Needs a space after `:` before the type to activate
The extension does not work unless there is a space after the : that separates the variable name and the type name.
html = str
html_doc:html = """
<!DOCTYPE html>
"""
html_doc: html = """
<!DOCTYPE html>
"""
I was ready to assume the extension simply didn't work and was about to uninstall it, after already trying restarting vscode and opening and closing the file, but I happened to hit my format shortcut just before giving up on it.
Regex for all types are stored in vscode-python-inline-source/syntaxes/python-inline-source.json file
For example: Regex for Markdown is
(:) ((((\\w+)(\\.))?(markdown|md))|((\")(markdown|md)(\"))|((')(markdown|md)('))) (=) ([bBrRuU]?f?)(\"{3})
In order to support both conditions, i.e. with and without spaces, we only need to make a small change to the regex and make the whitespace optional.
So, we can simply change it to
(:) ?((((\\w+)(\\.))?(markdown|md))|((\")(markdown|md)(\"))|((')(markdown|md)('))) (=) ([bBrRuU]?f?)(\"{3})
By adding ? after (:) we can fix the confusion, it should now work with and without a space.
I'll be more than happy to open a PR for this but this looks like an abandoned project.
I hope this info can help someone.
