emerald-syntax-highlighting README

A simple syntax highlighter for the emerald programming language.

Info about Emerald can be found here

Note!: This was put together as fast as possible. The naming is probably wrong in a lot of places.

How to develop and test

Better described in vsc-extension-quickstart.md

In short: Open the folder in vscode. Press F5 to start a development vscode that has this extention installed.

Use "Developer: Inspect TM Scopes" to see what kind of scope a token has gotten. Great for debugging.

The scope inspector can be used on all languages, so I recommend having e.g. a typescript file with code to compare with.

Also, the names in the "name" fields are predefined! They are not random. They should however end with ".emerald".

Features

Shows the keywords defined in the language as well as arrows etc.

Requirements

None

Known Issues

None, but there is probably a lot of them.
