The highlighting comment char is hardcoded, however I've just seen that the source file has two lexers - Matlab and Octave. We only use the Matlab one. We could either add Octave as a separate filetype or just make the Matlab filetype use Octave highlighting (the first is safer but a bit messy if the two syntaxes are virtually the same). What do you (and other users) think? Regards, Nick _______________________________________________ Geany mailing list [email protected] http://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany
