This enables features like syntax highlighting to work.\n\n**However**, this does not work for [symbol search](https://docs.sourcebot.dev/docs/features/code-navigation#find-definitions). At index time, universal ctags is not reading from `.gitattributes` and therefore does not resolve symbols for the file as it does not know the language.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/brendan-kellam","@type":"Person","name":"brendan-kellam"},"datePublished":"2026-05-11T23:17:33.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/1192/sourcebot/issues/1192"}| route-pattern | /_view_fragments/issues/show/:user_id/:repository/:id/issue_layout(.:format) |
