Adds Razor syntax highlighting for Blazor components (.razor) and ASP.NET Core Razor Pages / MVC views (.cshtml), following the guidance in zed-industries/extensions#7567 to bring this into the C# extension.

Fixes #41.

What's included

• Razor language (languages/razor/) registered for .razor and .cshtml, with highlighting for directives, implicit/explicit expressions, control-flow blocks, and C# code blocks; plus bracket matching, auto-indentation, and razor code fences.
• Grammar pins in extension.toml:
  • razor → Meeksoft/tree-sitter-razor @ 97ce5a5 — fork of tris203/tree-sitter-razor @ d4664e4 (current main), adding parsing of Razor expressions inside quoted HTML attribute values and queryable attribute names.
  • html_razor → Meeksoft/tree-sitter-html @ bb3ca3e — fork of tree-sitter/tree-sitter-html @ bfa075d (the revision Zed's html extension pins), whose quoted attribute values may contain Razor expressions.
• Markup is highlighted by injecting a hidden html-razor language (languages/html-razor/, ~50 lines of queries) instead of plain html, so values like data-date="@x.ToString("o")" keep their string colors instead of terminating at the first inner quote. CSS in <style> and JS in <script> still highlight through the standard injection chain.

Scope

Editing support only. No language server is attached to Razor buffers, and .cs, .csproj, and .slnx behavior is unchanged.

Screenshots

Dashboard.cshtml + ProductCatalog.razor in VS Code Dark Modern:

Verification

Installed as a dev extension and verified:

• .cs, .csproj, .slnx highlighting and language servers unchanged
• .razor / .cshtml recognized as Razor; directives, expressions, and control flow highlighted
• CSS/JS injections inside <style> / <script> work
• Attribute expressions with nested quotes colored correctly
• No language server starts for Razor buffers

🟡 Changes recommended

languages/html-razor/highlights.scm uses nonstandard capture names (@punctuation.*.html) that are inconsistent with the repo’s other queries and may not be themed correctly in Zed.

Pull request overview

This PR adds a Razor language definition to the C# Zed extension so .razor (Blazor components) and .cshtml (ASP.NET Razor Pages/MVC views) get syntax highlighting and basic editor behaviors, while leaving existing C# / project-file behavior unchanged.

Changes:

• Registers a new Razor language for .razor and .cshtml, including syntax highlighting, bracket matching, and indentation rules.
• Adds a hidden html-razor language used for markup highlighting/injection so Razor expressions inside quoted attribute values don’t break string coloring.
• Pins tree-sitter grammars for razor and a forked html_razor in extension.toml.

• html-razor uses @punctuation.bracket.html for tag delimiters; other query files in this repo use standard captures like @punctuation.bracket/@punctuation.delimiter without language suffixes. Using the standard capture improves theme compatibility and keeps punctuation coloring consistent.

Thanks for this.

• Why are the assets included in this PR?
• Is there a reason why we are using your grammar as opposed to the most popular grammar found when searching for one from https://github.com/tris203/tree-sitter-razor?
• What is the html-razor language needed for?

[meeksoft]

Thank you for reviewing, appreciate the time and effort.

• I apologize for having the assets in the PR. They were a way to include the screen-shots to help explain the outcome.
• Decided to fork, instead of having to request another PR. At the time of the fork, i added:
  • More Full C# expressions in attribute values.
  • Some Queryable attribute names
• Yes, the main purpose is so i can have colorful styling on my Razor page. It's been a few weeks, but the last time i used the other existing HTM, C#, etc wouldn't style my test page fully.

I have attached my test file, aka the screenshots. AppealsTimer.cshtml. I had to rename the extension to .html
AppealsTimer.html

Thank you for having me respond.
