I think texcomments is the only thing that I am still missing, everything else works perfectly for me now. I have tried playing around with the code a little, but not luck so far.

How would I detect if content is inside a comment or not?

How would I detect if content is inside a comment or not?

The result of the call to highlighter.codeToThemedTokens() includes not only the color with which to highlight a token, but also an explanation. This explanation tells you the kind of token, which in Visual Studio Code lingo is called a scope. You can inspect the scope to determine if a token is a comment.

To learn more about this, you can play around in Visual Studio Code: open a file, hit ⌘⇧P, activate the option Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes, and move your cursor around:

That said, I must admit that when I implemented the support for mathescape I did none of this. I don’t check whether a token is a comment; I simply check if a token contains $, which is a hack that works most of the time.

We should probably fix this.
