Python Inline Source 2: Syntax Highlighting Using Type Annotations

The original Python Inline Source by Sam Willis is no longer maintained. Please raise your issues and questions in this repo.

The PyPI package and VSCode extension have also been migrated:

• PyPI: sourcetypes -> sourcetypes2
• VSCode: samwillis.python-inline-source -> jurooravec.python-inline-source-2

This fork is based on v0.0.4.

This project enables inline syntax highligting of strings in python source files for multiple languages using type annotations.

Supports html, css, javascript, typescript, sql, graphql, multiple css extension languages, template languages and many more, see below for a full list.

Uses typing.Annotated to annotate the str type with the language used. You can use typing.get_type_hints at runtime to determine the language that a string has been annotated with.
