A Pygments lexer plugin for SimStm

SimStm Pygments Lexer Plugin

A Pygments plugin that provides syntax highlighting support for the SimStm language.
SimStm is a small, stack-based language used for defining simulation control flows.

This plugin adds a custom lexer so that .stm files can be syntax-highlighted in Pygments-supported tools (e.g., Sphinx, code formatters, converters, etc.).
