      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

          @Ekopalypse I don’t need to format anything!
          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)

              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.

                      sorry - I thought you already knew it.
                      Yes, that is its usage.

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

                                    @Ekopalypse I found the file “contextMenu.xml” on the Internet with full Russification of comments
                                    … 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)))

                                      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 :-)
