ABAP Syntax Highlight

ABAP Syntax Highlight

Adds ABAP syntax highlighting to ```abap fenced code blocks in Obsidian, both in Reading view and while editing (Live Preview / Source mode).

Features

• Highlights ABAP keywords, strings ('...', `...`, |...| string templates), comments (* line comments and inline " comments), pragmas (##...), numbers, and operators.
• Works in Reading view and in the editor, using Obsidian's theme CSS variables so colors match your active theme in both light and dark mode.
• No network access, no telemetry, no external dependencies bundled into the plugin.

Example

```abap
REPORT zz_test_report.

DATA: lv_name TYPE string.

IF lv_name IS INITIAL.
  lv_name = |Hello { sy-uname }|. " inline comment
ENDIF.
```

Installation

From the Community Plugins directory

Once available in Obsidian's Community Plugins directory: open Settings → Community plugins → Browse, search for "ABAP Syntax Highlight", and select Install, then Enable.

Manually

1. Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest release.
2. Copy them into <YourVault>/.obsidian/plugins/abap-syntax-highlight/.
3. Reload Obsidian and enable the plugin under Settings → Community plugins.

Development

npm install
npm run dev    # watch mode
npm run build  # type-check + production build
npm run lint   # eslint

Source lives in src/:

• abap-tokenizer.ts — the shared ABAP token rules used by both rendering paths.
• abap-reading-view.ts — renders highlighted ```abap blocks in Reading view via registerMarkdownCodeBlockProcessor.
• abap-live-preview.ts — a CodeMirror 6 extension that highlights ```abap blocks in the editor.
• main.ts — plugin entry point, wires the two above.
