VB Script Language Support?

could it or is it implemented? please. thank you.
VB syntax highlighting should work fine out of the box.
I've tested it and everything is colored correct.
But in order to enable VB for Atom you need to install the specific package. Atom supports many languages out of the box (core language packages), but VB must be installed as community package.
I used the community package language-vb created and maintained by Gorea235.
If you're already using this package but would like to change parts of the syntax highlighting or found missing, non-colored elements you can post these suggestions here and I'll see if it fits the overall theme style.
Here's a screenshot of how it should look like with the package mentioned above.
i should have looked at vanilla vbscript file, my apologies. a 3d program i use has their own flavor and i only have seen their flavor rendered. sorry.
No problem 😄
You can try to set the language for the file manually to VB to see if it also works for the specific flavor, Atom detects the language of a file by its extension which may be the reason the file has been colored as "Plain Text" since there is no package linked to the this extension.
If you're familar with JavaScript/Coffeescript you could also fork the language-vb package and create a new one for this 3D tool flavor or maybe create a issue in the repository so the creator may add the file extension to the package 😃
