Editor Settings for Highlighting in Color Theme Extensions

Syntax highlighting is currently only enabled in built-in themes. This is because the 'Semantic Highlighting' used by XPath Embedded does not work well with some languages and some themes.

To enable syntax highighting for a custom theme you need to change User Settings. For example, to enable syntax highlighting for XSLT in the City Lights theme use:

{
    "editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations":{
      "[Monokai +Blue]": {"enabled": true}
    },
}

Or, to enable syntax highlighting for all themes:

{
    "editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations":{
      "enabled": true
    },
}
