitive parsing of complex expressions.
