What does this do?

This enables your theme to better color your code. There are "textmate scopes" that your theme uses to apply color, this extension adds/improves the textmate scopes which should improve the way your code looks.

NOTE: The default VS Code theme does not color much. Use a theme like one of the following to benefit from the changes:

  • Material Theme
  • Noctis
  • XD Theme
  • One Monokai Theme
  • Winteriscoming
  • Popping and Locking

How do I use it?

Just install the VS Code extension and the changes will automatically be applied to all relevent files.

Contributing

If you'd like to help improve the syntax, take a look at source/languages and look at the generate.rb files. And make sure to take a look at CONTRIBUTING.md to get a better idea of how code works.

What if I see a highlighting bug?
