Syntax colorization for MapServer Mapfile keywords. Implemented as TextMate Grammar file (JSON format) which is supported in Visual studio 2017 text editor.

The base directory for custom TextMate Grammar files in Visual Studio 2017 is %USERPROFILE%\.vs\Extensions\. In the most cases that path resolves to: C:\Users\<yourusername>\.vs\Extensions\ In this directory create directory named MapServer, then create Syntaxes inside it. Place MapServer.json file into that directory.

The final path will be: C:\Users\<yourusername>\.vs\Extensions\MapServer\Syntaxes\MapServer.json

Run Visual Studio, open MapServer text file (with .map extension), now it should display with syntax highlighting.

• Currently provides very basic set of MapServer Mapfile keywords and rules
• Visual studio crashes when cursor hovering collapsed blocks (similar to issue)
