I can, but they might take some time to get merged in. I need to find a suitable textmate file for each, then submit it to the library upstream. Do you use an extension in your editor to get the proper highlighting?

I maybe found the RPG one. Is this it? https://github.com/NielsLiisberg/RPG-for-SublimeText

But I coulnd't find the others with a quick search.

Hi,

Do you need some more information?

[KevinBatdorf]

Sorry, just been busy I guess. These files actually look ok. Would it be possible for you to provide an idiomatic code sample for each one?

When I add a grammar upstream they have these guidelines to follow, which include adding a sample

In /packages/shiki/samples/, add a code sample file .sample for your language. A sample should include a variety of language syntaxes and succinctly capture the idiosyncrasy of a language. Format requirements:

• Space for indentation
• Less than 100 columns if possible
• Link to source in the last line, for example # From https://poignant.guide/book/chapter-5.html

[ibmiiste]

No problem, I can do that.

Hi,

Here is the first one bnd.sample.

I found this list actually. I'll use these: https://github.com/barrettotte/vscode-ibmi-languages/tree/master/tests/general

Opened a PR here: shikijs/shiki#526

Hi,

Yes you can use them.

do not hesite to ask me some question if needed.

Olivier.

Hi,

Do you have any news? I saw an issue on the pull request, do you need some help from my skill field?

Regards,

[KevinBatdorf]

It's a matter of waiting for them to merge it and tag a release. You could comment on the PR to show your interest in getting it merged. Not sure if it would help though.

If there isnt activity for awhile I may fork the project and add them, but that gets a bit complicated to maintain the fork. It's an option though.

[ibmiiste]

Hi,

there ie an answer from shikijs/shiki#526, it seems that they changed the process to add a request.

Regards,

Olivier.

Thanks for following up. Yeah I saw they moved to v1.0 and I want to update it. It's not going to be a trivial task though and given the way Gutenberg is structured, I may have to include both v1.0 and the the last sub 1.0 version to avoid invalidating everyone's code.

I also want to give a good upgrade path, but that will involve writing a complex tool to process all the blocks in the browser (the renderer requires webassembly).

I plan to do all this "soon" but I don't want to commit to a timeline because I can't predict my schedule (I work full time as well). It's near the front of my todo list though.

[ibmiiste]

Hi,

Do you have any news about your schedule :-)?

Regards,

Olivier.

[KevinBatdorf]

It's been on ym mind lately. I have to rewrite the whole thing to support adding new languages. I don't want to give a time frame though but I'll start putting some energy into it. Thanks for following up though.

[ibmiiste]

Hi,

Do you have some good news about this topic? Maybe a Christmas gift for me ;-)?

Regards,

Olivier.
