It doesn't look like there is (just grey code blocks), but perhaps I am missing a way to trigger it.

    According to this, no, there isn't.

  • Your command prompt doesn't even syntax highlight DOS commands. Why would you need an editor to color code that doesn't even have a defined set of colors? Just use <!-- language: lang-none --> and be done with it...

    Aaron: True, but most people's bash shells don't colorize anything either, yet there is a highlighter for bash.

  • @AaronBertrand my terminal has the option to colorized special words even though the shell itself has no similar function

  • @AaronBertrand powershell does highlight the commands, unlike cmd.exe

Use

<!-- language: lang-vb -->

Example

rem this is a comment
set here="is a string with spaces"
rem here are some keywords
call zulu
date zulu
do zulu
else zulu
erase zulu
exit zulu
for zulu
goto zulu
if zulu
in zulu
not zulu

    But why? It seems illogical. Can you provide an explanation in the answer? Jul 23, 2019 at 11:48
  • @P.Mort.-forgotClayShirky_q no DOS specific highlighter is available, but the VB one is similar

You can try lang-dos. It's a somewhat weak approach, but may be better than nothing:

@echo off
SET Var=Value
ECHO Var is now %Var%
"C:\Program Files\SomeCommand.exe" /?
IF NOT %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 ( EXIT /B 1 )
CALL OtherScript.cmd
REM etc.
