VS Code - WML Syntax highlighting

[Bitron]

This is a simple WML syntax highlighter for Microsofts Visual Studio Code editor.

You can find both syntax support and color theme in the Visual Studio Marketplace or direclty in the editor's plugin tab. Just search for "wml" and you will find both syntax support and color theme. :)

I love you, thanks for making this.

(yes I came back from the dead just to post this)

[Bitron]

I'm glad to hear it is appreciated and you are welcome.
Feel free to tell if there is anything missing or you would like see additional features. :)

I am happy to announce that I somehow managed to register both extentions to the visual studio marketplace!
You can download them directly from there now, getting updates quicker and such. Woho!

Is it possible to add an icon? I use vscode-icons and, of course, .wml files show as the default 'blank page of paper' icon. Maybe a tiny copy of the game logo?

Nice. The .cfg files also are recognized.

I don't do WML a lot these days, but it's nice to have when I do.

[Bitron]

Unfortunately it does not seem possible now to add an icon for a custom language. At least I haven't found a way yet.
Though, I'll look out for that in future. I guess I'd use wesnoth' favicon.

I have a feeling if you submitted a PR with one to the icons project it'd be accepted. 'cfg' might be too common but 'wml' surely is unusual enough for them to consider adding it.

Small bug: comments aren't highlighted as comments unless there's a space after the #.

[Bitron]

That was actually intended in the beginning to force myself a little to use this convention. I hadn't thought about sharing the addon with others at this point. I can change it though, if you want.

EDIT: Fixed

I've noticed that, when coding in Lua in VS Code, it automatically de-indents when I type "end". Is it possible to do this for WML when I type "[/"? I'm not sure if that's in scope for a syntax hiliter, but I figure it can't hurt to ask.

[Bitron]

I had a look into it and it was fairly simple to implement, so I kicked out version 1.0.3 with that change. Now it automatically indents after an opening tag and it will automatically deindent closing tags like this:

Code: Select all

[tag]
---->
<----[/tag]

Where do I get v1.0.3? I don't see it in the opening post?

The extension is available on the VSCode marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/it ... Bitron.wml (the related color theme is here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/it ... noth-theme). Source code is at https://github.com/Byteron/wml.

Ah, I missed the part where it was added to the marketplace. The indenting thing is nice, thanks!

[Bitron]

Thank you for the quick help, warmaven.
I updated the initial post to prevent confusions in future.
