WHILE Syntax Highlighter

A Sublime Text syntax highlighter for the extended WHILE language, as used in the Limits of Computation module at the University of Sussex.

Authors: Toby Dennison; Bernhard Reus.

Many thanks to Bernhard for reviewing the highlighter's syntax coverage and the suitability of the colours used.

If you spot any errors, please let us know.

Tip for Speedy WHILE Programming: Download Sublime packages Terminus and Origami to open a terminal window inside of Sublime and position it where you like, respectively.

Note: There is an equivalent extension for VS Code, using the same colours.

Add license

You can do so by adding a new file on Github and typing "license" in the file name field, then there is a list of options. A license would make it easy to reuse the code, e. g., for making a vscode extension.
