This Text Mate Grammar compatible syntax is twice as big as the official html5 syntax, literally <5K lines of regex to text.html.basic's 2,500~ish lines of regex. 😎

I would LOVE to get this into tiddlywiki somehow, so we can have full syntax highlighting INSIDE of the "code" edit-templates. I think the best option at this point would be to try to adapt TW5-Monaco.

I have forked that here to work on the concept over the next few weeks: https://github.com/joshuafontany/tw5-monaco

Quickstart: [Howto] Use TW5-Syntax plugin with VSCode.dev

@joshuafontany

This is really great stuff, but the predefined snippets are a pain. I would like to contribute. I think I do understand the snippet syntax.

But I need some help with testing -- If I make changes to the snippets.json. How can I test the changes locally? before creating a PR

[pmario]

I did find it. I only needed to install the dev-dependencies and then run the extension code with F5 - Thx for the great work.

You can expect quite some snippent PRs shortly.

I'm all in favour if that is a quicker route than porting the syntax highlighter to CodeMirror. It does look like TW5-Monaco needs quite a lot of work, for example to make it work offline with a single file wiki.

Hi. After further research, it seems that Monaco Editor is not recommended for mobile use, and cannot be feature-complete when loaded from file:// uris. That's not going to work out for my use-cases, so we pivot and see how complex recreating this for Code-Mirror will be. Anyone reading this with CodeMirror syntax resources, feel free to drop them here.

Hi @joshuafontany I had a quick look at the gory details of the TW5 textmate grammar, it's quite an undertaking. It's very disappointing about Monaco, but I'm sure a CodeMirror port of TW5-syntax would be very well received were such a thing to be possible.

https://gk0wk.github.io/TW5-CodeMirror-Enhanced/ - this plugin includes code which provides syntax highlighting for TW5 syntax.

[Jermolene]

Thanks @btheado, and congratulations @Gk0Wk – I did not realise your plugin includes syntax highlighting.

It would be great to get some of those enhancements into the core plugins.
