How do I: Visual Studio Syntax Highlighting Extension

Question

I want to develop an extension for VS2010 that will allow me make some additional features to syntax-highlighting.

I installed the SDK, how do I start from?

You might check out

http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/ookLanguage

which has a syntax highlighter in "OokTokenTag.cs" in the C# sample. You do have to parse a whole block of text, of course, but this is not too hard.
