The official collection of syntax highlighting packages shipped with Sublime Text and Sublime Merge, written in the sublime-syntax format. It serves as the canonical source for language definitions and syntax tests, which contributors can fork and symlink locally to modify and test.

Use cases

  • fix or improve syntax highlighting for a language in Sublime Text
  • write sublime-syntax definitions for a new programming language
  • run syntax tests for Sublime Text packages
  • customize default language grammars in Sublime Text
  • contribute syntax highlighting updates shipped with Sublime Merge

When to choose

  • you want to edit or extend syntax definitions bundled with Sublime Text or Sublime Merge
  • you are developing a sublime-syntax grammar and want reference implementations and syntax tests

When to avoid

  • you use a different editor like VS Code or Vim
  • you need a Sublime Text plugin using the Python API rather than syntax definitions
  • you run a Sublime Text build older than 4095, which is incompatible with this format
