What does this do?

This enables your theme to better color your code. There are "textmate scopes" that your theme uses to apply color, this extension adds/improves the textmate scopes which should improve the way your code looks.

NOTE: The default VS Code theme does not color much. Use a theme like one of the following to benefit from the changes:

• Material Theme
• Noctis
• XD Theme
• One Monokai Theme
• Winteriscoming
• Popping and Locking
• Syntax Highlight Theme

How do I use it?

Just install the VS Code extension and the changes will automatically be applied to all relevent files.

Contributing

If you'd like to help improve the syntax, take a look at source/languages and look at the generate.rb files. And make sure to take a look at CONTRIBUTING.md to get a better idea of how code works.
