HTML (Liquid) Syntax Highlighting Needed for Dreamweaver

I would like to see Dreamweaver implement Liquid Syntax Highlighting like the one for Sublime Text here: https://github.com/siteleaf/liquid-syntax-mode or similar with auto completion snippets built in. Something like a mixed document type of HTML(Liquid).  It would be great if we could map documents with specific extensions to other doc types. For example, when developing sites on Adobe Business Catalyst, I often save files with the .inc extension.  Dreamweaver by default recognizes these as text documents with no syntax highlighting. Every time I open the document I have to manually switch the document type to HTML.  If I could map .inc extension as HTML doc type, that would be awesome, or better yet as HTML(liquid) doc type.

    Hello, since quite a bit of time has passed since the last request — was there any progress made on Dreamweaver reading and color coding .liquid Shopify server side files? Hope there is, or I'll have to use Sublime or VSCode. Let me know, thanks!

    As @Nancy OShea  states, VS Code is an excellent alternative.

     

    If you want something special, try Wappler which shares the same Monaco Editor  as VS Code. Wappler is what Dreamweaver could have been if Adobe had listened to their Dreamweaver users.

     

     

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

      Does Wappler support Liquid?

      Yes, I can. But I was able to do that before editing these files. The problem is that I can change it but when I close and re-open it, I have to change it again. It keeps defaulting to text for .inc instead of recognizing it as html and defaulting to that. This is still the case even after editing the configuration files.

      Make sure to post over in the Ideas Forum: Adobe Dreamweaver CC: Feature Ideas so people can vote on your idea and the development team can see it (they rarely ever visit the user-to-user forums). If enough people like the idea and up-vote it, the dev team may find their way to add it to the program.

      I gave it a thumbs up vote.  I think it's a good idea particularly since Business Catalyst uses liquid.  It makes a lot of sense that Adobe's code editor should support more file types.

      In the meantime, see if this helps you.

      Add or edit recognized file extensions in Dreamweaver
