Langue
Langue is a minimalistic and composable language highlighter for JS, that I built for fun. It's currently used in my Wiktor notebook engine.

/>Basic architectural idea
Simplicity
- Only a few common syntax groups:
- Keyword
- Special
- Punctuation
- Comment
- String
- Regex based rules
- String and comment matchers are auto-built from given start/end tokens
Composable architecture:
- Ability to inject definitions within definitions (JS/CSS in HTML)
- Best-effort matching - ignore parts that don't match and continue
- Ability to build your definitions progressively
