tide-syntax

Syntax highlighting for Tide (.tid) in VS Code, Vim and Neovim.

Install

VS Code

Install Tide Syntax from the Marketplace, or run:

code --install-extension paoloanzn.tide-syntax

The extension is also on Open VSX, for Cursor, VSCodium and other VS Code forks.

Vim and Neovim

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paoloanzn/tide-syntax/main/install.sh | sh

This sets it up for every editor it finds (Vim, Neovim). Run it again to update.

If you use a plugin manager, point it at the vim/ folder instead. With vim-plug:

Plug 'paoloanzn/tide-syntax', { 'rtp': 'vim' }

With lazy.nvim:

{ "paoloanzn/tide-syntax", config = function(p) vim.opt.rtp:append(p.dir .. "/vim") end }

Development

The grammars for both editors are generated from syntax.yaml. Edit that file, never the generated files under vscode/ and vim/, then run:

python3 generate.py                               # needs PyYAML
(cd tests && npm install) && python3 tests/run_tests.py

The tests tokenize tests/cases.tid with VS Code's TextMate engine, Vim and Neovim, and compare the result with the // ^^^ class annotations in the file.

To publish a new version of the extension, bump version in syntax.yaml, regenerate, then run this in vscode/:

npx @vscode/vsce publish && npx ovsx publish

Known limitations

The grammars use regular expressions, not a parser. So contextual keywords (amount, slot, from, ...) and type names get highlighted even where they are used as variable names.
