At the company that I have been work, we use GitLab. We have a really big COBOL code base.

But, GitLab doesn't implement colorization for this language.

It would be really nice, if we can colorize the code to help COBOL developers around the world to read COBOL code in GitLab.

As an example, we can see here: https://gitlab.com/cobol_m/cobol_lab1/-/blob/master/SWAPV.COB that de code has no colorization to help the developer to read the code.

We have to predict .CBL, .COB, .CPY and .CPB file extensions.

@thutterer Maybe you can help me in this situation too? 😅 It would be great if you can tag a responsible about this implementation.

Could we implement this colorization to COBOL language?
