Creating own language highlighting

See original GitHub issue

I’ve created a highlighting for arduino language. But I have problems with the operators, like =, &&, ! == and so on. I don’t know how to do this correctly and I found no documentation for creating new languages. I hope I did it right so far.

I’ve created an working example recreating my problems.

Later on, is there a way to add this language to the repository, or is this not wished?

Hi! Could you be more specific about the issue you have with the operators?

You can find documentation on language creation on this page.

Regarding the addition of this to the official repo, I’m not sure “Arduino” can be considered as a language. If I understand correctly, this is just C++.

That being said, I think it’s great that you’re creating your own language extension to have it highlighted as you want it to be.
