Sym File Extension

This extension adds language support and syntax highlighting for .sym symbol files.

What it does

  • Associates .sym files with the sym language id.
  • Adds basic editor pairs and ; line comments.
  • Highlights bank/address prefixes, symbol and local labels, dotted directives, and directive parameters.

Customize the highlighting

Edit syntaxes/sym.tmLanguage.json if you want to refine the symbol-file rules further for edge cases in your toolchain.
