Add language support for Exercism's Bootcamp language: JikiScript
- Syntax highlighting as of Level 10 (updated: 2025-03-16)
- Snippets for common actions
- Language support (
.jiki,.jikiscript, .jikisand embedded markdown)
The highlighter can detect illegal use of break, continue, next and return in any scope.
// Illegal
return
break
continue
next
function test do
// Illegal
break
// Fine
return
end
if true do
// Illegal
break
end
repeat_forever do
// Illegal
return
// Fine
continue
end
If operators such as >= or and are not highlighted, support for keyword.operator.* is missing in your theme.
You can use custom theming for syntax highlighting.
See the section Custom Theming.
The following code will not highlight properly:
if(pos["direction"] == "up") do
But the following does work:
if (pos["direction"] == "up") do
The highlighter will enforce good use of whitespace, so please make sure you have word boundaries around all keywords.
As you write your code, highlighting may indicate something is illegal. This is often because your code is incomplete.
The following can be added to your editor.tokenColorCustomizations, either directly inside textMateRules, or nested underneath your theme(s):
{
"scope": "support.function.jikiscript",
"settings": {
"fontStyle": "underline"
}
},
{
"scope": [
"support.constant.my.jikiscript",
"punctuation.separator.namespace.jikiscript",
],
"settings": {
"fontStyle": "bold"
}
},See CHANGELOG.md
