Can I get Visual Studio to provide Intellisense and syntax coloring for Less Css ?

Question

I am experimenting with Less Css, and I am using Visual Studio 2010.

It would be nice if the editor provided support for syntax highlighting and Intellisense for Less, for instance coloring and suggesting variables. What are my options to get that to work ? Do I need to write a plugin for it, or how would one go about adding this to VS ? Does anything exist for this already ?

Answer 1

I can't find one on the Visual Studio Gallery (as of 5/2/10) besides CSS Is Less, which only hooks up the built-in CSS language service.

If you want to learn how to write one yourself, you can start by looking at the Ook Language Integration sample. Implementing the extension points in that sample (classification, quick info source, completion source) will give you the features you asked for (syntax highlighting, hover tips, intellisense completion).
