Doesn't work for *.conf filetypes (and maybe others?)

[filipekiss]

I installed your plugin and was working with a *.conf file and noticed the colors weren't working. I thought I was messing the configuration, but it works when I'm on a *.sass file. Here's a gist with both files and a minimal.vimrc for reproduction.

Great plugin, btw!

Sass File	Conf File

I can confirm this problem! I have no idea why, yet, though, but I'm working on another few issues, so I'll try to address it very soon. And thanks :)

@norcalli I think I found out the problem: The .conf file has no filetype in vim. If you set ft=conf the colors come up as if magic!

--- edit ---

I think this is not colorizer fault, but maybe we can add the information on the README that won't work for buffers without filetype? (since the AutoCmds won't be run)

[norcalli]

The problem probably originates in the FileType autocmd [EDIT: as you just mentioned, haha].

The setup function is just a thin wrapper around calling colorizer.attach_to_buffer().

If you do :lua require'colorizer'.attach_to_buffer(0), it will highlight the current buffer.

You can use this with options too (as the second parameter). In the meantime, it would seem that making an autocmd for BufReadPost *.conf setl ft=conf would work.

Yeah, adding the filetype solves the problem for me. Great plugin ♥️ Thank you so much!

[norcalli]

@filipekiss yeah, adding it to the README is a good idea. I'll keep this issue open for now for future travelers.

Made a pull-request with the information. :D Hope it helps.
