Configure injection rules
You can configure language injection rules on the Editor | Language Injections page of settings Ctrl+Alt+S.
All pre-defined injection rules are configured for the Built-in scope. In other words, they are global (and therefore available in all CLion projects). Custom rules can be configured for the IDE or for one project only. To change the scope of custom injections, use the Move to Project/IDE Scope icon .
To configure custom injection rules, click the Add icon to add a new rule, or copy a predefined rule and change its settings.
