1. Describe the bug Currently the Syntax Highlighting isn't applied in the preview of the changes of a PR. Only when I select one specific file, then I'm getting the syntax hightlighting

2. To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install the extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dynamics-smb.allanghighlights for DevOps
  2. Create a PR with multiple .al files.
  3. There is not syntax highlighting

it could be that this isn't related to the AL Language. Maybe this is a general Azure DevOps issue. I wasn't able to find any other documentation on this topic. https://www.reddit.com/r/azuredevops/comments/sxpogh/syntax_highlighting_in_diff_view/

Hi, thanks for being an early adopter of the AL Syntax Highlighting extension for Azure DevOps. We appreciate your feedback, unfortunately this is a limitation in the Azure DevOps product as you mentioned. This behaviour is no different from the preview for other languages like C# or Java in the same context. To get syntax highlighting, you can click the files in the left-side pane of the Files tab: image

I hope this helps!

@EmilDamsbo you have any kind of official documentation, that this is a limitation of azure DevOps? I really searched through the web, but couldn't find any reference.

If this is a limitation of Azure DevOps, then I will close this issue an open an Idea for Azure DevOps

I created an idea now for azure devops https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Add-syntax-highlighting-for-the-diff-vie/10483974

I have not found it documented anywhere, but the behaviour is exhibited for all languages I have tried in Azure DevOps in the webclient. I upvoted your idea too :)
