Most programming language options in Visual Studio have built-in syntax coloring. However, I am required to use Assembly Language for my purpose. I have tried various Assembly Language syntax highlighting extensions, but some data types wouldn't be colored properly. How can I implement my own syntax highlighter/colorer? Would it require the development of a Visual Studio Extensions project?
