This extension provides syntax highlighting and basic language support for the Sigil programming language (.sl files) in Visual Studio Code.

• Syntax Highlighting: Colorizes keywords, comments, strings, numbers, and more to improve code readability.
• Bracket Matching: Highlights matching brackets (), [], {}.
• Comment Toggling: Use Ctrl+/ (or Cmd+/) to toggle line comments (#).
• Auto-Closing Pairs: Automatically adds closing brackets, quotes, and backticks.

1. Open Visual Studio Code.
2. Launch the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P).
3. Type Extensions: Install Extensions and press Enter.
4. Search for Sigil Language Support.
5. Click Install to install it.
6. Reload VS Code if prompted.

The extension will automatically be activated when you open a file with the .sl extension.

Here is a preview of the syntax highlighting provided by this extension.

# This is a single-line comment const PI = 3.14159 let message: string = 'Hello, World!' let interpolated: string = `Your value is {PI}` # Function definition fn greet(name: string) -> string: return `Hello, {name}!` 

class Calculator: static pub fn add(a, b): return a + b let result = Calculator.add(10, 20) if result > 25: # Loop ten times loop 10: print('Result is greater than 25') else: print('Result is not greater than 25') }
