You are right about i.!.0. It is discussed in
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/IFamily but who has read that?
You are also right that the datatypes matter.
Highlighting near-misses would be great, if it could be doone.

In addition to the higlighting of correctly used special combinations, I
think it would also be useful to highlight, or issue warnings for (as done
for 9!:55) for near-misses, i.e. caused by phrases that could use a special
combination, but miss it due to wrong or missing parentheses etc.
My uneducated hunch is that datatypes on which the special combinations are
executed are also important, but would only be available at execution time.
Another type of phrases that might be nice to highlight is things like
possibilities for speeding up by dropping tolerant comparison: While
working on AoC, I recently had a case where using i.!.0 instead of i. for
lookup of rows in a matrix sped up the program by more than 20x !
My two cents.

In the wiki, we have <syntaxhighlight lang="J"> </syntaxhighlight> aka

In jqt, we're using QSyntaxHighlighter
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsyntaxhighlighter.html
https://github.com/jsoftware/qtide/blob/master/lib/high/highj.cpp#L15
I think jhs uses CodeMirror.

I hope this helps,

My question about the wiki was if there was already an informational
reference that might have had a term I was not thinking of.
Working within a wiki page seems like it might be new question
altogether.

My twopence:
Worth confirming: did you mean syntax highlighting on wiki pages or for
the various text editors? Can't speak for jQt IDE.The answer for both
is
'yes', certainly for the simpler ones. Easier for the former, I reckon.
Consider also: should special combinations receive one color, that of
what
they resolve to; or should they additionally be italicized,
emboldened, or
underlined?
For my syntax highlighting code for kakoune, I'd considered indicating
with straight and wavy underlines whether a verb train resolves to a
hook
or a fork. I'd decided against it to not add clutter.

Hi all, I hope you are all well.
Two questions.
1. Is there a way to include Special Combinations in Syntax
Highlighting?
Meaning some visual indicator that an arrangement of Operators
triggers a
Special Combination.
2. What page should I be looking up to understand the significance of
Syntax Highlights.
I am not sure what exactly that is called.
For example:
Something(...) NB. Colour change to 'Something'
Vs.
Something (...) NB. No Colour changes to 'Something'
Which page do I find that type of information?
Thank you,
AO.
