GDL Syntax Highlight for VSCode

Miha Nahtigal
Advocate
I've just published a VSCode Extension for GDL highlighting (it's free). It is a first release so it is a bit rough. I'll try to update it regularly.

You can download it from VSCode marketplace or install it directly from VSCode->Extensions (search for GDL).

Even when I try to open the gsm file in vscode, it doesn't open.
What should I set up?

Is it possible to write GDL in visual code in ac27?
I am telling you this because I need to study through a trial.

From your article, I am curious whether it is possible to create GDL with visual code.
Even if I install visual code and extension using the method you suggested, I cannot open the gsm file.
I am a person who hopes to create gsm files with visual code. ^^
Have a happy weekend.

You cannot open gsm files with vscode. It can be used with hsf “decompiled” ac objects with possibility to auto compile hsf structure back to gsm.

I am a beginner.
It seems that it is possible to work in vscode without archicad, but are you saying that you can make something other than gsm and use it in archicad?
I would really appreciate it if you could explain it in more detail.
Even if it is a site that I can understand... ^^

Archicad uses gsm, which is a binary format. The "compile" tool is called LP_XMLConverter, it is installed with Archicad.

There are two formats for source code: XML and HSF. XML contains all in a single file, HSF might be more convenient to work with.
