- If you already have the Prolog extension, sadly it needs to be disabled or uninstalled first because it will override this extension.
- Perl unfortunately chose to have the same file extension as Prolog (
.pl
), and Perl is a built-in language.- so, to make the file show up as Prolog, follow this guide. guide
- basically replace their
"*.module": "php",
with"*.pl": "prolog",
- (if the changes don't seem to apply, try reloading VS Code)
- After that just install the VS Code extension and the changes will automatically be applied.
This will get you the bleeding-edge syntax highlighting for Prolog. Which means your theme will be able to color your code better.
NOTE: The default VS Code theme does not color much. Switch to the Dark+ theme (installed by default) or use a theme like one of the following to benefit from the changes:
- XD Theme
- Noctis
- Kary Pro Colors
- Material Theme
- One Monokai Theme
- Winteriscoming
- Popping and Locking
- Syntax Highlight Theme
- Default Theme Enhanced
