如何在intellij中打开StringTemplate模板（* .st）的语法突出显示？

Question

I have a string template file (.st) in IntelliJ that I would like to see syntax highlighting on. How can I turn this on? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Answer 1

Short answer is - you can't.

Someone must first implement a syntax highlighter plugin for the format. The StringTemplate author, Terrence Parr, has begun work on such a plugin for String Template 4 but it does not support the older .st file format. I tried the plugin. Even on .stg files it is not ideal if you use a dark editor theme.

Answer 2

The best solution is to use HTML syntax for *.st files. You can set this in Preference > File types > HTML.
