I just did another attempt to generate syntax highlighting for MMBasic with Claude and -- expect for a rather lengthy dialog about how to install it properly -- it worked pretty well. Since the complete PDF was too large for Claude's context, I gave it only the pages that list and explains the commands.
Note that I used Revision 0 (10 July 2025) of the manual (is there a newer one?), hence some recent commands may be missing.
The extension is contained in this zip:
mmbasic_vscode_syntax-1.0.0.zip
After unzipping it somewhere,
1) in VS Code, press Ctrl+Shift+P
2) Type: Extensions: Install from VSIX
3) Navigate to the unzipped folder
4) Select mmbasic-1.0.0.vsix
5) Click Install
6) Restart VS Code when prompted
The highlighting looks fine but I did not check it yet in detail.
Cheers
Thomas
