# tree-sitter-structured-text

**[tree-sitter]("https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/") grammar for structured text.**

Structured text is an ancient programming language derived from Pascal and is mostly used in automation. There are ongoing efforts to bring it into the present, so I thought it also needs a tree-sitter implementation.

Unfortunatly there does not seem to be an easy obtainable copy of the spec, so I mostly stared at code and implemented the grammar as best as I could. So there is probably still a lot of grammar missing.

I will deploy this to package registries once I feel happy with the grammar.

## How to use

Clone the repository and from the command line:

```sh
# Clone the repo

There is also a devcontainer where all the dependencies and extensions needed for development are installed.
