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 repo. The goal is to have as many languages as possible in this extension. If a Textmate grammar exists for a language, it can be added to this extension, but some grammars may not be compatible with Visual Studio.
If you send a PR, make sure that you don't add a new file or folder with your language to the .csproj. Just drop it in the Grammars folder and VS will automatically pick it up. You may need to close and reopen the solution in VS for the changes to take effect.
