Howdy fellow overseers,

when I decided to make baby steps at modding the other day I only found a highlighter for Notepad++, which I'm just not a fan of when developing.
Since I have the attention span of a !!Squirrel!!, I proceeded to write a highlighter for VSCode.

It's incomplete and includes some insane regular expressions, but the highlighting really helps with readability, so I thought I'd share.



Installation:

• Download the VSIX and decompress it: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=14026
• In VSCode, go to the extensions list, click the three dots, install from VSIX and pick the VSIX.

Usage:
Since raws have the .txt extension, you need to manually pick the language via the menu in the status bar, bottom right. Or you could associate .txt with the language.

Hope this helps some modders. If you wish to contribute, there's a project on Bitbucket:

Happy hacking!
