proposal: create TextMate-Compatible Grammar for C3

[vkuprin]

I’ve been exploring the process of adding C3 language support to GitHub Linguist for syntax highlighting. As per Linguist’s requirements, it only supports TextMate-compatible grammars for syntax highlighting.

Currently, the C3 repository has an excellent Tree-sitter grammar (tree-sitter-c3), but there doesn’t seem to be a TextMate-compatible grammar available

I think there is a sublime highlighting, is that one TM compatible?

[cbuttner]

There already is a TextMate grammar here, but it's probably important that I remove the distinction between top- and function-level at some point so it becomes a suitable grammar for parsing code snippets.

[lerno]

@cbuttner Is this one up to date with the latest changes to the grammar?

[cbuttner]

The grammar is now up to date.

[lerno]

Can we get a compiled version somewhere too?

[cbuttner]

@lerno I'm not sure what you mean, the TextMate grammar is just a json file.

[lerno]

I am confused, there are two files there and I think traditionally the grammar is just a single file. Is it the same thing in two formats?

[cbuttner]

The json file is generated from the yml file using the vscode-c3/build_syntax.js script.

here's my VSCode extension to help with authoring TextMate grammars https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=RedCMD.tmlanguage-syntax-highlighter

This is now completed.
