Ruby Syntax Highlighting for Visual Studio Code

Ruby, ERB and Gemfile Syntax Support.

This Extension allows for Ruby Syntax Support without needing to install language server, debugger etc. for a way to keep things simple and distraction free.

Install

This extension is available at the following extension marketplaces:

• Visual Studio Code Marketplace

Run one of the following commands depending on the editor you are using:

• For vscode: code --install-extension SarahRidge.vscode-ruby-syntax

Notes

• The initial language grammar was copied from vscode-ruby which is no longer supported
• ruby-lsp as the successor now maintains ruby grammars

Diffs
