Blech syntax highlighting in GitHub #60

Closed frameworklabs closed 5 days ago

frameworklabs commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When looking at Blech code (.blc - soon also .blh) on GitHub keywords and other lexical entities (comments etc) are not highlighted / colored. This makes reading Blech code less pleasant.

Describe the solution you'd like Add syntax coloring/highlighting for Blech files on GitHub (and maybe other Source Repos?) The coloring behavior would be equal to what the Blech VS Code Plugin does.

Github uses Linguist for syntax highlighting.

There is an article on Medium about it.

From the contribution guide:

We try only to add languages once they have some usage on GitHub. In most cases we prefer that each new file extension be in use in at least 200 unique :user/:repo repositories before supporting them in Linguist.
