Description
I've recently been forced to switch from language-babel to language-typescript due to my language-babel no longer working with atom-typescript for some reason. The biggest thing I've noticed since making the switch is that the syntax highlighting for this grammar seems far behind that I had in language-babel. Some of the things I've seen so far:
- upper and lowercase variable names are styled differently:
| Babel | Typescript |
|---|---|
 |
 |
- Same for variables inline:
| Babel | Typescript |
|---|---|
 |
 |
- Types don't have the same level of detail so its impossible to style them much differently:
| Babel | Typescript |
|---|---|
 |
 |
At first I thought this was an issue with my syntax theme, but on inspecting the CSS I found that most of these issues are due to the text not being tagged at all thus it is impossible to style things correctly.
For example the following is from babel:
<span class="syntax--variable syntax--other syntax--readwrite syntax--js">iconColor</span>
where as in typescript I get:
iconColor
no wrapper at all.
