Syntax Booster Pack for Visual Studio
Download this extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace or get the CI build
This extension enhances Visual Studio by adding syntax highlighting, code folding, and basic IntelliSense for various file types that aren't natively supported.
It helps you work with specialized or emerging languages without leaving your preferred IDE. The language pack is lightweight and integrates seamlessly with the Visual Studio interface, maintaining a consistent development experience.
Includes syntaxes from the textmate-grammars-themes repo.
Add missing languages
If you are missing a language, please open an issue or send a pull request to this repository. The goal is to include as many languages as possible in this extension. If a Textmate grammar exists for a language, it can be added to this extension, although some grammars might not be compatible with Visual Studio.
If you send a PR, don't add a new file or folder to the .csproj. Simply place your language files in the Grammars folder. VS should automatically detect them. You may need to close and reopen the solution in VS to see the changes.
Before suggesting a language, check Visual Studio’s built-in languages. This extension isn’t intended to replace built-in languages, but to add support for those that aren’t natively supported. You can find the built-in languages at:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TextMate\Starterkit\Extensions
