I use Adobe Brackets daily, and mainly edit classic ASP pages. The pages I edit are colour coded and I get all the usual code completion hints and so on. Works great!

Edge Code should already highlight .asp files as plain HTML. If you're looking for highlighting of the ASP-specific code, that is something Edge Code does not plan to support out of the box.

It is possible to write an extension that adds this support, but it would not be a small amount of work -- you'd have to write a tokenizer yourself to support syntax highlighting, for example. Details on writing an extension that adds a new language can be found here: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/Language-Support#defining-a-new-language

I guess that the only remaining option is to create your own extension. Don't forget to share.

We have some old sites running asp Classic (Active server Pages)

How can I add color coding for .asp files?
