Syntax Highlighting syntax-highlighting

Syntax Highlighting

Syntax highlighting is a very common feature in applications that deal with code. Tree-sitter has built-in support for syntax highlighting, via the tree-sitter-highlight library. This system is currently used on GitHub.com for highlighting code written in several langauges.

Note - If you are working on syntax highlighting in the Atom text editor, you should consult this page in the Atom Flight Manual. Atom currently uses a different syntax highlighting system that is also based on Tree-sitter, but is older than the one described in this document.
