Draft: Robot syntax highlighting

Open Akseli Lahtinen requested to merge work/alahtinen/robot-syntax into master

I've been working on a small robot framework language syntax highlighting. Some things are a bit off still, I can't get strings to work. I recommend checking the general idea for the syntax from here: https://github.com/robocorp/robotframework-lsp/tree/master/robocorp-code I couldn't find any better source for it.

If you have any ideas how to improve this, please share!

Here's the above example for copy-paste testing. The syntax highlighting by gitlab is pretty spot on, so we could try to mimick them.

*** Settings ***
Documentation    Example of calling a Libarary file, Note the reason why LSP does not complain is because
...    "robot.libraries.libdoc.needsArgs" Documentation has an entry of "../libs/Example.py"
Library        ${ROOT}/libs/Example.py    ${EXAMPLE}

*** Test Cases ***
Use Lib Function
    [Tags]    Asd
    [Documentation]    Call Libarary file
    Example.Print Args

*** Settings ***
Documentation     A test suite with a single test for valid login.
...
...               This test has a workflow that is created using keywords in
...               the imported resource file.
Resource          login.resource

*** Test Cases ***
Valid Login
    Open Browser To Login Page
    Input Username    demo
    Input Password    mode
    Submit Credentials
    Welcome Page Should Be Open
    [Teardown]    Close Browser

    ${EXAMPLE} =    ebin
    #Comment
    # Commentgfdgfg
# comment
#comment 3asdasf        dfsfsd

    IF    $var_in_py_expr1 == $var_in_py_expr2
        Call Keyword
    ELSE
        
    END
