I take it that you need to format 8085 Assembler.... Is this correct?


If you are willing to do a bit of work yourself, I am willing to write 
the parser and integrate this into the extension. The extension 
currently only supports: Basic, C++, Java, Perl, Python, R, XML, and C#. 
I have not done assembly in years, so I am very rusty on the syntax and 
similar.

The colorizer recognizes the following things and colorizes them separately:

Comments
Literals
Keywords
Identifiers
Special characters (such as periods, commas, parenthesis, etc).

Things I would require (that we can work out in private email):

(1) List of keywords
(2) list of special characters
(3) How to identify comments
(4) What do I need to know to format the listings?
(5) What colors might be common for the identified types?

For item (4), it may be as simple as

<white space> <tokens><white space><operands and such>
<label>:

Stuff like that so we can determine if this is sufficient. Perhaps you 
need to recognize registers using a different character style.
