YAML with IDL Injection

This extension provides syntax highlighting for YAML files with intelligent language injection based on key names:

• IDL syntax for keys ending with parentheses
• AsciiDoc syntax for keys named "description"

Features

IDL Injection

• Automatically detects YAML keys ending with () or (args) patterns
• Applies IDL syntax highlighting to both the arguments and the associated string values
• Supports all YAML string value types:
  • Quoted strings: key(): "IDL code"
  • Single-quoted strings: key(): 'IDL code'
  • Block scalars (literal): key(): |
  • Block scalars (folded): key(): >
• Works with nested YAML structures at any depth

AsciiDoc Injection

• Automatically detects YAML keys named "description"
• Applies AsciiDoc syntax highlighting to the string values
• Supports all YAML string value types (quoted, single-quoted, block scalars)

Example

# Description key - AsciiDoc highlighting applied
description: "This is a *bold* description with `code` markup"

# Key ending with () - IDL highlighting applied
operation(): "X[rd] = X[rs1] + X[rs2]"

# Key with arguments - IDL highlighting applied to both args and value
execute(Bits<5> rd, Bits<5> rs1): |
  if (rd != 0) {
    X[rd] = X[rs1] + 1
  }

# Nested structure - IDL highlighting applied
instruction:
  description: |
    = Instruction Overview
    
    This uses *AsciiDoc* formatting with `inline code`.
  
  encoding(): "0000000 rs2 rs1 000 rd 0110011"
  behavior(): |
    X[rd] = X[rs1] & X[rs2]

Requirements

This extension requires the IDL language extension to be installed for proper syntax highlighting of the injected IDL code.
