Liquid file formatting

[Rick Davey]

In Shopify the files: fielname.liquid are mostly HTMl with some extras added. I would like to have HTML coloring , etc for this file type.

Can I find a way to create a new language type without having to duplicate everything that is in the HTML construct. I would like to clone and modify but I cannot find the HTML file to copy.

Yes, it would be hard to create a new User Defined Language…
For using existing HTML highlight, you can add the liquid extension to langs.xml file in the Language name="html" part and you can add some more keywords inside <Keywords name="instre1"> so these are highlighted.
