Read time 1 minuteLast updated 21 days ago
Configure the language that Unity Version Control (UVCS) uses to syntax highlight the contents of files or revisions in the side by side diff tool. The following options are available for syntax highlighting: 
  • Plain text
    : UVCS doesn’t perform any syntax highlighting.
  • Automatic
    : UVCS automatically selects a language based on the file extension. You can also select one of the supported languages in the menu.
  • Custom
    : Create a 
    languages.conf
    file     to customize the language extensions.

Create a 
languages.conf
file

To customize the syntax highlight language, create a 
languages.conf
configuration file in the 
syntaxhighlight
directory under the 
plastic4
directory. Write each configuration on a new line in the format 
.<fileextension>:<language>
.

Example 
languages.conf
file

# syntax language definition by file extension.js:JavaScript.custom:XML.txt:Plain text
