tmlanguage

Scenario I have JSON files that describe a series of tasks to be carried out, where each task can refer to other tasks and objects in the JSON file. { "tasks": [ { "id": "first", "action": "doSomething()", "result": {} }, { "id": "second", "action": "doSomething(${id:first.result})", "result": {} }, ] } I'd like to have both JSON schema validation and custom language text effects like keyword coloring and even "Go to definition" support within strings in the JSON. What I can do I can create an extension that specifies a JSON schema for a file extension "*.foo.json". This gives schema

I'm trying to create a simple colorization for log files, now that it's possible include custom languages in Code (I'm on 0.9.2). I have created a simple .tmLanguage file for colorizing the letter 'q', just for starting up, but have been unsuccessful. My new language, log , is associated correctly with the file extension and I can also select it manually from inside Code, but no coloring takes places.

Is there a way to extend the supported languages/grammars in Visual Studio Code? I'd like to add a custom language syntax, but I've not been able to find any information on how language services are provided.

You can find existing files e.g. on GitHub or
