How to get Gherkin syntax highlighting for .feature files in Visual Studio?

Question

There's no highlighting for Feature, Scenario, Given, When, Then, etc. keywords by default. Is there a ready made template out there to enable this?

The recent vesions of SpecFlow have a built-in syntax highlighting for VS2010.

make sure you install via the website as opposed to NuGet - some features, for example, run scenario within a .feature file seems only to work if installed this way. – Karan May 31 '12 at 08:36

@Newton: SpecFlow has two parts. The Visual Studio integration has to be installed as MSI, but the runtime (so what is included in your project) can be installed with NuGet. – Gaspar Nagy Jul 13 '12 at 07:17
