I'm playing around with MVC 5 RC 1 in Visual Studio 2013 RC. Works very well.
Now I upgraded an existing MVC 4 project in VS 2012 to MVC 5 the same way as described here
I also changed the web.config(s) - see "upgrading from MVC4 to MVC5"
Everything (build, run web app, even intellisense) works perfectly except the syntax highlighting of Razor/C# code in views.
I also tried it with an MVC 5 project created in VS 2013. Same result. So I assume VS 2012 doesn't "understand" the new assemblies?!
Any known workaround or ideas to get highlighting back?

Razor is a markup syntax that lets you embed server-based code into web pages using C# and VB.Net. It is not a programming language. It is a server side markup language. Razor has no ties to ASP.NET MVC because Razor is a general-purpose templating engine.
Razor is one of the view engines supported in ASP.NET MVC. Razor allows you to write a mix of HTML and server-side code using C# or Visual Basic.
Razor is a simple programming syntax for embedding server code in web pages. Razor syntax is based on the ASP.NET framework, the part of the Microsoft.NET Framework that's specifically designed for creating web applications.
Microsoft released a new version of ASP.NET Web Tools for VS 2012. After installing syntax highlighting is back again.

Installing VS 2012 Update 4 was not enough.
A set of offline installers is available. The offline installers are easier to use than the Web Platform Tools invoker (WebNode11Pack.exe @ ~114KB):
