Description

Hi,

I'm trying to use CM with a very simple DSL. All I care about for now is keyword and comment highlighting.

I don't want to write a whole new language pack using LeZer parser and ... .

Is it possible via react-codemirror? I noticed there is this https://codemirror.net/5/demo/simplemode.html but I'm not sure how it can be integrated with reac-codemirror.

Start by reviewing the react-codemirror integration entry points and the CodeMirror 5 simplemode demo linked in the issue. Determine whether custom keyword and comment highlighting can be integrated without a full language pack, then document the supported approach and a minimal example if one exists.
