Had a migraine and spent all day in bed :( ... here are 2 thoughts i wanted to type under your last post before i jump back into bed:
So far no (js/ts) programming was involved in syntaxing : its all json textmate definitions. Perhaps, a good part of it (switching from a language to another with @languages directives) using the 'embedded language' features you referred to, can also be done with json textmate definition file(s). I'll focus on more popular and pressing matters to make leoInteg "seriously useable" before going back to syntax coloring, but it's good to accumulate knowledge and comments about it, and not rush decisions of implementations too fast... :) Félix On Saturday, June 27, 2020 at 7:20:25 AM UTC-4, Edward K.
