xill-language README
As an Xillio consultant I wrote this extension to ease working with the Xill language by using the power of Visual Studio Code.
Thanks to ChappIO for automating most of the snippets.

- Syntax highlighting based on a modified C# syntax highlighter
- Semi automatich code formatting**
** To format your code use CTRL+SHIFT+P
, change the language to javascript
, format the document using ALT+SHIFT+F
and change back the language to Xill
.
Planned features
- Automatic code formatting
- Automatic setup of Xill projects
- Debugging features
