Add
.mdc
to Markdown configuration to allow syntax highlighting for Cursor rules files.Description
See discussion in Cursor forum here: What is a .mdc file?.
The Cursor team is simply using this extension for Markdown files with frontmatter for their rules files, which are gaining traction in a number of projects using Cursor AI. At present there seems to be nothing else different about their implementation, except that the file extension
.mdc
allows their editor to pick up the file to use a custom editor experience.Adding it to Linguist would simply help with syntax highlighting of these files.
