+# Syntax Highlighting
+## Notepad++
+For Notepad++, define a custom language for Squirrel.
+Luckily, [samisalreadytaken has written a squirrel highlighter](https://gist.github.com/samisalreadytaken/5bcf322332074f31545ccb6651b88f2d#file-squirrel-xml).
+1. Download Squirrel.xml
+2. At the top, edit ' ext="nut" ' to ' ext="nut gnut" ' so it works with gnut files as well.
+3. Open Notepad++
+4. Navigate to Language > User Defined Language > Define your language
+5. Click import, and select Squirrel.xml
+(If the colors/style are not to your taste)
+6. Select 'Squirrel' in User Language at the top
+7. Navigate through the tabs to find what you want to change
+8. Click its 'Styler' button and make the changes you wish to.
+
+## VSCode
+VSCode has extensions avaliable for working with squirrel, and searching "squirrel" in the extensions marketplace will give you them.
+
+However, installing this will only create an associastion for .nut files, and not .gnut files.
+To fix this:
+1. Open a .gnut file.
+2. Do CTRL+K, M (not CTRL+K, CTRL+M)
+3. Select 'Configure File Association for .gnut'
+4. Select 'Squirrel' (only appears if you have the extension)
+5. Done! \ No newline at end of file
