I’m not sure if that changed after some upgrade, but the code highlight in VSCode is not looking nice now. Here is a comparison with what appears on the github page:

VSCode:

Is that expected? Should I tune any option to improve that?

Noticed now that it is Theme-dependent. That was with “Light (Visual Studio)”, but with “Light+ (default light)” the syntax highlight is good:
