Description

Hi,

I'm a SAS user, and would you mind adding SAS syntax highlighting?

SAS (full name: statistical analysis system, referred to as SAS) is one of the largest private software companies in the world. It is a statistical analysis software developed by North Carolina State University in 1966.

Code looks like below screenshot: image

Thanks

Research direction
Study existing language implementations in Monaco Editor (e.g., languages folder for syntax highlighting). Look at how tokenization rules are defined (monarch language definitions). Follow the pattern to add a new SAS language definition. Test with sample SAS code.
