Tree-sitter: 🎨 Diffrent `Syntax Highlighting` for each language... Is that possible?

[rediffusion]

✌️ Hi!
🔌 Interesting expansion.

As an example, I'll take the IDE called «NotePad++».
_See screenshots below_:

Now I put here some code, then I switch to other languages...

C

JavaScript

AutoHotkey

C++

CSS

HTML

Different syntax, color, style, font, weight, brackets... etc.
I want to see some good manuals to do these for «VS Code».

Best Regards! 🍻👍

Hi there. Tree-sitter is indeed a tool that you can use to build syntax highlighting support for a text editor, but integration into an existing editor is a process that depends much more on the editor than tree-sitter itself. As such, we’re not really in a position to provide detailed manuals on how to integrate your text editor, beyond the official documentation on using the parser API.

If you’re looking for VS Code integration, you might want to look at the extension for VSCode on the Visual Studio Marketplace. The issue tracking native support may also be of interest to you. Please note that Atom already provides its highlighting through tree-sitter.

I’m going to close this issue for now, but please feel free to leave further comments in this thread.

I don't need for "Notepad++" I need for «VS Code». It was just an example cuz in "Notepad++" I can do with Syntax Highlighting everything what I want.

The second paragraph of the post you are quoting goes over current support in VS Code for Tree-sitter.
