<![CDATA[Editing the file "context Menu.xml" how to add a submenu to the context menu?]]>I added in the “context Menu.xml” selection of switching language files.
Can I add submenus to reduce the size of the context menu?
To make it look like the “Style token” menu

sometimes I feel the same, but most IT documentation is in English, so … we have to live with it … until the Chinese take over operating system development :-) then we have to learn Mandarin :-)

… everything is described in detail and clearly how to edit the context menu.
It’s too bad that I know English … because of this, all the problems)))

There is a Russian proverb:
“Смотришь в книгу …а видишь фигу”
I do not know how beautiful it is to translate into English)))

seems I wasn’t clear. The tag you are looking for is FolderName.
So something like

<Item FolderName="SWITCH" MenuEntryName="Language" MenuItemName="CSS"/>
<Item FolderName="SWITCH" MenuEntryName="Language" MenuItemName="HTML"/>

would do what you want.
In case you want to have a different name you can use the ItemNameAs tag.

I need to switch between the syntax of languages
(in one file there may be html and css … but two syntaxes do not work at the same time)

yes, like so

		<Item FolderName="Heureka" PluginEntryName="Python Script" PluginCommandItemName="format_json" ItemNameAs="JSON Format"/>
