MLisp Shared Resources

Language definition files shared across editor extensions.

Purpose

The syntax/ directory contains TextMate grammar and language configuration files that can be used by:

• VSCode extension (../vscode-ext/) - Currently maintains a copy in syntaxes/
• Other editors - Can use these files for syntax highlighting support

Contents

File	Description
syntax/mlisp.tmLanguage.json	TextMate grammar for syntax highlighting
syntax/language-configuration.json	Language configuration (brackets, auto-closing, folding, etc.)

Grammar Features

The TextMate grammar highlights:

• Comments: ;; for line comments
• Booleans: #t, #f
• Numbers: Integers (42, -17) and floats (3.14)
• Strings: Double-quoted with escape sequences
• Keywords:
  • Control: if, cond, else, begin, quote, quasiquote, unquote, unquote-splicing
