Archi Language

Syntax highlighting and file icons for Architect .archi files.

Features

  • Syntax highlighting for the .archi language, tuned to its structure:
    • block: / keyword: headers and their names
    • Nested keywords with inline values
    • Nested keywords with no value (section headers)
    • Values, interpolation ({ ... }), and references
  • File icon — .archi files show the Architect logo in the Explorer.
  • Indent-aware editing — tab-based indentation with auto-indent after : headers.

Recommended colors

The grammar exposes distinct TextMate scopes so you can theme the language exactly. A matching palette (add to your settings.json under editor.tokenColorCustomizations → textMateRules):

Element Scope Color
block: / keyword: header keyword.control.block.archi #AF5AA8
Block name variable.parameter.archi #FF9233
Keyword + : (with value) support.type.property-name.archi #3AB2F8
Keyword + : (no value) support.type.property-name.empty.archi #3DB893
Value string.unquoted.value.archi #FFFFFF

Usage

Open any .archi file — highlighting and the file icon apply automatically. To use the bundled Explorer icon theme, run Preferences: File Icon Theme and pick Archi File Icons, or keep your existing icon theme (the .archi icon still applies via the language contribution).
