Markdown CFML Syntax

Markdown CFML Syntax adds CFML and ColdFusion highlighting to fenced Markdown code blocks in both the editor and Markdown preview.

Markdown CFML Syntax preview

Features

  • Highlights CFML fences in the Markdown editor through TextMate grammar injection
  • Highlights CFML fences in Markdown preview through a bundled markdown-it and highlight.js integration
  • Supports CFScript, tag-based CFML, and mixed CFML content
  • Recognizes cfml, coldfusion, cfscript, cfc, and cfm fence identifiers
  • Applies theme-aware preview styles for light and dark VS Code themes

Usage

```cfml
component {
    public string function greet(required string name) {
        return "Hello, #arguments.name#!";
    }
}
```

```cfscript
variables.message = "Preview highlighting works here too.";
```

```coldfusion
<cfset result = len("CFML")>
```
