MarScript Extension for Visual Studio Code

This extension provides language support for MarScript and MarWin from Mahr GmbH.

Features

• Syntax highlighting for MarScript files (*.sbr, *.mpr, *.inc)
• Support for:
  • Keywords (BEGIN, END, IF, ELSE, etc.)
  • Data types (INT, DOUBLE, STRING)
  • Built-in functions (ABS, FLOOR, SQRT, etc.)
  • Numeric literals (integers, floats, hex, binary, scientific notation)
  • Comments (Single line // and Multi line /* */)
  • Operators

Installation

From VS Code Marketplace

1. Open Visual Studio Code
2. Open the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X)
3. Search for "MarScript"
4. Click "Install"

Manual Installation

Download the .vsix file from the Releases page and install it:

code --install-extension marscript-x.y.z.vsix

Supported File Types

• .sbr - MarScript source files
• .mpr - MarScript program files
• .inc - MarScript include files

⚠️ Important: Character Encoding

MarScript files typically use the character encoding Windows-1252 (ISO 8859-1). Please make sure that the following setting is set in your .vscode/settings.json:

{
  "files.encoding": "windows1252",
  "[marscript]": {
    "files.encoding": "windows1252"
  }
}

This ensures that special characters (like umlauts: ä, ö, ü) are displayed correctly.

Usage

Once installed, the extension automatically provides syntax highlighting for all .sbr, .mpr, and .inc files.
