Rust library for syntax highlighting using Sublime Text syntax definitions.

syntect's Issues

Should offer ability to detect generic vi: ft=* style language designations

Hi 👋 if anyone else actually see's this note to self.

I have recently started using bat as my goto ~pager. In working with some stuff I've already found myself in want of sharkdp/bat#1600 but I suspect that it should go into syntect proper rather than be grafted on in bat

I am looking to get into more rust, so I am setting this aside in this fork as a "good first issue" type of dealio

Cause I want the experience at least as much as I want the feature shipped immediately

For what its worth, I plan to crib from https://github.com/ctlajoie/vscode-modelines/blob/master/src/modelines.ts for the generic detection logic

if someone wants to beat me to it :-)
