<p>At a quick read of the link you posted it looked to me like Ansible is an extended version of YAML.</p>
<p>If thats right then any extended syntax needs to be recognised by the lexers to be highlighted, and the lexers are part of the Scintilla project.  So in that case thats where to propose the addition first.</p>
<p>If thats not the case you need to explain what the difference is, and what you actually want to do, rather than expecting others to educate themselves on the language and/or on a different tool just to help you.</p>
