  (add-to-list 'lsp-language-id-configuration
    '(yara-mode . "yara"))

  (lsp-register-client
    (make-lsp-client :new-connection (lsp-stdio-connection "yls")
                     :activation-fn (lsp-activate-on "yara")

yara-mode's Issues

Several issues with highlighting rules

• In multi-line C-style comments (/* … */) only the first line is properly highlighted.
• Single line C++-style comments (// … EOL) are not recognized.
• rule identifier { highlights "identifier" and everything after it with font-lock-warning-face (why this choice anyway?)
• hex strings and regular expressions (strings section) are not recognized.
