Function get_syntax

pub fn get_syntax<S: AsRef<str>>(
    name: S,
) -> Option<&'static [SyntaxRule<'static>]>

Given a language name, get syntax rules for a predefined language included in the crate. Returns None if the language is not supported.

In the case of None, check the following:

• The language name must be written in all lower case.
• The language name must not use special symbols e.g. use "cpp" not "c++".

If syntax rules for a language does not exist, then consider trying another language, which has similar syntax rules when it comes to comments and strings. For instance c vs cpp or css vs scss.

assert!(get_syntax("rust").is_some());
assert!(get_syntax("c").is_some());
assert!(get_syntax("cpp").is_some());
assert!(get_syntax("python").is_some());
