Highlighting Rhai syntax in my own app

[johan-overbye]

Hi! I'm tentatively using Rhai as the scripting language for a game I'm writing in Rust.

I'm writing a custom immediate-mode UI system for the game editor (and the game) currently using parley and vello. How can I implement syntax highlighting of Rhai code in the game editor? Ideally without writing the highlighting rules for Rhai myself.

Not very sure about this. The syntax highlighting I know is usually based on highlight.js and working on a web page.

There are syntax highlighting files in vscode-rhai which you may use, but your editor lib needs to support it.

In my case I'm writing my own editor. It seems like I could use the syntect crate and this Sublime syntax highlighting definition for rhai.

Beware that sublime-rhai might be a bit out-dated... You should look into vscode-rhai for the most up-to-date one...
