Description

monaco-editor version: 0.2.0 Browser: Tested on Chromium and Firefox OS: Ubuntu 19.10

When the language is set to razor, @code or @functions is not recognized and shows up (along with all the C# code inside of it) in the default text color. This can be reproduced by going to the Monaco Editor homepage, setting the language to razor, and entering this code:

@{
    @* This C# code will have syntax highlighting *@
    var test = "testing";
    if (true)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("testing");
    }
}
@code {
    @* This C# code will not have syntax highlighting *@
    var test = "testing";
    if (true)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("testing");
    }
}
@functions {
    @* This C# code will also not have syntax highlighting *@
    var test = "testing";
    if (true)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("testing");
    }
}

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Razor tokenization rules in Monaco Editor and find where @code and @functions are handled. Look at the existing C# tokenizer or the razor language definition.
