How to create a new language for use in Visual Studio

Question

I want to write a new templating language, and I want Visual Studio to \"support\" it. What I need to know is:

1. How do I parse my new language?

Answer 1

I was using VS with own language and desperately needed a syntax highlight. I built mine based on this tutorial: https://mattduffield.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/writing-a-brightscript-syntax-highlight-extension-for-visual-studio-2010/

I know the tutorial is in VS2010. I made mine in VS2012 with no or very small hiccups. (also worked in VS2013) Recently I changed to VS2015 and the solution can be edited, built with no problem.
